your doc states:
SQL stands for (S)tandard (Q)uery (L)anguage
but Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera]
says:
SQL
Structured Query Language (ISO 9075, DB, 4GL)
and The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc] says:
According to Allen G. Taylor, SQL does _not_ stand for
"Structured Query Language". That, like "SEQUEL" (and its
pronunciation /see'kw*l/), was just another unofficial name
for a precursor of SQL. However, the IBM SQL Reference manual
for DB2 and Craig Mullins's "DB2 Developer's Guide" say SQL
_does_ stand for "Structured Query Language".
So I think you have to correct (S)tandard to (S)tructured
