DBMS's are not languages, they are implementations.
Might not be a good idea, Dave, to take MS products as examples of what accepted standards are. MS has a long history of lack of respect for established standards.
I suspect MySQL is more ANSI compliant than MS SQL Server.

This entire discussion is somewhat pointless in the face of reality. Sure it would be nice if every DB vendor had the exact same syntax, but that is not the case. They all differ enough so that anything more than basic SQL will not migrate. Accept it, deal with it, and RTFM to learn how to use SQL in each implementation.
