your doc states: |
| 12 |
SQL stands for (S)tandard (Q)uery (L)anguage |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
but Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera] |
| 15 |
says: |
| 16 |
SQL |
| 17 |
Structured Query Language (ISO 9075, DB, 4GL) |
| 18 |
|

and The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc] says: |

According to Allen G. Taylor, SQL does _not_ stand for |
| 21 |
"Structured Query Language". That, like "SEQUEL" (and its |
| 22 |
pronunciation /see'kw*l/), was just another unofficial name |
| 23 |
for a precursor of SQL. However, the IBM SQL Reference manual |
| 24 |
for DB2 and Craig Mullins's "DB2 Developer's Guide" say SQL |
| 25 |
_does_ stand for "Structured Query Language". |

So I think you have to correct (S)tandard to (S)tructured |
