SQL Function Reference:Oracle vs.SQL Server vs. My SQL Part- I

Generally the major issue we face while development is the availability of common functions in different database(s).

I am facing this issue from last so many years. Then I had start preparing a table for common functions of different database(s).

The commonly used databases are Oracle, Sql Server and My Sql. Their is so many other database(s) are also available but commonly I works on these database(s) only.

Following is the common list of functions in different database(s):-

Oracle - ABS
SQL Server - ABS
My Sql - ABS

Function - Arc cosine
Oracle - ACOS
SQL Server - ACOS
My Sql - ACOS

How to get tables names in MySql (sysobjects in sql server)

In Sql server we have a table sysobjects which holds names of all the tables i.e. system and user tables.

Like the same we have command “Show tables” which show all the tables of specified database.

Syntax
Show Tables from <databasename>

Here is an example.
SHOW TABLES FROM MySql

If you had already select a database you can only use
Show tables to show all the tables in the database. For ex. Select database MySql and in Sql command window enter following text

SHOW TABLES

And click on Run.

It will show all the tables which is avalible in the list
