In 1996, I was using RDB on VAX. The SQL book I was using to help me was a book about SQL92 (not at all about RDB) bought in a small non technical library. Almost all the examples were working perfectly on RDB (and on Microsoft Access). A few years latter, when I had to use Oracle, I was very disappointed to see all the silly differences in syntax.
