The SQL language is provided as a query language for users of SDBC. To compare the differences between different SQL dialects, the SDBC components from OpenOffice.org have their own SQL parser. This uses the query window to check the SQL commands typed and corrects simple syntax errors, such as those associated with uppercase and lowercase characters.

If a driver permits access to a data source that does not support SQL, then it must independently convert the transferred SQL commands to the native access needed. fr:FR/Documentation/BASIC Guide/SQL hu:HU/Documentation/BASIC Guide/SQL it:IT/Documentation/BASIC Guide/SQL ja:JA/Documentation/BASIC Guide/SQL zh:ZH/Documentation/BASIC Guide/SQL
