No database implements ANSI SQL 99 so why do you want to learn it?

Each database vendor has a layer of ANSI SQL compliance upon which they have layered their own proprietary extensions. The amount of ANSI compliance always meets the necessary minimum for marketing purposes. After that they are all very very different. I'd suggest picking one implementation, such as Oracle's, and learning that.
