I think compablity with MySQL here is an even or a more valid/important concern here than standards' compliance. This is actually a minor issue with standards in MySQL ( + derivates ) as compared to lots of other non-compliances IMO. If standards should decide there would never have been MySQL!
I’m with Peter here - maybe one should also file a bug with MySQL to find out why they have done so before it is removed in MariaDB Server 10.2 ? -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi
