A few resources I found from https://www.google.com/search?q=sql+standard :

   - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL
   -
   https://blog.ansi.org/2018/10/sql-standard-iso-iec-9075-2016-ansi-x3-135/#gref
   - https://dev.to/0xcrypto/who-owns-the-sql-standard-76m
   - https://modern-sql.com/standard
   - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/intro002.htm

It seems to me like the last ANSI standard was published in 2016.

It sound to me like implementors would generally implement a ``common SQL
subset'' or ``common subset of the ANSI SQL standard''.

My (US) $0.02 worth.
