I don't know if it provides what you are referring to, or if you're using the same term to describe something different, but in Drupal 6, there is a new Schema API: http://drupal.org/node/146843
It is not the same. I was refering to PostgreSQL schema : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/ddl-schemas.html database contains one or more named schemas, which in turn contain tables. Schemas also contain other kinds of named objects, including data types, functions, and operators. The same object name can be used in different schemas without conflict; for example, both schema1 and myschema may contain tables named mytable. Unlike databases, schemas are not rigidly separated: a user may access objects in any of the schemas in the database he is connected to, if he has privileges to do so. There are several reasons why one might want to use schemas: * To allow many users to use one database without interfering with each other. * To organize database objects into logical groups to make them more manageable. * Third-party applications can be put into separate schemas so they cannot collide with the names of other objects. Schemas are analogous to directories at the operating system level, except that schemas cannot be nested.
