I have been working to try and get FrontBase (www.frontbase.com) to work 
with interchange (4.6.5).  FrontBase is a strict SQL92 database and I am 
running into problems with less strict syntax.  FrontBase support tells me 
to follow the SQL92 standard and I am OK.

As an example, the IC_TEST_CREATE table was not being dropped when 
configuring the database because the "drop table ic_test_creste" statement 
is not SQL92 compliant, according to the FrontBase support team.  It needs 
to be "drop table ic_test_create cascade" or "drop table ic_test_create 
restrict".  Is there a way with interchange to specify, similar to the 
abpve CREATE_SQL parameter, a DROP_SQL type parameter to specify howto drop 
the IC_TEST_CREATE table?

Additionally, inserting sample values.  TIMESTAMP or DATE values, according 
to QL92 standard as outlined by FrontBase support, needs to be:

"INSERT INTO FOO(COL) VALUES (DATE '2001-05-02')" or whatever
and not "INSERT INTO FOO(COL) VALUES ('2001-05-02')" (no DATE specifier)

Is there a way to give hints to the interchange config scripts on how to 
construct the SQL insert statements with the sample data?

They reference the latest CJ Date SQL book as containing the SQL92 
standard.  I don't have tatbook available so I have to take their word for 
it.

Is there a document somewhere that outlines all the various parameters and 
configuration possibilities for an SQL database?

Thanks in advance.
best regards
Chad
