In fact, an application query need not even be SQL, or it may be a specialized derivative of SQL, e.g. for document or image queries, designed for specific DBMSs.
In order to pass JDBC compliance tests and to be called "JDBC COMPLIANT " we require that a driver support at least ANSI SQL-2 Entry Level. This gives applications that want wide portability a guaranteed least common denominator. We believe ANSI SQL-2 Entry Level is reasonably powerful and is reasonably widely supported today.
* 為了通過JDBC兼容的測試，并且能夠被稱為JDBC兼容，我們要求一個驅動至少支持ANSI SQL-2的標準。這使得那些需要廣泛移植性的程序獲得一個最小的分母(這句話的原文是：This gives applications that want wide portability a guaranteed least common denominator.)。我們相信ANSI SQL-2是足夠強大的，并且是得到足夠支持的。
