Dialect differences

| Property | in MariaDB | in TXT |
|---|---|---|
| port | 3306 | — |
| identifiers | `backtick` | None by convention |
| row limit | LIMIT n | — |
| dates | DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, DATE, TIME | Whatever the writer produced; no convention is guaranteed |
| long text | TINYTEXT / TEXT / MEDIUMTEXT / LONGTEXT | — |
| binary | BLOB / TINYBLOB / LONGBLOB | Not supported |
| separator | — | Whatever was chosen - often fixed column widths |
| encoding | — | No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM |
| typing | — | None - every field is text |
| shape | Tables of rows and columns | Free form; a parser has to be told the layout |
