Hello,

I was reading through the feature list for release 5.2.0 and I came across a like

schema driven databases like Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL.

As per my limited knowledge all databases are dependent on Schema. My understanding is that Schema is the database structure.

What exactly are schema driven databases?

TIA

Have a look at

https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/database-schema#:~:text=A%20database%20schema%20defines%20how%20data%20is%20organized,data%20types%2C%20and%20the%20relationships%20between%20these%20entities.

Well in that case we mean databases that uses schema’s as kind of sub databases or namespace division of the tables.

Currently those are just Microsoft SQL Server and Postgres. There you can organize your tables with extra namespaces called schemas.
