Hi,
Sorry, per OOC...
Somebody could tell me where I can find documentation online about SQL2

This the SQL3 approved finally?
That match is between SQL92,SQL96,SQL99 and the SQL2 and SQL3?
Thanks,

Folks,
By now, I imagine a number of people have seen the piece on the
Computer Reseller News website about Great Bridge and PostgreSQL.
While I think we're all happy to see the increased visibility for
PostgreSQL (especially as compared to the Oracles of the world),
it's fair to say the article
So, to sum up ... the article did a good job of representing Great Bridge,
did a great injustice (a slap in the face, so to say) to the PostgreSQL
community as a whole, so Great Bridge has no intention of correcting the
situation?
Just to clarify your position, of course ...

IIRC, this question was asked about 6 months ago, and the answer was RPM

OK, looks like we have a Tru64 problem with 7.1 too. Can you tell us

of NAN in the code. Does NAN exist in one of your /usr/include files?

No, those don't do it. We need an actual NaN value. These are just
flags, I think.
There are two things I found from fp_class.h, FP_SNAN (a signaling NaN),
