The ... stereotype	is used to...
<<schema>>	indicate that the package is a schema.

<<sqlPhysicalModel>>	indicate that the package is a physical model.

The <<schema>> stereotype

The <<schema>> stereotype indicates that the package is a schema in which classes stereotyped <<table>> or <<view>> will be defined.

In a physical model, a <<schema>> can only be found on a package stereotyped <<sqlPhysicalModel>> or <<database>>.

The <<database>> stereotype

The <<database>> stereotype indicates that the package is a database.

A <<database>> can only be found on a package stereotyped <<sqlPhysicalModel>>.

The <<sqlPhysicalModel>> stereotype

The <<sqlPhysicalModel>> stereotype indicates that the package is a physical model. It can contain packages stereotyped <<database>> or <<schema>>, or classes stereotyped <<table>>, <<view>> or <<procedureClass>>.
