Oracle-SQL Server Conversion And Stored Procedures
Feb 15, 2000
Hello Everyone,
First problem :
I have an application which uses Power Builder and Oracle and my job is to convert it so that it can run on a SQL server database.
Oracle allows empty strings - '' - to mean NULL. If the application inserts an empty string in a column of a table, Oracle takes it to mean NULL.
How can i have this functionality in SQL Server?
Second Problem:
SQL Server does not allow stored procedures like sp_addlogin and sp_droplogin etc., to be executed from within a transaction. So everytime i need to execute these stored procedures thru my application, i disconnect and set autocommit to true and connect again. after executing these stored procedures, i disconnect again , set autocommit to false and then connect again. is this how it should be done or is there some better way of doing it.
All help will be highly appreciated. I really need help on these problems - fast.
Thanks
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!
One of our Oracle Tables changed and I am wondering if there's any way that I can query all of our Stored Procedures to try and find out if that Oracle Table Name is referenced in any of our SQL Server Stored Procedures OPENQUERY statements?
Hi all, I wrote following SP in Oracle but getting Red color with Into symbol at Procedure Name in List of Procs.
create or replace procedure EXAMPLE(:year in char, TYPE in char) AS BEGIN IF :year IS NULL THEN select s.survey_year,st.survey_type_name,count(s.survey_id) as count from tqdb_survey s,TQDB_SURVEYS_TYPE st where s.survey_type_id=st.SURVEY_TYPE_ID and st.survey_type_name=TYPE and s.is_active='N' and s.survey_year>0 group by s.SURVEY_YEAR,st.survey_type_name; ELSE IF TYPE IS NULL THEN select s.survey_year,st.survey_type_name,count(s.survey_id) as count from tqdb_survey s,TQDB_SURVEYS_TYPE st where s.survey_type_id=st.SURVEY_TYPE_ID and s.survey_year=:year and s.is_active='N' and s.survey_year>0 group by s.SURVEY_YEAR, st.survey_type_name; END IF; END EXAMPLE
Hello, Does SQL server 2005 provide capability to run Oracle stored procedures. I already have a linked server established for Oracle.
I have several oracle stored procedures that :
a) Accept multiple input parameters and return multiple out parameters.
b) Accept multiple input parameters and return a REF CURSOR as out parameter.
If you have any sample code, can you please post it here along with any suggestions. I researched, but there seems to be no solution, especially for REF CURSOR. Much appreciate it. Thnx Sam
I am in the process of trying to create a mirror image of our Oracle database in SQL Server. I have all of the code that was used to create Stored Procedures on the Oracle side. I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what the corresponding syntax to create these procedures in SQL Server would be. Has anybody been able to locate any sources of information that would help me or had any experience with this problem? I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Specifically I am looking for help on the following items:
Oracle Sql Server RETURN NUMBER ? IS ? BEGIN ? SELECT FROM DUAL ? EXCEPTION HANDLING ?
Here's some of what I have so far: Oracle SQL Server CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CREATE PROC AS Variable_name @variable_name number numeric dual #temptable
from VEST_SCHED, (select to_date('31-DEC-'||to_char(to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy'))+1), 'dd-mon-yyyy') as max_date from dual) b, (select to_date('1-JAN-'||to_char(to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy'))+1), 'dd-mon-yyyy') as min_date from dual) c where OPTS_CANC < '1' and VEST_DT BETWEEN c.min_date AND b.max_date and emplid = '[CURRENT_EMPLID]' group by emplid, GRANT_NUM
Hi Guys, I have this statement that I am converting from Oracle to SQL. Help pls:-) PP_PRICEPOINT_ID is a decimal. What is the appropriate usage..
