The SQL standard: Where does it come from? Where does it go?

on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

Participation requires join via national body (ANSI, DIN etc), monthly Zoom WG3 meetings and uploading a paper to the content system; SQL reaches DIS ballot with a 12‑week comment period and a new ISO draft targets early 2023. Recent accepted items include any_value aggregate, a formal JSON type and unique‑null semantics; active projects add property‑graph support (PGQ) and a separate GQL language. Changes are adopted by paper, discussed in meetings, then integrated by the editor.
