Internet-Draft The application/sql Media Type November 2012 1. Introduction The Structured Query Language (SQL) has been in use for over 30 years with various types of database technologies. However, there is no current media type registered for SQL. Therefore, this document seeks to formally register the application/sql media type to be used for SQL with IANA. 2. MIME Type Registration of text/csv This section provides the media-type registration application which will be submitted to IANA after IESG approval of this document. Type name: application Subtype name: sql Required parameters: N/A Optional parameters: N/A Encoding considerations: While SQL uses US-ASCII by default, some implementations may use other encodings including [Unicode]. Security considerations: Being that SQL is a full fledged programming language and may include embedded source code for other programming languages, it may be used to transfer malware, viruses and other malicious payloads. Implementors and users are encouraged only to exchange SQL files among trusted parties and utilize all available security measures such as restricted access, virus scanners, etc. to minimize risk. Interoperability considerations: While a single standard exists ([ISO.9075.2011]), vendor implementations of the standard vary significantly. Implementors and users should make sure that the exchanged SQL files match to the specific database/tool and version that they are using. Published specification: The most recent specification of SQL is available in [ISO.9075.2011]. Shafranovich Expires May 19, 2013 [Page 3]
