Oracle Translate Function Equivalent In SQL Server

May 5, 2006

Hi



I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.



eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.



I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only
one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of
each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.



Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server



thanks.

How To Translate Oracle Decode

Aug 2, 2006

Hi,

How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:

I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I

Wrote this function

select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )

first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.

I would like to test first value and return second or third value

-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok

but I can use + or -

I can't do this

select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )

If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?

With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#



Any ideia????????????????????

cheers,

MS-SQL Server Equivalent To Oracle 9i?

Jul 20, 2005

All,Oracle 9i provides a "USING" clause option for inner joins, thatallows me to say:SELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 USING KeyColumnassuming KeyColumn is in both TBL1 and TBL2. This is HIGHLY desirablefor our software make use of, but we also support SQL Server. Thereis no USING option available, andSELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 ON TBL1.KeyColumn = TBL2.KeyColumncauses an ambiguous column error on KeyColumn.Is there any equivalent to this Oracle functionality on SQL Server?KingGreg

Is There A SQL Server Equivalent For Oracle Synonyms?

Jul 9, 2004

I have a SQL Server database which has one user (UserA) which owns some tables. I've added an additional user (UserB) to the database such that it has access to the tables owned by UserA. What is happening is that when I log on as UserB I have to fully qualify table names and fields in my SQL statements when I deal with tables owned by UserA. Is there a way make the tables accessible without specifying the owner? In Oracle you could create a public synonym for the table eg. <table_name>. Wherever that synonym is referenced the DBMS would know thats its refering to UserA.<table_name>. Is such functionality available in SQL Server? Thanks.

Oracle's ROWNUM Equivalent In SQL Server

Sep 2, 2004

Hi,

Can any one tell me is there anything in SQL Server thats equivalent
to Oracle's ROWNUM.

Note that the Identity Property or TOP n will not solve my problem.

I want to asign a sequence no. to each row when its being fetched.

For example if in the emp table there are 2000 rows and I write
the following query in Oracle ,

SELECT rownum , empno, empname FROM emp Where rownum < =3

I get the result like this

Rownum----Empno--------------Empname
------------------------------------------
1-----------2345---------------ABCD
2-----------3334---------------EFGH
3-----------4484---------------IJKL


I know I can limit the output rows in SQL Server by using TOP n. But
I also want to generate a sequence no. The identity property of SQL Server
will not be usefull here because my actaul WHERE clause will be more
complex like WHERE resigndate = '01-jan-2004'

Thanks

Equivalent Of Oracle's INSTR( With 4 Parameters) In SQL Server

Feb 2, 2005

The syntax for Oracle's INSTR function is

instr (string1, string2, [start_position], [nth_appearance])

string1 is the string to search.

string2 is the substring to search for in string1.

start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. This argument is optional. If omitted, it defaults to 1. The first position in the string is 1. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1.

nth_appearance is the nth appearance of string2. This is optional. If omiited, it defaults to 1.

In SQL Server, we are having CHARINDEX and PATINDEX functions. But they will not accept the fourth paremeter (nth_appearance)

Do anybody know the solution for this ????

Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish
