Hi,
	I am about to be moving in to the field of RDBMS systems
	after a long time in operating systems and compilers. 

	Needless to say things have moved on somewhat since I last
	used a decent database. I was hoping that someone out there
	would be able to give me some pointers to some reading
	material regarding the "state-of-the-art" in RDBMS. 

	Also, we are about to buy a copy of the SQL system from QIT (Queensland
	Information Technology in Australia) to run on one of our unix ports.
	Has anyone out there used it and can give me some advice, bug-reports
	etc?.

	As an aside, is there a syntax chart (a la wirth & Pascal) for
	SQL. This would allow me to build a syntax and semantic checking utility
	for any bought in applications. Is SQL a standard (IEEE or ISO)?
	If so, where do I get a copy?

					Thanks for the help,

						treval.

References are the database books by Chris Date (4th edition of Intro to
Databases), Korth and Silberschatz (Database System Concepts), and
Jeff Ullman (Principles of Database Systems).

A draft ANSI SQL standard may be found in a back issue of SIGMOD Record
(ACM) published sometime in 1985.

> Is SQL a standard (IEEE or ISO)?

Document ISO/TC97/SC21/WG3 N117
	 ANSI X#H2-86-26
	 March 1986

Title:   Database Language SQL
Project: 97.21.3.2 SQL

This is not a standard yet (as far as I know) but it is very final and
requires just corrections for ISO editorial guidelines.
