How deeply does Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition cover schema?

Defines schema deployment through DACPAC creation and application, but does not detail individual database objects or migration internals.

Schema

As explained in Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition

A database schema is the formal definition of a database's tables, relationships, constraints, indexes, and other structural objects.

A database schema formally defines tables, relationships, constraints, indexes, and other structural objects. Treating that definition as a versioned artifact makes database changes repeatable. section 13.4

A practical schema workflow uses the following steps:

Build a DACPAC from SQL scripts or a database project. section 13.4
Deploy the DACPAC to an empty SQL Server instance to create the database. section 13.4
Deploy it to an existing server to upgrade the current schema. section 13.4
Run the same tested artifact in disposable development containers and production deployment workflows. section 13.4

Containerized schema deployment

A multi-stage Docker build compiles a database project into NerdDinner.dacpac, copies it into a SQL Server image, and runs initialize.ps1 to install or update the database. section 13.4
