This was previously nominated in March, 2005. The article had two robot edits since then and no other improvements. The article is not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a programming manual. The content of this article will never be more insightful or more current than the documentation pages (available for free, online) at mysql.com. Mikeblas 10:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Note that the outline as it stands in the article isn't correct (
SELECTisn't DML, for example; it's DQL). It also isn't complete; I'd estimate that the outline includes about 5% of the keywords that the language recognizes, not to mention the other background information (data types, execution model, and so on) that needs to be covered in order to establish adequate context for such an article. A "MAJOR REWRITE" would take two people about six months, and they'd finish with something that isn't as accurate or as up-to-date as what the MySQL project makes available at their own website. -- Mikeblas 13:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
