Bennie Schut commented on HIVE-1126: ------------------------------------ John, I noticed schema support is geeing added (HIVE-675) but as far as I can tell there is no such thing as catalog's in hive right? >From what I can tell: MySQL does not understand "schema", you have to use "catalog". Oracle does not understand "catalog", you have to use "schema". So it seems like it's more of a semantics thing. Since the other patch talks about schema's perhaps that's what we should also call it? fyi, I'm currently working on the points you mentioned.
