The "S" in SQL stands/stood for "Structured".  However, SQL has been 
standardized about 3 times, roughly the same number of times UNIX has been 
standardized.  However, like UNIX, each implementation has many, many 
extensions that the uninformed or undisciplined commonly use.  Also like UNIX, 
in places where the standard has undefined or implementation-defined behavior 
each implementation generally has consistent and predictable behavior that 
even disciplined, experienced users may end up expecting from an alternative 
implementation.

In short, most SQL you will find is not strictly-conforming, just like most 
shell scripts and C/C++ programs.
