Does MySQL support schema?
In MySQL, physically, a schema is synonymous with a database. You can substitute the keyword SCHEMA instead of DATABASE in MySQL SQL syntax, for example using CREATE SCHEMA instead of CREATE DATABASE .
Is database and schema same in MySQL?
In MySQL, schema is synonymous with database. Logical structure can be used by the schema to store data while memory component can be used by the database to store data. Also, a schema is collection of tables while a database is a collection of schema.
How are schemas and databases the same in MySQL?
A schema can be owned by any user, and its ownership is transferable. In MySQL, databases and schemas are exactly the same thing, you can even interchange the word in the commands, i.e. CREATE DATABASE has the synonym CREATE SCHEMA. MySQL supports multiple databases (schemas) and MS SQL supports multiple databases and multiple schemas.
Can you create one schema per tenant in MySQL?
In fact “create schema” just maps to “create database” on MySQL. So yes, you can do one schema per tenant but that is not any different on MySQL than one database per tenant. So not sure if that is a yes or no. Strictly in terms of MySQL, a Database and a Schema are one and the same.
A shared database, shared schema. Every tenants’ data is in the same tables. If you track orders for example, every tenants’ orders would be located in “dbo.Orders”. Tenants’ data is separated by a column in each table (could be TenantId), that shows the owner of the row. Bonus: you can think of it as living quarters (grossly simplified).
How to share MySQL database with other team members?
You can maintain the database’s schema in your code so it can be committed to source control and accessed by the others. This is a good practice regardless of how you use a test database for the development. Your team members will not be able to easily access your local database.
