We are curious about the ANSI SQL standard. We would like to know
if it would be worthwhile to get the standard or whether it is a
mess and a book would be more helpful. Please email responses.

A friend told me of the existence of some document regarding the standardization of SQL database system by ANSI. Unfortunately, he does not have a complete reference. Could someone e-mail me the complete reference if such a document exists for SQL or some other database. Thanks in advance. Sanjiv Please reply to: sanjiv@fergvax.unl.edu

Hello,
I will appreciate it if any one can give me a direction
to find the ANSI SQL Document. I think it could be
Document ANSI X3.135-1986. New York, 1986.
Thanks

New York, 1986. > The document is ANSI X3.135-1986 or ISO 9075:1987, however you may wish to get the 1989 version which has already been published by ISO (ISO 9075:1989) and will be published shortly by ANSI as replacements for the earlier standards. The ANSI and ISO documents are identical (ISO 9075:1987 == ANSI X3.135-1986 and ISO 9075:1989 == ANSI X3.135-1989). The 89 standard has a new facility called the Integrity Enhancement Feature (referential integrity, defaults and check). The 86 standard is a subset of the 89 standard. This subset, which is conformance levels 1 and 2, is the same. All of these standards are known informally as SQL 1 as compared to future drafts which are referred to as SQL 2 and 3. SQL 1 SQL 86 ANSI X3.135-1986 ISO 9075:1987 level 1 DML & DDL level 2 DML & DDL SQL 89 ANSI X3.135-1989 ISO 9075:1989 level 1 DML & DDL level 2 DML & DDL IEF - new for 89 SQL 2 * Future revisions of SQL SQL 3 * You may also be interested in ANSI X3.168-1989 which makes the embedded languages a standard. The X3.135 included the embedded languages as annexes which were not officially part of the standard. One convenient but not the cheapest source (they accept phone orders charged to credit cards and will ship by overnight) is: Global Engineering 2805 McGaw Ave Irvine, CA 92714 800 854-7179 I have no connection with GE except as a customer. I am a member of the X3H2 SQL and X3H2.1 RDA committees. Hope this helps
