SQL3

A draft {standard} for another

extension of {SQL}. The latest SQL3 Working Draft addresses

the requirement for {object}s and "object identifiers" in SQL

and also specifies supporting features such as

{encapsulation}, {subtype}s, {inheritance}, and

{polymorphism}.

In the USA, SQL3 is being processed as both an {ANSI} Domestic

("D") project and as an {ISO} project. It is expected to be

complete in 1998.
