Oracle ? Sticking to _standards_ (they didn't invent themselves) ???

LOL.

Just look at their database and compare their SQL with ANSI SQL (they
are part of the committee). They even claim to be ANSI compatible !
(which of course they are - ANSI SQL 1 - dating back to something
like end of 70s; since then we had SQL 2 and SQL 3)

Sorry for the rant - having to deal with Oracle and ANSI conforming
RDBMS concurrently I'm regularly reminded of the incompatibility and
of course arrogance of this company.

Best,
Michael
