It's a *really* bad idea to do any table creation in a database as the administrative user
(sa, SYSTEM, root,...). The same goes for using 'sde' or any other internal management
account. Instead, create ownership accounts and roles and manage access to the created
objects through roles.
In this particular case, the problem is that the login does not match the user and schema,
since 'sa' maps to 'dbo'.
