Subject: Suggestion from the ISO meeting in Seattle
Greetings! During the ISO discussions in Seattle last week the following suggestion was made for cases where the standard does not or cannot define precise behavior. > From ISO 9075-1:2008 SQL/Framework: > > * * > > *7.2 Implementation-defined elements* > > Every part of ISO/IEC 9075 contains an Annex that lists every element > of SQL and its processing that is specified > > in that part, and is permitted to differ between SQL-implementations, > but is required to be specified by > > the implementor for each particular SQL-implementation. > > * * > > *7.3 Implementation-dependent elements* > > Every part of ISO/IEC 9075 contains an Annex that lists every element > of SQL and its processing that is mentioned, > > but not specified in that part, and is thus permitted to differ > between SQL-implementations, but is not > > required to be specified by the implementor for any particular > SQL-implementation. This came up in the context of discussions about corrections to ISO 26300. Particularly areas where in retrospect we were not completely precise and to offer more precision now might create incompatibilities with existing implementations. I think it is an interesting suggestion and one that could prove to be useful. Hope everyone is having a great week!
