Try ANSI's electronic standards store: they'll sell you PDFs of ANSI's
printing of the spec at a reasonable price.

http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/default.asp

Go to the "search" page and enter "9075" (the IS number for SQL).
Along with the overpriced ISO offerings, there are:

ANSI X3.135-1992        SQL92

ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-n-1999    SQL99, parts 1-5

Each of these is $18 US.  You don't really need all five parts of
SQL99; I've seldom found any use for anything but part 2.  It is
worth having SQL92, mainly because it's so much more readable
than the 99 spec :-(
