Well that is all true, except that you can't create/drop that kind of=20
stuff database independent. MySQL and Oracle (The ones I know well) have=
=20
different syntax for creating tables, and also droping tables is=20
different since in oracle you have schemas which you don't have in MySQL=
.=20
This functionality is provided with kdedb, what can later on be moved ou=
t=20
of kde db is the actual DB access. I'm pretty sure you can't do this in =

Qt since the database driver interface has no methods for and I know it'=
s=20
database dependent.
