    Does anybody see any fallacies to putting all lookup tables (static reference data) in their own schema?

    example: lkp.States

    lkp = schema

    States = table name

    Nope. But I would suggest not naming the schema lkp. That doesn't mean much. I would change it to lookup. Makes it immediately and extremely clear what that schema is. Just remember that it will force you to put the schema on every query (which is a great habit to get into).
