# Databases

> Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB and Oracle – which types these scan modules create and how their detail pages are structured.

Three scan modules capture databases. *Microsoft SQL Server* and *MySQL Server* split
server and database into separate assets; Oracle does not — there the
database is the asset, with cluster and storage structure hanging off it.

<Note>
  All three scans carry the column *Capture Object Details* per target,
  switched off by default — see the [Scan Reference](/docs/en/scan/reference).
</Note>

## Microsoft SQL Server

Two types: the *SQL Server Instance* and the individual *SQL Server Database*.

| Type | Group | Areas |
| - | - | - |
| SQL Server Instance | Security | Logins, Authentication, Server Roles |
| SQL Server Instance | Management | Maintenance Plans, Jobs |
| SQL Server Database | Database Details | Files, Tables, Views |
| SQL Server Database | Programmability | Stored Procedures, Functions |
| SQL Server Database | Security | Schemas, Roles, Users |

## MySQL and MariaDB

One module, four types: a server and a database type each for MySQL and for
MariaDB, in parallel — all four additionally with an empty *General* group;
the data sits in the second group, *Database Details*.

| Type | Areas |
| - | - |
| MySQL Server | Users, Engines, Plugins, Databases |
| MySQL Database | Tables, Views, Events, Routines, Triggers |
| MariaDB Server | Users, **Roles**, Engines, Plugins, Databases |
| MariaDB Database | Tables, Views, Events, Routines, Triggers, **Sequences** |

MariaDB carries two additional areas compared with MySQL: *Roles* on the
server, *Sequences* on the database.

## Oracle Database

One type with five groups:

| Group | Areas |
| - | - |
| General | Overview, Schemas |
| Cluster | Instances, Cluster Nodes, SCAN Listeners, Listeners, Services, Pluggable Databases |
| Storage | Tablespaces, Control Files, Redo Log Groups |
| Operations | Backup Jobs, Components, Patches, Init Parameters, Data Guard Configurations |
| Security | Roles, Profiles, Audit Policies, Network ACLs, Directories |
