The standard CLI conformance level can be one of the following: ISO 92, X/Open, ODBC, or Deprecated. A function tagged as ISO 92
–conformant also appears in X/Open version 1, because X/Open is a pure superset of ISO 92. A function tagged as X/Open-compliant also appears in ODBC 3.0, because ODBC 3.0 is a pure superset of X/Open version 1. A function tagged as ODBC-compliant appears in neither standard. A function tagged as deprecated has been deprecated in ODBC 3.0.Handling of diagnostic information is described in the SQLGetDiagField function description. The text associated with SQLSTATE values is included to provide a description of the condition, but is not intended to prescribe specific text.
