That's easy. Put the schema diagram on the wall. Close eyes. Throw dart.

AFAIK, the terms "schema" and "sub-schema" originated from the work of the
CODASYL Data Base Task Group (DBTG) in the late '60s and early '70s. The
logical model of the database was sets and sub-schemas defined the
parent-child (owner-member) relationships. You traversed the sets in a
manner similar to DOM tree walking. You generated a schema, wrote
sub-schemas for various programming languages, and then bound them to
application code for compile-time type checking.

That development paradigm was procedural and process-oriented. The industry
has since moved to object-orientation, and I think we're about to make the
next great leap -- declarative programming. We'll express rules and
constraints instead of designing processes or objects.
