Hi Nuno,
SQL99 came out prior to Oracle 9i and thus prior to a lot of Oracle's OO functions,
last I heard. SQL99 was finalized in the timeframe when DB2 V5.2 came out (three
years ago) with it's OO extentions. I don't remember when Orcale 8i shipped, but I
doubt it was earlier than that.
With dominating I mean number of accepted standards proposals. This means that IBM
either cares more and/or brings more acceptable proposals forward.
That the standard looks a lot like DB2's SQL Ref is a function of standard's work
in parallel to development or at least educated extentions by DB2 that have a fat
chance of being standardized in futere versions of SQL.
Cheers
Serge
