I find that very difficult to believe. Every other SQL database I've worked
with (Microsoft SQL server, MySQL (*NIX), PostgreSQL (*NIX)) and SQL
databases I read about (notably Oracle) all contain some type of proprietary
extensions, the most common be enhanced or additional scalar functions.

Is this to say that DB2 is a reference implementation of the SQL92/SQL99
standard?

At least on the AS/400, SQL has to support the standard collection.table
naming convention and the AS/400-specific library/file convention.

IBM has embraced SQL on our platform as an industry standard.  I do not see
IBM making proprietary enhancements to SQL.  If anything, SQL is a lowest
common denominator statement for the platform,
