Hi newtophp2000,

In SQL Server 2000, namiing was <server>.<database>.<owner>.<table>. In
SQL Server 20005, this changes to <server>.<database>.<schema>.<table>.

The only change is that owner and schema are now seperated. On migration
from 2000 to 2005, all objects will automatically be placed in a schema
that matches the name of the owner. After that, you can decide to change
the schema, and you set the schema for new objects how you want.
