Would those of you with access to other DBMSes try this:

create table tab (col integer);
select 1 from tab having 1=0;
select 1 from tab having 1=1;
insert into tab values(1);
insert into tab values(2);
select 1 from tab having 1=0;
select 1 from tab having 1=1;

I claim that a SQL-conformant database will return 0, 1, 0, and 1 rows
from the 4 selects --- that is, the contents of tab make no difference
at all.  (MySQL returns 0, 0, 0, and 2 rows, so they are definitely
copying our mistake...)

From SQL server 2000 with a service pack, I get:

zero rows from the first query (having 1=0);
one row, col value 1, from second query (having 1=1);
...run inserts...
zero rows from the third query (having 1=0);
one row, col value 1, from forth query (having 1=1);
