ElevateDB was developed according to the SQL 2003 standard (ANSI ISO/IEC 9075:2003), and every effort was made to make sure that the product adheres to this standard as much as possible with no deviations. However, there are certain areas where ElevateDB does deviate from the standard. Each type, operator, statement, or function reference in this manual includes a summary of any deviation from the SQL 2003 standard at the end of the reference entitled SQL 2003 Standard Deviations that will detail any deviations from the SQL 2003 standard.
