Re: Some developer FAQ links need updating

Thanks. I have updated it to:

1.12) Where can I get a copy of the SQL standards?

There are two major standards, SQL92 and SQL99. These standards are
endorsed by ANSI and ISO. A draft of the SQL92 standard is available at
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt. A draft of
the SQL99 standard is at
http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/dbms/Data/Papers-Other/SQL1999/ansi-iso-9075-2-1999.pdf.
The draft SQL 2003 standard is at
http://www.wiscorp.com/sql/sql_2003_standard.zip

Some SQL standards web pages are:

* http://troels.arvin.dk/db/rdbms/links/#standards
* http://www.wiscorp.com/SQLStandards.html
* http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql.html#syntax (SQL92)
* http://dbs.uni-leipzig.de/en/lokal/standards.pdf (paper)

Also the Developer FAQ link on the developers page was out of date but
has just been fixed.
