3.1 How to Use This ChapterWhen researching a command in this chapter: Read Section 3.2. Check the platform support table. Read the section on SQL2003 syntax and description even if you are looking for a specific platform implementation. Finally, read the specific platform implementation information. Any common features between the platform implementations of a command are discussed and compared against the SQL2003 topic. Thus, the subsection on a platform's implementation of a particular command may not describe every aspect of that command, since some of its details may be covered in the SQL2003 section. Please note that if there is a keyword that appears in a command syntax but not in its keyword description, this is because we chose not to repeat descriptions that appear under the ANSI entry.
