Updated. I wasn't aware SQL:2003 was ratified.

New text is:

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

There are three major standards: SQL-92, SQL:1999, and SQL:2003.
These standards are endorsed by ANSI and ISO. Draft
versions can be download from:
* SQL-92 http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt
* SQL:1999 http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/dbms/Data/Papers-Other/SQL1999/ansi-iso-9075-2-1999.pdf
* SQL:2003 http://www.wiscorp.com/sql/sql_2003_standard.zip

Some SQL standards web pages are:

* http://www.wiscorp.com/SQLStandards.html
* http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql.html#syntax (SQL-92)
* http://dbs.uni-leipzig.de/en/lokal/standards.pdf (paper)
