    Looks good, but it's not exactly what I've had in mind. You see it
    is too often considered that if someone has to justify oneself, he
    is automatically guilty. I want to write an article that would
    make MySQL's developers justify themselves...
    Besides, one has to read the MySQL's article *before* this just to
    understand what's this all about...

    BTW, can I use parts of your answers in my work?

    And, a question to SQL standard gurus: is it necessary for a DBMS
    to implement subqueries and views to be considered entry-level
    SQL92 compliant.
    Besides, is there any document which has all PostgreSQL's
    deviations from standard in one place?
