Exactly. I'm not sure what the point of your follow-on post was though. I think I clearly showed that Sybase ASE and SQL Server 2000 both behave as I originally posted and the above documentation simply documents how the systems perform. Soooooooooooo, I'm not sure what your point was/is? Was it to show that SQL Server and Sybase ASE are not in line with SQL-92? Sybase has been around way before SQL-92.
