Right, but that wasn't exactly what I was asking.  I'm fairly familiar 
with MySQL but am trying to understand this criticism of it.  Not being 
familiar with other databases I have no reference point.  What are they 
getting at?

Why would you want to do a query of:

SELECT * FROM database.schema.table;


Obviously, this is non-sense in MySQL, where database <==> schema.
