Scope:

This document describes the definition and use of multidimensional arrays in SQL. Multidimensional

arrays represent a core underlying structure of manifold science and engineering data. It is generally

recognized today, therefore, that arrays have an essential role in Big Data and should become an integral part of the overall data type orchestration in information systems. This document discusses the syntax and semantics of operations on the MD-array data type defined in ISO/IEC 9075-15.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the ICT subject area (adoption of new standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of P123 Technical Committee on Information Technology. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the field of ICT, including cybersecurity and software. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users.
