FYI: A specification for Minimal SQL

[Len Gallagher <LGallagher@nist.gov>]

Regrepers,

We may or may not decide to use a very limited form of SQL as a potential
interface to the Registry/Repository specification, or as a definitional
mechanism for XML-specific queries.

If we decide to do that - the attached is a fairly well accepted specification
of Minimal SQL that supports SQL operations on a single table, with no
joins and
no subqueries, and with severe limitations on derived columns and set
functions.
