See, this is what I don't get. I thought almost all the different servers (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, ad nauseum) were based on some "standard" called SQL 92 or 94 or something. Granted, I've only had any experience with MySQL, so obviously I'm a little biased. But I would think that if all the different flavors are based on the same general specs, a simple query like "SELECT X FROM Y WHERE Z" would translate pretty similarly across all the platforms.

I guess I'm just misunderstanding exactly what the "SQL 92" specification entails.
