In relational databases a virtual column is a table column whose value(s) is automatically computed using other columns values, or another deterministic expression. Virtual columns are defined of SQL:2003 as Generated Column, [1] and are only implemented by some DBMSs, like MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Firebird (database server) (COMPUTED BY syntax).
The DROP statement destroys an existing database, table, index, or view. A DROP statement in SQL removes a component from a relational database management system (RDBMS). The types of objects that can be dropped depends on which RDBMS is being used, but most support the dropping of tables , users , and databases .
Just as rows in a base table lack any defined ordering, rows available through a view do not appear with any default sorting. A view is a relational table, and the relational model defines a table as a set of rows. Since sets are not ordered — by definition — neither are the rows of a view.
[1] [2] The interface of an object conforming to this pattern would include functions such as Insert, Update, and Delete, plus properties that correspond more or less directly to the columns in the underlying database table. The active record pattern is an approach to accessing data in a database. A database table or view is wrapped into a class.
Create/alter table: Yes - can create table, alter its definition and data, and add new rows; Some - can only create/alter table definition, not data; Browse table: Yes - can browse table definition and data; Some - can only browse table definition; Multi-server support: Yes - can manage from the same window/session multiple servers
Create, alter, and drop schema objects; Grant and revoke privileges and roles; Analyze information on a table, index, or cluster; Establish auditing options; Add comments to the data dictionary; So Oracle Database DDL commands include the Grant and revoke privileges which is actually part of Data control Language in Microsoft SQL server.
Create new, alter existing databases' name, character set and collation, drop (delete) databases; Tables, views, procedures, triggers and events. View all objects within the selected database, empty, rename and drop (delete) objects; Edit table columns, indexes, and foreign keys. Virtual columns on MariaDB servers are supported.
SQL allows triggers to fire on updates to specific columns; As of version 9.0 of PostgreSQL this feature is also implemented in PostgreSQL. The standard allows the execution of a number of SQL statements other than SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , such as CREATE TABLE as the triggered action.
