As someone else mentioned (I think), even using a separate schema is not
always an acceptable option. If you are using a "packaged" application
(whether commercial or open source), you usually don't want *any*
changes to the vendor provided database. Particularly with commercial
software, that can mean loss of, or problems with, technical support, or
problems when upgrading.
