The ISO (ISO/IEC 9075:1992, "Information Technology --- Database Languages --- SQL") and ANSI (ANSI X3.135-1992, "Database Language SQL") are both available from ANSI at:

   American National Standards Institute    1430 Broadway
   New York, NY 10018
   USA
   Phone (sales): +1.212.642.4900

Both versions may also be available from:

   Global Engineering Documents
   2805 McGaw Ave
   Irvine, CA 92714
   USA
   +1.714.261.1455

at a higher price but with quicker response.

ISO now has a home page at:

        http://www.iso.ch/welcome.html

The ordering information for the ISO version should be there.

Note that the only differences between the ISO and ANSI versions of the SQL standards is the front matter and some references to other standards. The technical content is identical (it comes from the same source file.)

There is also an amendment/correction to SQL-92. I don't remember the ISO designation at the moment. The ISO amendment applies to both the ANSI and ISO versions of the SQL standard.
