    This doesn't surprise me too much. From what I have heard about
Oracle, their version of SQL is pretty radical from the standard, which
is what DAL is based on. I don't fully know what this means, because I
don't really know SQL, but it seems similar to all the different
versions of BASIC that have existed over the years.
