在SSMS中创建表（SQL Server）

Question

When I create a table using the interface with SSMS the table "prefix" automatically is set to

MyCompanyName\MyUserID.tableName.  

However when I create a table with a query I am able to set the "prefix" to dbo.tableName.

MY 2 questions are

 (1). What does this "prefix" mean?  
 (2). How do I set the "prefix" to dbo using the SSMS interface?  

I've done some research but can't figure out whether it refers to the schema (which I don't know anything about) or the user. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

This "prefix" is schema name .

You can change it in SSMS in property page (press F4 to open):

Answer 2

It's simply adding the schema name as a prefix.
