Define "all cases" ... also, just how strict do you want to be?
Disallow use of *any* Postgres feature that is not in SQL92 (that
would include all user datatypes and functions, for example)?

Postgres was never designed as an SQL compatibility checker, and
I doubt that it'd be cost-effective to try to turn it into one.
A standalone tool might be a better approach.

Perhaps there is someone out there who wants this feature badly
enough to do the legwork, but I'm not him ;-)
