+# SQL Dialect
+
+By default, Apache DataFusion follows the [PostgreSQL SQL dialect].
+For Array/List functions and semantics, it follows the [DuckDB SQL dialect].

+[postgresql sql dialect]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql.html

Review Comment:
   Nested functions are not well-supported in Postgres, so we choose DuckDB and 
other OLAP systems for these kind of function. We don’t enforce strict 
adherence to any particular system for function implementation. Instead, our 
goal is to establish a default behavior in the DataFusion core while making it 
easy to customize functions as needed. Given that Postgres and DuckDB are 
enough for us to decide what the function should be like so we ends up these 2.
