Therein lies the biggest problem of money-hungry commercial vendors refusing to use transportable standards so that they can maintain a vendor lock. Put the blame squarely where it belongs, please, on the SQL "standards" committee that squelches anything that might actually open up competition because it is weighted down with "legacy" requirements by biased committee members (read: employees of the vendors who would lose market share) and simply refuses to migrate to something cross-platform. It's not as if they didn't have the problem and viable solutions in front of them in 1992, 1999, and 2004. Notice a complete lack of a workable solution in the standards? Don't expect this problem to be solved anytime soon. Microsoft, Oracle, DB2 etc don't *want* you to be able to transfer your SQL code cleanly and easily to another vendor! -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
