    As other have said dbo is the default schema. I’m not sure why you would want to create a schema that has the same name as the database, but to accomplish what you’ve asked you would have to do something like the following:

    • Create a new schema using the CREATE SCHEMA statement

    • Move your tables from the default schema to the new schema using the ALTER SCHEMA statement.

    An example would be:

    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.schemas WHERE name ='iMature_US')
EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement=N'CREATE SCHEMA iMature_US';
GO   

ALTER SCHEMA iMature_US TRANSFER dbo.PODetail
GO

    You could write a script to transfer all the tables using data from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view.
