Thank you very much. That information is very helpful as I am just starting
to use/learn MySQL.

1). Is there an equivalent to creating a schema in MySQL. I would like
to
create tables in multiple schemas within the same database. Some of the
tables will have foregign keys across schemas.
No, there is no consept of 'schema' in mysql, other than the implicit
'schema' resulting from the existing table definitions in a database.
I'm aware that I can create multiple databases and switch between
databases
using use database name.
Yes, and you can also use multiple databases in the same sql statement,
using the database.table and database.table.column syntax:
select db1.table1.col1,db2.table2.col2
from db1.table1,db2.table2
where db1.table1.id = db2.table2.id
2). How can I edit a statement within mysql. Suppose if I make a
typo in a large select statement, can I go into an editor and fix
it, then execute it from the buffer.
If you have a new version of mysql, see the standard client \e command.
It is mentioned here, but I have not found any further documentation:
URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysql.html
The \e command is not available in earlier versions of mysql, but I did not
find any mention of it in the change history, so I don't know when it
became
available. Somewhere between versions 3.23.30 and 3.23.55.
I normally use a text editor, and then either copypaste my statements
directly into the mysql client, or I execute it from a command line with:
mysql dbname script.sql
(or mysql -h host -u usrname -p dbname script.sql)
