+   There are two pertinent standards, SQL92 and SQL99. These standards
+   are endorsed by ANSI and ISO. A draft of the SQL92 standard is
+   available at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/. The SQL99
+   standard must be purchased from ANSI at http://www.ansi.org/. The main
+   standards document is ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-2-1999.
