  • Note (1): Currently only supports read uncommitted transaction isolation. Version 1.9 adds serializable isolation and version 2.0 will be fully ACID compliant.
  • Note (2): MariaDB and MySQL provide ACID compliance through the default InnoDB storage engine.{{cite web

| url = http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-storage-engine.html

| title = MySQL - The InnoDB Storage Engine

}}{{cite web

| url = http://wiki.oracle.com/page/InnoDB

| title = InnoDB - Oracle Wiki

}}

  • Note (3): "For other than InnoDB storage engines, MySQL Server parses and ignores the {{mono|FOREIGN KEY}} and {{mono|REFERENCES}} syntax in {{mono|CREATE TABLE}} statements. The {{mono|CHECK}} clause is parsed but ignored by all storage engines."{{cite web

| url = http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/create-table.html

| title = MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual

}}

  • Note (4): Support for Unicode is new in version 10.0.
  • Note (5): MySQL provides GUI interface through MySQL Workbench.
  • Note (6): OpenEdge SQL database engine uses Referential Integrity, OpenEdge ABL Database engine does not and is handled via database triggers.

! External routine1

  • Note (1): Both function and procedure refer to internal routines written in SQL and/or procedural language like PL/SQL. External routine refers to the one written in the host languages, such as C, Java, Cobol, etc. "Stored procedure" is a commonly used term for these routine types. However, its definition varies between different database vendors.
  • Note (2): In Derby, H2, LucidDB, and CUBRID, users code functions and procedures in Java.
  • Note (3): ENUM datatype exists. CHECK clause is parsed, but not enforced in runtime.
  • Note (5): Informix supports external functions written in Java, C, & C++.

Databases vs schemas (terminology)

{{Original research|section|date=June 2010}}

The SQL specification defines what an "SQL schema" is; however, databases implement it differently. To compound this confusion the functionality can overlap with that of a parent database. An SQL schema is simply a namespace within a database; things within this namespace are addressed using the member operator dot "{{char|.}}". This seems to be a universal among all of the implementations.

A true fully (database, schema, and table) qualified query is exemplified as such: {{code|SELECT * FROM database.schema.table|sql}}

Both a schema and a database can be used to isolate one table, "foo", from another like-named table "foo". The following is pseudo code:

  • {{code|SELECT * FROM database1.foo|sql}} vs. {{code|SELECT * FROM database2.foo|sql}} (no explicit schema between database and table)
  • {{code|SELECT * FROM [database1.]default.foo|sql}} vs. {{code|SELECT * FROM [database1.]alternate.foo|sql}} (no explicit database prefix)

The problem that arises is that former MySQL users will create multiple databases for one project. In this context, MySQL databases are analogous in function to PostgreSQL-schemas, insomuch as PostgreSQL deliberately lacks off-the-shelf cross-database functionality (preferring multi-tenancy) that MySQL has. Conversely, PostgreSQL has applied more of the specification implementing cross-table, cross-schema, and then left room for future cross-database functionality.

MySQL aliases schema with database behind the scenes, such that {{code|CREATE SCHEMA}} and {{code|CREATE DATABASE}} are analogs. It can therefore be said that MySQL has implemented cross-database functionality, skipped schema functionality entirely, and provided similar functionality into their implementation of a database. In summary, PostgreSQL fully supports schemas and multi-tenancy by strictly separating databases from each other and thus lacks some functionality MySQL has with databases, while MySQL does not even attempt to support standard schemas.

Oracle has its own spin where creating a user is synonymous with creating a schema. Thus a database administrator can create a user called PROJECT and then create a table PROJECT.TABLE. Users can exist without schema objects, but an object is always associated with an owner (though that owner may not have privileges to connect to the database). With the 'shared-everything' Oracle RAC architecture, the same database can be opened by multiple servers concurrently. This is independent of replication, which can also be used, whereby the data is copied for use by different servers. In the Oracle implementation, a 'database' is a set of files which contains the data while the 'instance' is a set of processes (and memory) through which a database is accessed.

Informix supports multiple databases in a server instance like MySQL. It supports the {{code|CREATE SCHEMA}} syntax as a way to group DDL statements into a single unit creating all objects created as a part of the schema as a single owner. Informix supports a database mode called ANSI mode which supports creating objects with the same name but owned by different users.

PostgreSQL and some other databases have support for foreign schemas, which is the ability to import schemas from other servers as defined in ISO/IEC 9075-9 (published as part of SQL:2008). This appears like any other schema in the database according to the SQL specification while accessing data stored either in a different database or a different server instance. The import can be made either as an entire foreign schema or merely certain tables belonging to that foreign schema.{{Cite web

| title = PostgreSQL: Documentation: IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA

| website = www.postgresql.org

| access-date = 2016-06-11

}} While support for ISO/IEC 9075-9 bridges the gap between the two competing philosophies surrounding schemas, MySQL and Informix maintain an implicit association between databases while ISO/IEC 9075-9 requires that any such linkages be explicit in nature.
