I want to teach them the concepts: relations, views, relationnal algebra,
aggregation and so on, and how to build a resonnable schema from a
real-world problem.

I do not consider whether the comparison is == or = as a key issue.

Moreover, there are many SQL flavors around, so whatever the detailed
syntax I learn them, it won't be the one they will have to face if the
database they use is different. So why bother?

That's just my view.
