There are two pertinent standards, SQL92 and SQL99. These standards
485+
are endorsed by ANSI and ISO. A draft of the SQL92 standard is
486+
available at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/. The SQL99
487+
standard must be purchased from ANSI at http://www.ansi.org/. The main
488+
standards document is ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-2-1999.
