: I'd be careful lumping DB languages together, or even SQL variants. DB2 code entirely directly compatible with MSSQL, which isn't entirely compatible with MySQL, etc. Also, there's a relationship with declarative languages in there that I haven't quite figured out yet. Some languages support the same basic query concepts, but use ''very'' different syntax. (The last time I played with Access, for example, the queries reminded me of bangpaths.)
: Most of it (DB2 vs MSSQL vs MySQL, for example) could be handled with liberal application of the workswith template, but better tracking of support might require something akin to the Library template. Also, the stored procedure languages are a different beast, entirely. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
