Perhaps you should work with databases that have been around longer. Except
for dbase and Foxpro, which are file based, and not RDBMS, the rest are
relatively new. A database in Oracle is a collection of tables, views, etc.
In Oracle, and I think DB2, there is also a concept of owner. Which is a
schema.
You should read the docs because not all databases work the same. (The ones
on your list don't work the same do they? No.)
