I think we're stuck.  We can't avoid the fact that the SQL syntax uses
the keyword SCHEMA to mean a namespace.  We also can't avoid the very
common usage of "database schema" to mean the logical structure of your
table collection.  Trying to redefine or avoid either of these terms is
hopeless.  Maybe we could add some text in the tutorial to point out
the double meaning?
