The Rosetta Stone of Database Platforms

This is a living document that I will continue to update and will add new database platforms to as I go along in my career.  I spend a lot of time translating database platforms I’ve worked in for all tiers of the technical business.  It just seems natural that we might need a location on the web where that information is kept.

I’ll add some diagrams at a later date, but we’ll start with a simple spreadsheet of common terms and questions and how each of the terms or tasks in Oracle, (the current #1 RDBMS) translates in other platforms.  If there isn’t a similar term or task, I’ve marked not applicable, (N/A).  If you have any additions or suggestions on how to improve the list, please feel free to comment or email me at DBAKevlar at Gmail.

As I’m still working on the best viewable format, keep in mind, you can export the table into a number of formats or even print it!

Thanks!
