You are referring (no doubt) to the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard.
The papers are $18 each from ANSI in pdf format (or they were when I bought them some time ago).
There are draft versions scattered about on the internet for free.

I asked this question a while back and I got an answer but I lost it.
Where can I get a copy of the SQL specification that PostgreSQL follows? Who ever answered, as I recall said it was not free if that is any help.
