    <description>&lt;P&gt;What SQL dialect does ArcGIS Pro use for SQL expressions on Excel spreadsheets? Such as a definition query or select by attributes.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The docs seems to have conflicting information:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Query expressions in ArcGIS adhere to standard SQL expressions. The SQL syntax you use within an expression differs depending on the data source. Each data source has its own variant of SQL, which are referred to as SQL dialects.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;File-based data, including file geodatabases, shapefiles, in-memory table views, text files such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;.dbf&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;.csv&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;.txt&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;.xlsx&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;tables, and feature services that use standardized queries use the &lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ArcGIS SQL dialect&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; that supports a subset of SQL capabilities.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Mobile geodatabases, ST_geometry&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;SQLite&lt;/SPAN&gt;, GeoPackage, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Excel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;use&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;SQLite&lt;/SPAN&gt;SQL dialect&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Databases or enterprise geodatabases use the SQL syntax of the underlying RDBMS, such as,&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Oracle&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;SQL Server&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;PostgreSQL&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;SAP HANA&lt;/SPAN&gt;, and&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;IBM Db2&lt;/SPAN&gt;, where each database uses its own slightly different SQL dialect.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
