the language, and as a result no database claims to support the full breadth of
features. This parser currently supports most of the SQL-92 syntax, plus some
syntax from newer versions that have been explicitly requested, plus some MSSQL-

happily accept changes that conform to the SQL:2016 syntax as well, but that
edition's grammar is not yet available online.)

try to include:

* the relevant bits of the [SQL grammar][sql-2011-grammar], if the syntax is
part of SQL:2011; and
