Do you know of any place I can look up Oracle's syntax? Or if not, could
I send you a (small) regression test for joins and have you translate
that to Oracle's syntax?
This brings up a question: I would guess that Oracle claims to conform
to SQL92 (or to be compliant, or to be an extended subset, or ??). afaik
this means for many companies that they conform to the "Entry Level"
part of SQL92. What are Oracle's claims on the subject? I'd like to know
where we stand on this relative to them; I've claimed that we are an
"extended subset" but perhaps we are closer than we think...
