Then I'd agree with the OP and think the notice should go away on usage in DML; though it should be kept for DDL.
Can the system be made smart enough to not allow intra-schema collisions in addition to same schema ones? That would
seemto be the area of greatest concern - particularly around the usage of truncate/delete/drop.
Thought: would there be some way to flag a table like this to always require the use of a schema prefix to be accessed
(sinceright now truncated names only have to be schema unique) in certain conditions (drop, delete, truncate)?
