Hi.

I was having a discussion with people at work about the Postgres object-relational syntax.  The question came up:  does
thisfollow an SQL standard?  Or is it rather a Postgres-only feature with different RDBMSs doing it differently? 

I tried some quick checks on Google and Wikipedia but couldn't find clear answers.  There seem to be different SQL
standards(for example SQL 2003, SQL 2008), but from what I can see, these don't cover object-relational syntax.
