Why varying functionality across php db apis for db metadata?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For example, php mysql library supports list_dbs and list_tables commands as
well as getting table metadata. MySQL sql also 'natively' supports these
commands (show databases, show tables, describe <tableName>).

Why not similar commands for Oracle, SQLServer, etc.? These are simply
selects against certain system tables, no?
