This document describes the definition and use of multidimensional arrays in SQL. Multidimensional
arrays represent a core underlying structure of manifold science and engineering data. It is generally
recognized today, therefore, that arrays have an essential role in Big Data and should become an integral
part of the overall data type orchestration in information systems. This document discusses the syntax
and semantics of operations on the MD-array data type defined in ISO/IEC 9075-15.
