Greg,

As Paul Franks has said, all Borland (Inprise) products will give you
the same local SQL (which is a very limited subset of SQL92). If you
want more, you would have to setup your data in a proper client/server
database like InterBase, for example. This will give you a much wider
selection of SQL92, including all the commands you mention (I believe).
A local InterBase package is included with most Borland products
nowadays I believe. InterBase is known for its small footprint, ease of
use, reliability and multi-generation (I think that's what they call it)
architecture that allows a backup to be down _while_ users are using the
database.

As a point of interest - no database product in the world has
implemented 100% of SQL92. Oracle, DB2, Informix, InterBase, etc. are
all subsets of varying degrees. They all have their own extensions, too,
especially for things like Stored Procedures.
