Yes, the politics. Avoid being too good, or users wont be able to use the "enterprise" databases you are supposed to sell them one day ;-) I strongly hope we wont take THAT road... You don't need to be "nonstandard" to get ahead of most "enterprise" databases - simple full implementation of SQL99 will do ;) Most of them never got past the entry-level of SQL92, and went their own way from there, ignoring any standards in the intent of locking customers in... Speaking of which, I would really like the SQL99 datatypes, like, yes, BOOLEAN!
