Yep. Actually changes wouldn't be so big, and Oracle even
downplays the differences, but has yet to come with a conformance plan.

As someone else has put, SQL standardisation ain't going nowhere.
But I'd prefer to side with lesser sinners.
That said, DB2 has better compliance AFAICU, and even in
non-conformance it's saner. And PostgreSQL, a current underdog but
improving dramatically, has stated the intention of complying.
Free software may be the dark horse saving ISO SQL. Or
competitive pressure from MS, which has been inserting MSDE (which
underlies also MS SQL Server too) into more and more products, like AD and
SharePoint, and eventually MS Windows future filesystem. Perhaps IBM, if
it can get its act together. We'll see.
