Very interesting read -- and I'm only through section 1. Having used
MySQL for a while some are known to me, many others are new.
One particularly interesting item is Section 1.7, DEFAULT 'now()' as
this is also a PostgreSQL gotcha. See 'nowtest' attached.
Anyway, I noticed a few times the spec has been mentioned as being
broken, ignored or otherwise, but the relevant sections not pointed to.
Would you like a hand in tracing down quotes where spec in these areas?