Oracle ------------- update pricepoint set pp_type = decode(substr(pp_pricepoint_id,1,1),7,0,2), pp_qtybreakindex =substr(pp_pricepoint_id,3,1) where pp_type is null and pp_qtybreakIndex is null;
Here is its SQL ----------------- UPDATE pricepoint SETpp_type = CASE SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 1, 1) WHEN 7 THEN 0 ELSE 2 END, pp_qtybreakindex = SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 3, 1) WHERE pp_type is null ANDpp_qtybreakIndex is null ---------------- I am getting the error The data type decimal is invalid for the substring function. Allowed types are: char/varchar, nchar/nvarchar, and binary/varbinary.
Something went a bit wrong. Converted Oracle 10g to Sql Server 2000. Now, in the schema there is a column that allows nulls. In Oracle if you look at the column, you see NULL. However if I look at the same created in Sql Server it actually does not have a <NULL> value there. When the conversion was done however, all of these NULLs from Oracle came across into Sql Server with the actual value of <NULL>. This causes the problem that these objects are now no longer displayed within my application. They show up fine using Oracle, and if I use Sql Server from the start it is fine -- the column is just blank, not acutally NULL. I can force the <NULL> value by doing the ctrl+0 on the field, and that breaks it as well.
The column has to allow nulls, but the actual value cannot be <NULL> (in Sql Server). Any suggestions on getting rid of the NULL - I could do an update, but it actually just has to be blank rather than having a value. I tried an update to set it to ' ' but that didn't really work - here was my statement: update [table] set [columnname] = '' where [columnname] = '<NULL>'
Any other suggestions besides try again? But if it has to be 'try the conversion again' then that's the answer. Thanks much
Hi Friends, Need ur help desperately. I am stuck with one of the queries which i had written in Oracle and need the same in SQL Server.Please have a look at the following query :
select * from r_tin_1099_info where instr(translate( nm_ctrl_cd , '~!@#$%^&*()_+}{":?><`-=]['''';/., ', '*******************************' ),'*') > 0;
Basically my purpose is to replace the values in column NM_CTRL_CD having wild card characters with '*' and then select this rows to display.
However i am not able to run the same query in SQL Server since TRANSLATE is not a built in func. I have tried a lot to replace it but could only one func : REPLACE . But the same will not replace any one of the above wild characters but will replace the entire pattern.Please note that it should be able replace even if one of the wild card characters are present in the string and not necessarily the entire pattern shown above.
please reply ASAP since i am working and need this query to fix a defect.
Hi Gurus, I need to convert this statement to sql server. SELECT to_date('24-08-2007 13:11:12','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),to_date('24-aug-2007 13:11:12','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual
I have been working with SQLServer since 1996, and now our company is being forced to consider a switch to Oracle. Does anyone know of a good Oracle/SQL Server comparison or an Oracle discussion board where I can find out the Oracle half of the equation to make a case for switching or not?
Hi... Have a customer who's running version 1 of oracle on a DECmachine.. is there a driver out there for that stuff? How might oneget the data from the DEC machine to Sql Server 2000???? All I havenow are fdl/sfl files.thanks in advance.Steve
I am using SSIS to extract data from one oracle server to another. When i use this SSIS package in another Server, it gives me Unicode conversion error to non unicode for some Columns which are VARCHAR2 type. I have to then used drived column and use conversion, but my question is why this error from i migrate my SSIS package to another server.
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Please pardon my inexperience, I am new to SSIS. I am having some difficulty with using Oracle
procedures in SSIS. I have installed and configured the Oracle Client Software for 10g. I have managed to
create a connection to the Oracle database that I will be using. I am currently using the Oracle Provider For
OLE DB. I want to add an OLE DB Source component to the Data Flow which I then want to configure to
use an Oracle procedure to bring back the data that I need.
When I want to execute the Oracle Proc in the same way that I would normally execute a SQL Proc it returns
an error saying:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4A. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E4A Description: "Command was not prepared.".
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available.
We have set up Oracle database as a linked server in SQL Server.We are able to access Oracle tables fine.I am trying to call a Oracle stored procedure in SQL Server as follows:declare @p1 varchar(1000)set @p1 = 'HHH'exec GENRET..OPS$GENRET.BOB_TEST_PROC @p1This is the message:Server 'GENRET' is not configured for RPC.Please help.Thanks in advancev
IS there a way inside code for vb.net to programmatically change sorting in a stored procedure???Reason is I need a two way sort and did not want to have to write a SP for each way ....If so Do you have an example.....
