SQL Standards

  • Hi All,

    I searched on google and came to know about the list of SQL standards.

    SQL-86

    SQL-89

    SQL-92

    SQL-1999

    SQL-2003

    SQL-2008

    I see the word called 'Backward-Compatible' & 'Forward-Compatible'. I don't understand what they are mentioning here. which one is 'Forward' and which one is 'Backward'?

    does SQL 2005 & 2008 supports SQL-1999 standard?

  • You might want to continue your good use of GOOGLE to search for those two terms. For example, you get some really great hits if you search for "backward compatible" in Google. Anything that I would write here would be a simple regurgitation of what those hits say.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
