Right; there are plenty of places in which PostgreSQL extends the standard. If you're concerned about writing standard-compliant applications, merely removing the places where we have historical syntax variants is probably going to be of little help. I think a better approach would be to introduce the concept of "SQL dialects", similar to "--std=..." in GCC or SQL modes in MySQL 5. That would help people who want to write standard-compliant applications while not inconveniencing those who don't care. -Neil
