 Why not SQL:2008?

 Peter?

If the comment was meant to refer to SQL:2003 originally, it should
probably be left that way.  I don't want to get into the game of doing a
global search-and-replace every time a new spec comes out.  If anything,
comments referring to particular spec versions should probably make a
habit of referring to the *oldest* version in which a given feature
exists, not the newest.

regards, tom lane

That was the idea.  I don't care much one way or another, but SQL:200N is 
obviously not very clear.
