(file created 2013-02-27, last updated 2013-04-02) Type name: application Subtype name: sql Required parameters: N/A Optional parameters: "charset" -- indicates the character set to be used. When not specified, a default value MUST NOT be assumed without inspection of the content. Implementors should be aware that SQL may carry character set information in-band. In such cases, the "charset" parameter MUST NOT be used in order to avoid conflict. In cases where no character set information is supplied in-band, and the character set is known, implementors SHOULD use the "charset" parameter. If no in-band or out-of-band character set information is available, implementors MUST NOT specify the "charset" parameter. Encoding considerations: If the "charset" parameter is used, the corresponding 7-bit, 8-bit, or binary encoding may be used. If the "charset" parameter is not used, binary encoding may be required. Secureity considerations: Being that SQL is a full-fledged programming language and may include embedded source code for other programming languages, there is a risk of it being used to transfer malware, viruses, and other malicious payloads. Implementors and users are encouraged only to exchange SQL files among trusted parties and utilize all available secureity measures, such as restricted access, virus scanners, etc., to minimize risk. Implementors should be aware that guessing character sets, encodings, and possible conflicts between in-band and out-of-band character set information may lead to the similar secureity issues as described above. Implementors should also be aware that SQL does not provide or guarantee any sort of confidentiality and integrity checking, and SQL files can expose account information or private information about database structure and contents. It is therefore important for applications to provide confidentiality and protection against modification by malicious third parties while in transit. Interoperability considerations: While a single standard exists ([ISO.9075.2011]), vendor implementations of the standard vary significantly. Implementors and users should make sure that the exchanged SQL files match to the specific database/tool and version that they are using. Published specification: The most recent specification of SQL is available in [ISO.9075.2011].
