Yes, you are quite right, I was under impression that they had preseved the entry/intermediate/full level taxonomy in '2003 but instead they use 'Core' and 'outside Core' terminology. Sorry about that.
It is odd though that they consider features that are indispensable for any modern SQL based imlementation as not 'core'. For example,
dynamic SQL
alter table drop column/alter table add constraint/drop constraint
isolation level other than serializable (this one is especially funny !)
derived table ( select * from (select abc from t1) x)
etc... Received on Sat Aug 18 2007 - 21:01:15 CEST
