Actually, != is not part of standard SQL. The inequality operator is <> 
only. PostgreSQL and MySQL both have != as an alias, but it's nonstandard.

I don't know if anyone would mind having it as an alias, though.

Good idea. It's nice if our SQL works with our SQL parser. :)

I changed several instances of != to <> in SQL, all that I could find, in 
the development trunk of CVS. I notice that we fixed a few of these back 
in the 4.9 era too, when Vend::SQL_Parser was first added.

Thanks,
