- aerzen 4y agoWell, it's not portable, but you don't have to learn a new language every time you encounter a new DBMS (unlike MongoDB or InfluxDB).
- db65edfc7996 4y agoMaybe if SQL was a better language at the start, there would be more incentive to follow the spec.
- throwawayboise 4y agoSQL is an amazingly good language for what it does. It has been with us coming up on 5 decades.
- lijogdfljk 4y agoMinus everyone having different versions of it to facilitate the missing functionality/needs of users
- zasdffaa 4y agoIIRC there was am ANSI/FIPS standard which was dropped under the bill clinton's administration, which is when things started to diverge. (Info from memory, may be wrong or a bit mangled)
