Re: Multiple Schemas/Users Supported?

[Jay Pipes]

Schemas = Databases
Schemas <> Database Users

In SQL Server, I believe you are referring to the ability to do:

SELECT * FROM my_database.dbo.my_table

correct?

However, AFAIK, a *schema* means a database, not a user.

In MySQL, you can have multiple schemas: simply do:

SELECT fields FROm my_schema.my_table;

You can have multiple users, however, you do not reference the user in your SQL statements. Users are simply authenticated upon login and checked for privileges (permissions, in SQL Server terms) upon query execution.
