Other sections in this manual explain more about SQL and solidDB® -specific features. However, this manual is neither a complete tutorial nor a comprehensive reference on SQL. You may wish to acquire additional documents on SQL.
There are many books on SQL. These books are not specific to solidDB®'s implementation of SQL; most of the material is generic and will apply to any database server, such as solidDB®'s, that conforms to the ANSI standards. General SQL books include:
▪Introduction to SQL: Mastering the Relational Database Language, by Rick van der Lans, published by Addison-Wesley.
ANSI standards on SQL include:
▪Database Language - SQL with Integrity Enhancement, ANSI, 1989 ANSI X3.135-1989.
▪Database Language - SQL: ANSI X3H2 and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC21/WG3 9075:1992 (SQL-92).

ISO (International Standards Organization) also has standards for SQL. See http://www.iso.org for more information.
