I would appreciate your help. Reading a technical article today, I came across a casual reference to "Standard SQL" as if it was a well-known thing. This worried me since I've never heard the term and I'm meant to know about such things.
It doesn't seem to refer to the official standard for SQL, which is huge and contains a plethora of features implemented once or never. The author seemed to think it was a sort of 'core SQL' – features identically implemented by all, or most, of the well-known SQL engines. The one possibility I can think of is SQL:1999. This is the first version which has features marked as 'mandatory' or 'optional'. A full implementation of all mandatory features could, I suppose, be called "Standard SQL", but I've never heard of that term being used for that. Have any of you been using this term for a meaning other than "Fully conforming to SQL:2019 (or whatever version you think current) ? Do you have documentation somewhere ? Or are my suspicions correct and there's no such thing ? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
