How to Use This Chapter
When researching a command in this chapter:
Read “SQL Platform Support.”
Check the platform support table.
Read the section on the SQL2003 syntax and description, even if you are looking for a specific platform implementation.
Finally, read the specific platform implementation information.
Any common features between the platform implementations of a command are discussed and compared against the SQL2003 section. Thus, the subsection on a platform’s implementation of a particular command may not describe every aspect of that command, since some of its details may be covered in the SQL2003 section. Please note that if there is a keyword that appears in a command’s syntax but not in its keyword description, this is because we chose not to repeat descriptions that appear under the ANSI entry.
