- Go to the top of the page and click 'search'.
- Type 'Difference schema user' in the text box and click the submit button.

Anyway, it comes down to this:
A schema is a "container" for objects and a user is mostly a schema's owner.
So, a schema is the collection of objects owned by a user.
A user can connect to the database, a schema not.
A user can grant access to his schema to other users.

Look also here and here.

From the manuals:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A schema is a collection of database objects. A schema is owned by a database user and has the same name as that user. Schema objects are the logical structures that directly refer to the database's data.
