While proprietary enhancements to the SQL standard are rare, there have
been a few made over time.  One example would be Create Schema with the In
ASP and With Data Dictionary extensions.

I'm not sure how to interpret SQL being the lowest common denominator; but
within the iSeries there are certainly functions available to SQL not
available to other interfaces (which I know some have commented in the past
on) and when looking cross platform iSeries has implemented ANS/ISO SQL
standards such as SQL procedures, functions, and triggers which have not
been implemented (to the best of my knowledge anyway) by Oracle or
Microsoft and only partially implemented by other IBM products.  I don't
see LCD in either scenario.
