What is difference between DB and schema?
A database is the main container, it contains the data and log files, and all the schemas within it. You always back up a database, it is a discrete unit on its own. Schemas are like folders within a database, and are mainly used to group logical objects together, which leads to ease of setting permissions by schema.

What’s the difference between a database and a schema?
The database is a collection of well-organised and interrelated data. The database includes structure (Schema), data types and constraints of the data to be stored and the data i.e. facts or information about an object in consideration. The data in a database keeps on updating. Hence, the database gets changed frequently.
What’s the difference between a schema and a DML statement?

The formal definition of database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database. These integrity constraints ensure compatibility between parts of the schema. All constraints are expressible in the same language. A database can be considered a structure in realization of the database language. [1]
