Xuefu Zhang commented on FLINK-13206: ------------------------------------- Actually no. {{Catalog}} is the parent and so an aggregation of databases (as evident from {{Catalog.listDatabases()}}). A database is equivalent of SQL schema, which is a container of actually meta objects such as tables, views, and functions. DDL "use database" is to switch current database in the a catalog.
