I know, but it’s more fun to pretend there is a difference. I see I’ve converted you to Postgres, too! Karma++ for me, right?

Baron, you’re using a schema. You can call it a database, if you like.

mysql> create schema postgres;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> use postgres;
Database changed
mysql> select version();
+—————————+
| version() |
+—————————+
| 5.0.88-valgrind-max-debug |
+—————————+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Now it shouldn’t be too difficult to write a mysql storage engine that embeds a postgresql client to expose a remote postgresql table within mysql. Could be useful. For something.
