Leandro,

You said:

"But I have to admit I haven't followed up much since ISO SQL:1999, since I dislike the general direction of ISO SQL away from its relational roots."

You are one schizo dude. Now you don't like the ISO SQL either? You were complaining that Oracle was not ISO compliant and now you are saying you don't like the ISO SQL?  

Seems to me you can't have it both ways! :)

Tom

        I stand correct. I was in error for thinking in the 'popular',

but wrong way, that when people refer to ANSI SQL they are usually

thinking pre-ISO SQL:1999.

        Would you take two? IBM DB2 and PostgreSQL.

        Oracle has great coverage of the standards, but even in SQL

ISO:1999 it deviated too much in the core. Things like DATE type, CONNECT

BY, PL/SQL vs SQL/PSM.

        Yep, great point. But I have to admit I haven't followed up much

since ISO SQL:1999, since I dislike the general direction of ISO SQL away

from its relational roots.
