Difference of Character and charset

Question

I’m picking up a few things in SQL, and sometimes I come across CHARSET and CHARACTER

For example:

create database teste 
default character set utf8;

And now, creating a table:

create table teste (
   teste varchar(30)
) DEFAULT CHARSET utf8;

Will you please explain?

Answer 1

The first has two words, the second has only one :)

Seriously there is no semantic difference, only syntactic.
