Abstract

The SQL (structured query language) Access Group, an open industry consortium that includes many major SQL database vendors and a number of database tool developers, is developing a common embedded SQL language interface for client-server interoperability in OSI (open systems interconnection) environments. This specification covers most of the features in the current ANSI/ISO SQL standard, includes some new features from the proposed SQL2 standard, and maintains upward compatibility with X/Open applications. As part of this development process, SQL Access has seen the need for enhancements to SQL for remote access and has contributed to the ANSI and ISO standardization efforts. X/Open is a member of the SQL Access Group and enjoys an excellent working relationship in extending the X-Open specification to include SQL Access Group requirements.<>
