The adoption of standard SQL is really poor on many SQL products. I mentioned that in the article: > I believe the main reasons are a lack of knowledge and interest among developers along with poor support for modern SQL in database products. However, it IS getting better at the moment. Have you seen the "New SQL" systems that implement window functions? MySQL is finally adding those features and MariaDB picks other features from the standard. There is movement. I'll just keep on making my comparison matrices to make the differences visible. This will (hopefully) increase developers interest, which is basically a market demand. Vendors listen to market demand. evil grin
