Problem
There used to be a public link to the JTC 1/SC 32 working drafts of 9075:2003, but the link I had has not worked since they started on the post-2003 revisions. Given that there are publicly available copies of many of their other specifications (11179-1:2004, for example), I'm wondering if any one knows of any ways to legally get access to the ISO/IEC 9075 specifications. Perhaps there is a link to the working drafts, or a Foundation that provides access to it for something less than the roughly $3000 USD it would cost me to learn SQL from the standards body instead of relying on implementation-specific books and documentation.
Solution
Here they are:
But I'd rather read read a book:
- SQL:2008 draft
- ISO/IEC 9075:1992 2nd Draft
But I'd rather read read a book:
- SQL-99 Complete, Really
- Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties
