A variety B is called solutionally complete if any system of algebraic equations over an algebra A in B has a solution in A provided it is solvable in B and has at most one solution in any extension of A in B. B is called solutionally compatible if every solvable system of equations over an algebra in B is also solvable over any extension of that algebra. It is shown that solutional compatibility is equivalent with the amalgamation property and that a weaker form of the strong amalgamation property is sufficient but not necessary for equational completeness.
