Seth,

Looking around I find the same thing you are seeing. I found a copy of the 
SQL92 spec linked from wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL-92 ) at ( 
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt ) but details on 
either the 1999 or 2003 are limited and it seems you have to buy the standard 
to get them. There was a link to a late draft of 2003 spec at ( 
http://www.wiscorp.com/sql_2003_standard.zip )

I just started mine with what I was using at the time, and kept adding to it 
over time (including things that aren't necessarily keywords) until it had most 
of the stuff I commonly used. I know my list is missing many keywords as well 
which is why I had high hopes for the 8.5 support languages.

I do have an Oracle 9i Complete Reference book that was where I started. I 
didn't copy every keyword from it, just the ones I thought I'd be using at the 
time. Maybe it's time to go back through and compile a more complete list.
