   <title>Supported Features</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.
