Its not a rave review or anything like that, but its nice that we're
recognized as finding standards compliance a priority :)

Not really.
If you're looking for free/open source, your primary choices are probably:
MySQL - http://www.tcx.se/
MiniSQL - http://www.hughes.com.au/
PostgreSQL - http://www.postgresql.org/
Not one of them yet cover the entire ANSI spec, but if standards compliance
is a priority, PostgreSQL is probably your best bet. It's also the only one
of the three completely unencumbered by a quasi-commercial licence.
