the idea is to have the parser understand standard SQL (SQL92/SQL99),
and that's all.

I don't know if we could also add this kind of commands to our XML
queries DTD. But as a starting point, standard SQL would be ok, since
what we want is just to be able to parse SQL in non-SQL providers
(XML-based one, LDAP, etc), and also to be able to send *standard*
commands to all providers.
