SQL Standards - Not officially available on-line as you have to pay to
obtain the copy of the standard. Sometimes a draft versions of the
standard are available on-line, use google to find them.
There are many books on SQL

JDBC 3.0 (and 2.1 sometimes)
   Derby's JDBC implementation notes contain links to the JDBC standards
    
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/papers/JDBCImplementation.html#Overview

Java
    All the Java related standards are available at
       http://java.sun.com

This might be another good page to create on the Derby site, locations
of standards related to Derby. Though it shouldn't be seen as limiting
in any way, any standard should be seen as a possible integration or
implementation point with Derby.
