    Footnotes:    [1] N/A means that the term is not applicable or not used
                      with the listed product, standard, or system.

                  [2] SQL:2003 is the industry standard.

                  [3] The ANSI/ISO SQL:2003 Standard defines this term in a
               slightly different way than does the SQL interface of Oracle
        Rdb.
