SQL Server change dbo inside of database

Question

I have an issue, inside my SQL Server database I have master, msdb, tempdb, bets databases. When I'm running my application, application use bets db and inside bets db the default object is dbo.

The question is, how can I change the default dbo (inside bets) to the new value bets?

The structure now

• bets
  • db_accessadmin
  • db_datawriter
  • etc
  • dbo (Default)
  • bets

Need to be something like this

• bets
  • db_accessadmin
  • db_datawriter
  • etc
  • dbo
  • bets (Default)

Update : I forgot to say, that I use it inside docker container and the host machine is Redhat

Do you mean change the default schema of SQL Server? you can try Alter Schema

How do you establish a user's default schema?

You can set the default schema in both SSMS GUI and TSQL.

USE [dbname]
GO
ALTER USER [you] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=guest
GO
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'YOU'
GO
create table leks(c1 int)
-- Now your table is guest.leks

Default schema naming will be always used when the three part name is not specified.

I can see how to change the ownership of a schema to some user, but then can't you make the same user the owner of several schemas?

You could definitely have a single user or role in a database be owning all schemas but something that should fit well in your environment (security).

USE dbname
GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::[db_backupoperator] TO you
GO
USE dbname
GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::[db_accessadmin] TO you
GO

-- I have changed for system schemas , you can definitely do this for all user schemas as well

Which one is the default?

User owning a schema is different to a default schema of an user. An user can own multiple schemas but an user can have only one default schema
