I agree. And for Entry level SQL'92 we are done -- only tables, views and grants are required. The multiple schemas per user is already an intermediate SQL feature -- for intermediate SQL'92 we would still need domains and a character set specification. For SQL'99, we would have to add types, functions and triggers (only triggers are not part of Core SQL'99, but I would not leave them out).
