Thanks, but schemas are not purely for GRS-1 according to the spec.
They can be equally used with SUTRS for example (as described in
RET3 in the appendicies).

A concrete reason I was after a schema OID for explain and extend was
because ElementSetDetails in explain has a mandatory schema oid field.
What we have done instead is not to report ElementSetDetails for these
two special databases via Explain. It gets around the problem.

If there was a schema OID, we would have used it. Without it, we will
just drop these records from Explain instead.

Thanks
Alan
