Huh? The on-line docs cover more that just SQL. In particular the question
being discussed had to do with log file formating.
Also I don't know what is exactly in SQL92 but I don't think Postgres fully
implements it yet. For example I presume that SQL92 includes outer joins,
Postgres does not (yet). At some point it will. It would be a bad idea to
assume that SQL92 complient code documented in say v8.0 would work on a 7.0
database.
