Depends on how you measure compliance.    For example, FrontBase only
implements about 65% of the standard, but what it does implement is 100%
compliant.   So, does one call them 65% or 100% compliant?  Or what?

However, by *whatever* measure, we are more compliant than MSSQL, Oracle,
Informix, or MySQL.
