The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) implementation upholds the goal of SQL standardization by issuing a warning when it encounters Sybase extensions to SQL statements. FIPS uses SQL-89 as the standard.
When you set the FIPS flagger, you can still use Transact-SQL extensions such as triggers and stored procedures. FIPS flags these non-ANSI statements and issues warning messages, but the application still compiles and executes.
