>I've got an upcoming project that is heavily SQL Server. I know that the SQL commands are "supposed" to be standard, but every vendor has their own extensions. Back in the eighties, I worked with Oracle and Informix, and I know enough that whatever it is I wanted to do in Oracle seemed better suited for the Informix extensions, and vice versa.

Della,

I just asked the same in a thread #564148 and was directed to your thread. Very good information overall. Did you happen to come across anything that documented in a comprehensive way the differences? More of a one-source kind of thing?
