Difference between different types of SQL? [closed] (6 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

Does the syntax of an SQL software change from program to program? - (Like, in HeidiSQL you define a primary key in one way, in SQL server in other)

Or is it always the same? Because I'm getting syntax errors where my friend says I shouldn't because it worked for him when he was on this stuff, he didn't use heidi though.

Answer 1

Yes, SQL syntax changes between different database providers. See this SO question for more detail: Difference between different types of SQL?

Answer 2

Each database contains differences for each provider you use. I search this site for specifics. Pick one and learn about it and there are really only small differences for each. Good luck finding what you need.
