Andrej,

I just tired FrontBase that tries really hard to be SQL-92 compliant:

test@localhost#6> create table a ( a int );
test@localhost#7> insert into a values ( 1);
test@localhost#8> insert into a values ( 2);
test@localhost#9> update a set a.a = 2;
> Syntax error 174. Expected '=' not found.
> Syntax error 023. Expected <factor> not found.
> Syntax error 108. Expected ';' not found.
> Exception 363. Transaction rollback.
test@localhost#10> update a set a = 2;
test@localhost#11>

Personally I only dislike // but at least there is no confusion for a
script that creates multiple procedures / triggers , the rest is acceptable
for me.

Hey, don't exaggerate - when have you last checked the prices for this db
league?

Theoretically you could create a patch...

Last but not least. What is your porting effort? Maybe we could help.
