Pardon ?

if ANSI SQL standard is not documenting an RDBMS, what is then relational ?

Where can I get more information about FireBird, SAP db ? What is the main differences between Oracle, MySQL and PostGres ?

I sometimes believe that MySQL has to be combined with another Language, in order to be an RDBMS,
