RDBMS Schema 
* Used for OLTP systems 
* Traditional and old schema 
* Normalized 
* Difficult to understand and navigate 
* Cannot solve extract and complex problems 
* Poorly modelled 
 
DWH Schema 
* Used for OLAP systems 
* New generation schema 
* De Normalized 
* Easy to understand and navigate 
* Extract and complex problems can be easily solved 
* Very good model

Schema is nothing but the systematic arrangement of tables

 

  • In OLTP it will be normalized
  • In Data warehouse it will be denormalized

The difference depends on the context.

Technically, if Oracle is used, a schema is a "user". In that context there is no difference between the schema's in OLTP or ROLAP.Although, denormalized/nortmalized tables are given as examples above, it is not the difference.

User
It is just an account name for the user
Owns a schema
Have the same name
Create user command, create the user
User can be considered schema
User can created without schema
It is the account for the oracle database
It does include the right to control access over schema objects access control

Schema
It is a collection of database objects s.a. tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, synonyms, indexes, clusters and database links
Owned by user
Create schema command doesn’t create the schema but it creates multiple tables, views and perform multiple grants
Schema can be considered a user
Schema can’t created without a user
It is objects for the oracle database
It does not include the right to their access control
