title: Difference Between Schema / Database in MySQL
body: <p>Is there a difference between a schema and a database in MySQL?  In SQL Server, a database is a higher level container in relation to a schema.</p>
  
  <p>I read that <code>Create Schema</code> and <code>Create Database</code> do essentially the same thing in MySQL, which leads me to believe that schemas and databases are different words for the same objects.</p>
