I have a reference table for the MySQL, Postgres, and DB2 data types in the
current schema on the wiki:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:IBM_DB2#SQL_data_types

It's somewhat hard to predict what the important differences in SQL syntax
would be. Is there anything specific that comes to mind? If not, I can just
write MySQL/DB2 differences up as I encounter them

Would it be useful to link to the reference documentation for things like
CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, ALTER COLUMN, etc in the short term?
