Hmmm. I don't buy that they are an a priori Good Thing. What are they
good for? I can't think of a single occasion in my 12-year database
career where I found myself wanting one.
Seems to me that, SQL standard or not, nested tables are just a jumbo-sized
foot gun for new DBAs. And it's not like they'll be trivial to implement.
