连接到同一 DBMS 上的“外部”数据库

Question

看到 JDBC 允许我透明地从同一 DBMS 上的“外部”数据库中的表中选择表，我感到有些惊讶，我对此具有必要的权限，而无需显式连接到外部数据库。这是 MySQL 应该有的样子，还是只是 JDBC 的怪癖？

详情：
我在我的 DBMS 上创建了两个数据库：stkovrflo_1 和 stkovrflo_2。我从MySQL World database. 填充了这些数据库中的表

CREATE TABLE stkovrflo_1.Country
SELECT name, region FROM world.Country;

CREATE TABLE stkovrflo_2.City
SELECT world.City.name, world.Country.name AS country
FROM world.City INNER JOIN world.Country ON world.City.CountryCode = world.Country.code;

在 JDBC 中，我可以通过与 stkovrflo_1 数据库的连接来选择 stkovrflo_2.City 表的条目。我对这两个数据库都有 SELECT 访问权限。

这是我的 JDBC 代码：

import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCExample {
    static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";  
    static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/stkovrflo_1";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        
        String uid = args[0];
        String pswd = args[1];
        
        if(pswd.toUpperCase().equals("NULL"))
            pswd = null;

        Connection conn = null;
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,uid,pswd);
        
        processTableSameDB(conn);
        System.out.println("\n\n");
        processTableDifferentDB(conn);
        
        if(conn != null)
            conn.close();
    }

    protected static void processTableSameDB(Connection conn) throws Exception {
        Statement stmt = null;
        String tableName = "Country";

        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

            System.out.println("Retrieving from table in same database...");

            stmt = conn.createStatement();
            String sql;
            sql = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + " LIMIT 10";
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

            while(rs.next()){
                String name = rs.getString("name");
                String region = rs.getString("region");

                System.out.print("Name: " + name);
                System.out.println(", Region: " + region);
            }
            rs.close();
        }
        catch(SQLException se){
            se.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally{
            if(stmt!=null)
                stmt.close();
        }
    }

    protected static void processTableDifferentDB(Connection conn) throws Exception {
        Statement stmt = null;
        String tableName = "stkovrflo_2.City";

        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

            System.out.println("Retrieving from table in different database...");

            stmt = conn.createStatement();
            String sql;
            sql = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + " LIMIT 10";
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

            while(rs.next()){
                String name = rs.getString("name");
                String country = rs.getString("Country");

                System.out.print("Name: " + name);
                System.out.println(", Country: " + country);
            }
            rs.close();
        }
        catch(SQLException se){
            se.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally{
            if(stmt!=null)
                stmt.close();
        }
    }
}  

JDBC输出如下：

这是正常的。只要数据库位于同一个 MySQL 实例上并且您对该数据库具有权限，那么您的“默认”数据库并不重要。您可以引用任何databasename.tablename。

默认数据库类似于 shell 中的当前工作目录 (cwd)。您始终可以通过提供路径来引用另一个目录中的文件。
