So does MySQL follow

standards?

Short answer: Yes!

ANSI SQL 89 92 99 are recent standards

Much like other databases,

we have not yet implemented all features, especially against

99, but we strive to implement them all

we have added other features, MySQL Extensions, to the

standard (e.g. LIMIT)

But we considervendor lock-in unethical!

We want you to use MySQL Extensions consciously, saving

time and effort, but not fool you into thinking all our

extensions are portable
