What is an iso? An ISO is something that holds files contained on a CD or DVD. When using an ISO you have three different options you can either copy it to a CD or an DVD. Or you can mount it to a virtual CD or extract it onto a hard drive.
ANSI stands for the American National Standards Institute which an organization in the US which sets the standards used for testing the quality and safety of electronic equipment, scientific equipment etc. It has also established a standard set of letters and numbers called the ANSI character set, which is used in computers.
The standard has been in existence as an official ANSI since 1986, and has been revised up through the 2008 version. Industry standard would be conforming to the ANSI/ISO Standards, typically the "core" or "entry" level, where the syntax will work on any major DBMS.
De-facto standard would be "presumed practice", something widely-used, but not standard. For example, Microsoft Windows might be the de-facto standard for business applications. Yet, in some industries (telco and health care), Unix is the de-facto standard.
Proprietary would be those special, non-portable extensions that are added to a DBMS. Consider the differences between stored procedure languages (T-SQL, PL/SQL, SQL PL), each of which is special to one DBMS only. Or the many different, unique ways in which date-time values are handled.
