Hello MySQL, I am re-sending this message as it seems like the one I send the 20th did not go through. I have now read a larger part about the possibly SQL 2003 standard, and am convinced this will really be of importance for the future of MySQL as well. The standard is not just ANSI, but ISO as well. I know as of the previous standard, it was not enforced as they stopped conformance testing in 1996. Thus there where no reason for confirming to the -99 standard (which no one does). However, if this standard is being enforced among larger companies, or governments, then it would be important to get certificated. ---
I send one message earlier questioning whether SQL really was not a standard anymore. According to the documents I could find on the issue, SQL is not truly a standard anymore, but may become one again.

This is currently in final committee dated 08/15/2002, that can be found at http://www.wiscorp.com/SQLStandards.html.
