I would agree that the word "nonstandard" seems to be a little
strong and discouraging. sqlite is a source of joy, a small
bright point of decent and functional software in a world full
of misbehaving crap. While it does omit a few bits of SQL
functionality, I'd call it perhaps a "slightly incomplete
implementation" rather than a "nonstandard variant".
In my experience, it might be better phrased as "non-standard
(but more adherent to standards than Microsoft SQL-Server or
MySQL) variant of SQL". :-)
I mean really...does *any* RDBMS actually adhere to ANSI SQL?
