I created a new role on a database to test something out. What I was doing did not work so now I want to drop this role. When I try to drop the role I get the message &quot;The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped.&quot; I have read through just about every tech note I can find about this message and nothing works. How do I troubleshoot this? How do I find out who the principal is and which schemas it owns? Perhaps that will give me a clue as what has to be done.

The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
