There's more…

In the SQL standard, you can also create a schema and the objects it contains in one SQL statement. PostgreSQL accepts this syntax if you need it:

CREATE SCHEMA foo       CREATE TABLE account       (id         INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY       ,balance     NUMERIC(50,2))       CREATE VIEW accountsample AS       SELECT *       FROM account       WHERE random() < 0.1;

Mostly, I find this limiting. This syntax exists to allow us to create two or more objects at the same time. That can be achieved more easily using PostgreSQL's ability to allow transactional DDL, which was discussed in the Writing a script that either succeeds entirely or fails entirely recipe.
