Database Plugin - Alert vs. Log

Can anyone tell me if there are any differences between sending "alert" data
to a MySQL database vs. sending only "log" data to a MySQL database?  

  output database: log, Mysql,  ...  
  output database: alert, Mysql,  ...  

That is, do either of these configurations record different data in the
database or do they both generate the same data?
