I didn't start the thread. I only started answering when the poster was
discouraged by other posters. The topic is recurryng so it made sense to
participate for once.
If IBM were not supporting the SQL Standard I would not be working for
IBM (there is more money to be made as a consultant). My allegiance is
first to the standard and only second to IBM.
But I agree that this thread has run its course and perhaps veered away
from the original topic.
Cheers
Serge
