I actually threw that comment in to provoke comment, although I really do believe it... When a vendor only implements part of a standard, I don't think they should be allowed to proclaim standards compliance without a footnote or reservation. In the United States, there were actually laws that prohibited citing ANSI compliance without appropriate footnotes.

As a completely separate issue, I believe that Mimer actually does implement the full SQL-99 standard.
