Re: Propose we remove SQL-92 as a capability



  In the previous post, I misinterpret (3) from the original post to
mean "keep SQL-MIN as an exact named subset defined in the SQL-92
standard"

  Obviously it's SQL (-92) and not SQL-MIN that is defined in the SQL-92
standard. 

Therefore instead of the following:

I should have written:

  Basic functionalities a calendar server should should not be
removed, just to maintain a syntactic compatibility with SQL. If the 
terminology "SQL-MIN" is confusing, then why not use another 
name (e.g, CQL-MIN).
