I am sorry to have to repost this, but MDC suffered a mail outage and I am not
sure what I lost.

Does anyone know how to get a copy of the latest ANSI SQL draft? Also, if
anyone knows how to get in touch with ANSI directly (i.e. e-mail, address,
phone#), I would greatly appreciate the information.
Thanks in advance.

Of related interest: The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains a validation test suite to test adherence to the ANSI standard. ShareBase is the ONLY company to have passed the NIST test suite. (Passing the test suite gives you some confidence that someone other than the vendor's marketing department thinks that their SQL is indeed ANSI conforming.) Without true ASNI standard implementations of SQL much of the promised advantages of open systems and transportability will not be achieved.
