Hi,
Just curious: I was told, without proof, that declarative ( i.e., not purely imperative) versions of SQL are not strictly necessary, i.e., that anything that can be done within declarative extensions can also be done within the imperative "restriction" . So, e.g., anything in SQL Server that is done n T-SQL can also be done within the "Standard" version of MS SQL Server SQL. I could not find anything definitive nor clear in this respect.
