Try ANSI's electronic standards store: they'll sell you PDFs of ANSI's
printing of the spec at a reasonable price.
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/default.asp
Go to the "search" page and enter "9075" (the IS number for SQL).
Along with the overpriced ISO offerings, there are:
ANSI X3.135-1992 SQL92
ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-n-1999 SQL99, parts 1-5
Each of these is $18 US. You don't really need all five parts of
SQL99; I've seldom found any use for anything but part 2. It is
worth having SQL92, mainly because it's so much more readable
than the 99 spec :-(
