Re: SQL Standard

You are heading down a fairly major project - every version put out by every vendor has a different level of compliance.

In Oracle's case, if you want to find out about the deviations from standard, you can look at their SQL Language Reference Manual (not the PL/SQL or SQL*Plus manuals - those are different animals). The manuals are at http://technet.oracle.com under documentation and registration to the site is free.

Also, I turned up quite a good set of references by using Google search and asking for SQL Standard.
