If no implementations actually enforce the full standard then it would probably be a waste of money.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Should I be able to use the CAST function in MySQL? Somebody I know is telling me I should, but I keep getting errors whichever way I try it.
Ok. I see what you mean now - edit the source code of MySQL itself. No thanks :-)
I'm going to do what you say and modularize my code - in fact I would anyway, even without this issue.
The specific difficulty I've been having is as follows. When I so a query like
SELECT * FROM TAB01 WHERE...
I don't understand.
Are you saying there IS a way to ensure ANSI standards are enforced or are you saying you can only make the code portable by editing it?
Is it possible to configure mySQL in such a way that it only processes ANSI standard SQL, and produces an error for anything else?
I'd like to do this with a view to ensuring that code is portable to other platforms.
