Nov 12, 2011 at 13:59 comment added Qfwfq @Martin: yes, my answer was only meant to be a (very) partial answer.
Nov 12, 2011 at 11:22 comment added Martin Brandenburg @Qfwfg: Your pushout is really only the pushout in the category of affine schemes. For non-affine schemes, in general, your pushout does noes have the desired universal property. One has to require, for example, that $\phi$ or $\psi$ is surjective (see the paper by Karl Schwede).

Apr 17, 2010 at 6:36 comment added Qfwfq I think I meant something like the "fibered coproduct of schemes". That is, the opposite notion to the actual fibered product in CRings (and the latter corresponds, if I'm not mistaken, to my definition of $D$).
Apr 17, 2010 at 5:52 comment added Harry Gindi The coproduct in CRing is given by the tensor product over $\mathbb{Z}$, and the pushout over $R$ is given by the tensor product over $R$. I suspect you meant the pullback of A and B over R, written $A\times_R B$. Also, the "coproduct" that you're referring to is called the pushout, the gluing, or the "fibered coproduct", although this last one is nonstandard. The coproduct of affine schemes is specifically the disjoint union.
