Research direction

Start by locating the Database entry point and the existing scheme and table-removal operations. Trace how table references to schemes are represented, then add coverage for dropping an unused scheme and for rejecting a scheme still used by a table. The work is done when both cases have clear, tested behavior.

Description

enhancement

To avoid that a user removes a scheme that is used in a table, it could make sense to introduce Database.drop_scheme() to raise an error in that case.
