5. MySQL 8.0: One Giant Leap for SQL
“This is a landmark release as MySQL
eventually evolved beyond SQL-92
and the purely relational dogma.
Among a few other standard SQL
features, MySQL now supports
window functions (over) and common
table expressions (with). Without a
doubt, these are the two most
important post-SQL-92 features.”
