Looking at the web site:

SQL:2003 Documents New!!!
This set of files represents an almost indistinuishable delta on the
actual SQL 2003 standard. In a few months, the INCITS website will post
the SQL 2003 standard for purchase

is this the same as what we talk about as SQL3??

Hello Marc,

It is a new SQL standard soon to be released, and it seems to be an
important standard this time, unlike those from 95 and 99. Knowing
PostgreSQL is the database best conforming to the SQL standards, I
assume you already are aware of this new ISO/ANSI SQL standard,
anyway, you might be interested in downloading the latest draft from
http://www.wiscorp.com/SQLStandards.html.

If you already had the draft, please ignore my e-mail.

No, I think people have been calling it SQL 200X. SQL3 was a precursor
to the SQL99 spec, IIRC.
