So having a non-conforming database that allows us to write

The insane thing about this whole discussion is that we continue to
defend the one database that does comply with standards. DB2 is the
most ANSI compliant DB out there as far as I know. So in comparing
with a "standard RDBMS" I find myself wondering exactly which one DB2
is supposed to comply with!
Since Oracle doesn't comply with SQL Server which doesn't comply with
MySQL which doesn't comply with ... how could DB2 ever be "standard"
when the person posing the question is asking it from the perspective
of a non-standard DB to begin with!
