I am new to SQL, and would like to know what is the most recent version of SQL by ANSI, so we can purchase it.

ANSI only set rules for what the SQL language is.
Every vendor of a database product sets their own standard of how much to comply with standard.

Microsoft, which it's SQL Server, is currently on SQL Server 2008.
Oracle, I think, is on ORACLE 11g.

Latest SQL standard by ANSI is SQL 2008
You can purchase it from ISO or ANSI

No.
Microsoft SQL 7 is an old database server, released in late '90s.
The latest database server from Microsoft is, as stated earlier, SQL Server 2008.
