John,

The sad thing about SQL is that no one - and I mean no one - has a 100%
complete implementation of the language. Not Oracle. Not Microsoft. Not
Informix. Not Sybase. Not even IBM - and they invented it!

This means that most commands work in most cases, but not always. There
are specific extensions made by each vendor, including, for instance,
the Stored Procedures you see in InterBase.

Local SQL in dBASE is a very small subset of the defined language. It is
much smaller than the portion of SQL available to you if you use
InterBase or any other RDBMS like those mentioned above.

The suggestions provided by others in this thread are excellent and the
way to go.
