ISO/IEC 9075-15:2019/Cor 1:2022

Overview

ISO/IEC 9075-15:2019/Cor 1:2022 is a Technical Corrigendum to the SQL standard ISO/IEC 9075-15:2019 - Part 15: Multi-dimensional arrays (SQL/MDA). Published June 2022 by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 (Data management and interchange), this corrigendum corrects editorial and structural errors introduced into the Part 15 document. The corrections remove content that was an invalid attempt to merge material from Part 1 (SQL/Framework) and restore the intended scope and structure of the SQL/MDA specification.

Key topics and corrections

This Technical Corrigendum focuses on removal and cleanup rather than adding new technical features. Key actions include:

• Deleting erroneously merged items from Part 1 (SQL/Framework) that appeared in the SQL/MDA text.
• Removing entire clauses or subclauses that contained inappropriate or out-of-scope content:
  • Clause 4 - Concepts (deleted)
  • Clause 5 - The parts of ISO/IEC 9075 (deleted)
  • Subclause 20.4 - SQL_CONFORMANCE base table (deleted)
• Clarifying the rationale in the introduction to indicate these deletions were intended to correct an invalid merge and to align Part 15 with the SQL framework.

Because this corrigendum is corrective, it does not introduce new SQL/MDA syntax or behavioral requirements; instead it preserves the conceptual and normative integrity of the existing multi-dimensional arrays specification.

Applications and users

This corrigendum is relevant for:

• DBMS implementers and vendors ensuring their SQL/MDA support and documentation align with the corrected standard text.
• Database architects and SQL language designers who rely on accurate normative clauses for defining array behavior, conformance, and schema integration.
• Standards specialists and compliance auditors who track changes in ISO/IEC 9075 series and need to maintain compliant implementations or certification artifacts.
• Technical writers and documentation teams updating product materials, release notes, and interoperability tables for SQL multi-dimensional array features.

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 9075 (SQL) - the multi-part international standard for SQL; Part 15 covers multi-dimensional arrays (SQL/MDA).
• Technical Corrigenda and Amendments across the ISO/IEC 9075 series may also affect framework (Part 1) and other parts; implementers should track updates from ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32.
