What is SQL acc. to you? MS-SQL, MySQL, SQLITE, Bigquery “Standard SQL”?
- bradleyjg 5y agoStandards published by ISO/IEC.
- yunohn 5y agoSure, but where is that pure standard implemented?
- bradleyjg 5y agoWhy does it need to be implemented somewhere?
- yunohn 5y agoWhat do you mean? If the ISO SQL is not implemented by any SQL DB, and you denounce PostgreSQL/etc version of SQL - what is left over?
- bradleyjg 5y agoI’m not denouncing PostgreSQL. There’s things that are appropriate for a standard and other, sometimes far less elegant, things that are appropriate for a concrete implementation. The linked article propose a change to the standard. If it had only proposed a non-standard vendor extension for some or other database we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
