Oh, how did I forget Oracle?
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/23/sqlrf/CREATE-SCHEMA.html
Theirs is restricted to CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, and GRANT; also
this curious restriction: "The CREATE SCHEMA statement supports the
syntax of these statements only as defined by standard SQL, rather
than the complete syntax supported by Oracle Database."
But then they say:
"The order in which you list the CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, and GRANT
statements is unimportant. The statements within a CREATE SCHEMA
statement can reference existing objects or objects you create in
other statements within the same CREATE SCHEMA statement."
Which certainly begs the question of how smart their re-ordering
algorithm is, or what they do about ambiguity between new and existing
objects. But at any rate, it looks like everybody is at least trying
to do some amount of re-ordering, which makes me wonder what it is
that I'm missing in the spec. That's an awful lot of effort to be
expending on something that the spec doesn't seem to require.
