It's worth considering, but on the other hand Oracle users greatly
outnumber Compaq/RDB users these days...

If there's no SQL92 guidance for implementing a feature, I'm pretty much in
favor of tracking Oracle, whose SQL dialect is rapidly becoming a
de-facto standard. 

I'm not saying I like the fact, Oracle's a pain in the ass.  But when
adopting existing syntax, might as well adopt that of the crushing
borg.
