How To Convert Pl/sql Code Of Oracle To Something Equivalent Which Works On Sql Server 7.0?
Dec 21, 2000
i had worked on oracle 8i and i am planning to work on sql server 2000,i am requested by a company to help in converting there pl/sql code of oracle 8.0 to something equivalent which works on sql server 7.0 as they want to have similar code on both..i had not worked on sql server 7.0 ,but as pl/sql code works only on oracle stuff..so could kindly anyone guide me in this as to whether there is any product which coverts pl/code (the existing pl/code runs into thousands of line) automatically..i will be very grateful if anyone can enlighten me with such a product(software) or script.. along with its information and site address..any resources and any guidance as to how to go about about this conversion will be very invaluable..hope to hear soon from you guys...early response....will be appreciated..
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 an equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM in SQL Server. ROWNUM, when added to a select statement as a column - the query would return an automatic counter, numbering each row returned.
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.
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'
I am having trouble creating an INSTEAD OF trigger in SQL Server toreplicate a BEFORE UPDATE trigger from ORACLE.Here is a sample of the ORACLE BEFORE UPDATE trigger:CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER ON MYTABLEbegin:new.DT := SYSDATE;if :new.NM is NULL then:new.NM := USER;end if;end myTRIGGER;It seems as though I have to jump through hoops in SQL Server AND Icannot come up with correct results.Here is a snippet from SQL SERVER (this is what I figured I needed todo after reading various articles,questions):CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER on THETABLEINSTEAD OF UPDATEASSELECT * INTO #MYTABLE FROM INSERTEDUPDATE #MYTABLE SET DT = GETDATE()UPDATE #MYTABLE SET NM = USER WHERE NM IS NULLUPDATE THETABLESETDT = (SELECT DT FROM #MYTABLE),NM = (SELECT NM FROM #MYTABLE)WHERE THETABLE.ID = (SELECT ID FROM #MYTABLE)Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
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)
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

I need time in the formate HH:mm AM (ex: 06:25 AM, 08:30 PM)
I have tryed with the following query "SELECT right(CONVERT( varchar, getDate(), 100),7)" it is giving time like 6:25 AM, But I need in the format 06:25 AM.
I need exaclty equivalent of following oracle query. TO_CHAR(sysdate,'HH:mm AM')
I am extracting data from an Oracle database and have installed the latest x64 ODAC. When I run the 64 bit dtexec in cmd the package runs fine with no errors, but when creating and executing a SSIS job in the agent it fails. I've tried creating the job using CmdExec as well and I get the same errors:

The CmdExec job step uses the _exact_ same command as the one I execute successfully in cmd: "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /FILE "C:PackagesLoad Dimension Data.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
I have managed to find two work arounds, but they are quite ugly:
1) Schedule the package execution using Windows Task Scheduler, basically create a bat file which runs the package. 2) Schedule the package in SQL Server agent, but as T-SQL script and use xp_cmdshell, i.e. EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /FILE "C:PackagesLoad Dimension Data.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW'
Both work and use the 64 bit dtexec. Not that elegant though..
CmdExec and the 32 bit version of dtexec works, but is not good enough for me since we bought new hardware and 64 bit software just to be able to address more memory. Has anyone managed to execute a SSIS package successfully using the agent and the 64 bit OraOLEDB.Oracle.1?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Btw, I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 and SQL Server with SP2.
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
Hi, Is there a tool that anyone here is aware of which converts SQL, stored procedures and such stuff from Oracle compatibility to SQL Server compatibility? I have some Oracle based SQL that I wud like to convert into T-sql instead of re writing the whole T-SQL.. Thanks,
Hello,I would like to know if the equivalent Oracle rownum exist inSQLServer. Here is a sample SQL code to explain what I want to do :selectjobs.name,jobs.job_id,jobs.description,hist.message,hist.step_name,hist.step_id,hist.run_status,hist.run_date,hist.run_time,hist.run_durationfrommsdb.dbo.sysjobs jobs,msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory histwherejobs.job_id=hist.job_idand hist.job_id='E71CCB97-81C3-46E2-83FA-BFFCB66B47F8'order byrun_date, run_timeI just want the first or second row returned by this query. In Oracle Ican simply add rownum=1 or rownum=2 in the where clause to obtain thedesired answer. I don't know how to do in SQLServer.Thank in advance,Pierig.
I know you can start SQLCMD with the -e option to have the SQL code echoed in the output when running. Is there a way to turn this on or off within a script file? Example: File1.sql = select 'hi' as HI go File2.sql = select 'by' as BY_ go
Runfile.sql = set (like echo on, -e sign on parm) ? what command :r File1.sql set (like echo off, -e sign on parm not used) ? what command :r File2.sql
want to get output like select 'hi' as HI (echoed the select statement) HI -- hi (1 rows affected) BY_ ( did not echo the select statment) --- by
I am currently migrating my database from oracle to MSSQL. My problem is that i have encountered the UTL_FILE function in Oracle and i am not finding its equivalent for MSSQL.
Can anyone help me with this plz? Is there any other way of reading and writting OS files in MSSQL?
I have this update working in an Oracle database and I need to make it run on SQL Server.
UPDATE table3 C SET C.column1 = 'A' WHERE (C.column2, C.column3) IN (SELECT B.column2, B.column3 FROM table1 A, table2 B WHERE A.column2 = B.column2 AND A.column3 = B.column3 AND B.column4 = 1)
I have this SQL table w/ fieldname "PayPeriod". Sample value of PayPeriod are SEP06-1, SEP06-2, OCT06-1, OCT06-2... Wherein the first 3 chars is the month, 06 is the year, 1 or 2 is the cutoff where 1 means the 2nd half of the previous month and 2 is the first half of the current month.
Now my questions are: 1.) How can I select these values sorted according to date. Since this is a character data type. Sorting is alphabetical. I need to sort it according to date where JAN05-1 is the first record and the last record is DEC06-2 (assuming that the oldest year is 05 and 06 is the latest). 2.) How can I convert the 3 char month into its number equivalent. Example, JAN is equal to 1, FEB is 2, MAR is 3.... 3.) How can I count the no. of days in a month? Is there a function that would result to the no. of days in a given month?
Hi, Can any one change this oracle proc. to SQL Server procedure.

Hi.I need to give my customer an sql file that they can run in query analyzer.All the stuff they need to run is in a set of existing files.I'd like to just tell them to load this file (this is oracle syntax):@file1.sql@file2.sql@file3.sqlis there some way of calling these files (that are in the same dir) from amaster sql file?ThanksJeff Kish
