The easiest way is usually to have ArcGIS create a user, it will automatically create a schema with the same name, and set proper privileges for the user. I don't know what happens if the schema already exists, though.

Your answer is probably right when it comes to how ArcGIS is made to work with PostgreSQL. Genarally speaking the name of the database in PostgreSQL can be "ecofield.sde", even it is a bad idea stackoverflow.com/questions/58520530/…. And schemas are not "users in a database" postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-schemas.html "Unlike databases, schemas are not rigidly separated: a user can access objects in any of the schemas in the database they are connected to, if they have privileges to do so."

Oh, it works!! Thank you very much for your detailed instruction. After creating a user "shape_test" and set proper permission, I am able to register the table with geodatabase. I was confused with concept of database user, geodatabase owner, data owner... But I am kind of understand now. Thanks again for your explanation
