  <title>SQL99 Feature List</title>

  <para>
   <acronym>SQL92</acronym> defined three feature sets for
   compliance: basic, intermediate, and advanced. Most database
   products claiming <acronym>SQL</acronym> standards compliance were
   compliant at only the basic level, since the entire set of
   intermediate and advanced features was either too voluminous or in
   conflict with legacy behaviors.
  </para>

  <para>
   <acronym>SQL99</acronym> defines a large set of individual
   features rather than the ineffectively broad three levels found in
   <acronym>SQL92</acronym>. We provide a list of supported features,
   followed by a list of the features defined in SQL99 which are not
   yet supported in PostgreSQL.
