Abstract :
One remarkable fuzzy set based extension to SQL is SQLf. It allows fuzzy conditions in any place where SQL allows a Boolean one. At present time SQLf development is not up to date with SQL standard. Latest SQLf revision was with the SQL:1999 standard.New features of SQL:2003 standard have not been yet extended to the fuzzy case in SQLf. In this paper, we make a contribution towards a standard in Fuzzy Databases, upgrading SQLf according SQL:2003 standard, proposing these new fuzzy features: fuzzy table storage,fuzzy multiset data type and fuzzy merge statement.
