I attended a session at COMMON that, among other things, also pointed
out that DB2 was closer to the ANSI standard than other vendors. (In
the interest of full disclosure, the session was presented by an IBMer
whose name escapes me.)
Anyway, I commented at the time that this, in my opinion, made SQL
Server and Oracle proprietary and DB2, relatively speaking, the open
system. (The speaker just smiled.) But, whenever my colleagues on the
Dark Side talk about the "AS/400" (they don't even know the right terms)
being legacy, proprietary, etc., I point this fact out to them. Doesn't
win me any friends or converts, but I like rubbing their collective
noses in it.

Just as an FYI,
But my experience is that I can always use an System i SQL statement on SQL server or Oracle.
But not the other way around. DB2 Sticks pretty dang close to the standards. MS and Oracle have
added a bunch of non-standard syntax.
