Looks good, but it's not exactly what I've had in mind. You see it
is too often considered that if someone has to justify oneself, he
is automatically guilty. I want to write an article that would
make MySQL's developers justify themselves...
Besides, one has to read the MySQL's article *before* this just to
understand what's this all about...

BTW, can I use parts of your answers in my work?

And, a question to SQL standard gurus: is it necessary for a DBMS
to implement subqueries and views to be considered entry-level
SQL92 compliant.
Besides, is there any document which has all PostgreSQL's
deviations from standard in one place?