Everytime after I restore any database on the sql server 6.5, I have to recompile all the stored procedures in that database.Is there any method to overcome this problem?
Trying to run a SQL Server 6.5 stored procedure via ADO 2.0 in Visual Basic 6. The stored procedure moves roughly 10000 records from one table to another within the same database. The procedure works just fine when run from a SQL editor such as I/SQL, but only transfers a few hundred records when it is executed from a VB application using ADO 2.0. The guilty code can be seen below. Any thoughts?
Public cnSQL As New ADODB.Connection Public qry As New ADODB.Command
With cnSQL .ConnectionString = ConnectStringSQL .ConnectionTimeout = 20 .Open End With
Set qry.ActiveConnection = cnSQL qry.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc qry.CommandTimeout = 120
I have a stored procedure on SQL/Server 2000 that inserts into a #temptable. When I execute it from Query Analyzer it works fine. When I execute it from an ASP using ADO it gives me an Open Error message. When I comment out the #temptable the ASP works fine. Can someone shed some light on this? Do I have to do an ADO opent on the #temptable?
I come from a MySQL background, and have recently began migrating to SQL Server.
I can't, for the life of me, find an example of a stored procedure that does the following in SQL Server: - Multi-lined - Contains both input and output parameters - Sets one of the output parameters within the stored procedure
Can anyone provide some insight? I.e. Why does the following not work?
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM syscomments WHERE id = object_id('usp_test')) BEGIN CREATE PROCEDURE "usp_test" (@num1 INT, @num2 INT, @result INT OUTPUT) AS BEGIN DECLARE newValue INT; SET @newValue = num1 + num2; SET @result = @newValue; END; END;
I get these errors (I'm using the Management Studio Express)
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PROCEDURE'. Msg 155, Level 15, State 2, Line 7 'INT' is not a recognized CURSOR option. Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 8 Must declare the scalar variable "@newValue". Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 9 Must declare the scalar variable "@newValue".
I've tried several different way to execute a oracle storedprocedure from a DTS package but to no avail.I have a Linked Server setup which does bring back Oracle tables from theserver when I click on the Tables icon.Here's my DTS statement:exec omsd..OMS_TECO.SP_Callback_Update_Pkg(116);omsd is the linked serveroms_teco is the owner of the oracle stored procedureSP_Callback_Update_Pkg is the oracle stored procedure(116) is the parameter passed to the oracle stored procedureI put the above exec statement in a DTS Execute SQL Task using a Connectionthat I tried using several OLE and ODBC Data Sources.

I just installed sql server 2005 on my machine. I've been using Access for some time and have created my stored procedures easily in it. However, this sql server 2005 is so complicated. In Access, all I had to do was "Create a New Query", write my sql statement, name and save it. However, I am having so much trouble with this sql server. For example, when I create a stored procedure in sql server, it has a .sql extension. I am assuming the stored procedure is a file. However, after saving it, I expand my database, expand programmability, and expand stored procedures, yet my new stored procedure is not there. It's placed in a file called projects. I need to access this stored procedure from code, but in visual studio, I get an error message, "Cannot find stored procedure sp_Roster". Here is the code I used to access my stored procedure from vb.net. I thought it would work but it didntDim comm As New SqlCommandDim strsql As StringDim strconn As String strsql = "sp_Roster" strconn = "server=Home; user=sa; pwd=juwar74; database=Book;" With comm .Connection = New SqlConnection(strconn) .CommandText = strsql .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With .Parameters.Add("TeacherID", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = "DawsMark@aol.com" End With With .Parameters.Add("ClassID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = CInt(classid) End With With .Parameters.Add("sID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = ssID End With With .Parameters.Add("sLastName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = lastname End With With .Parameters.Add("sFirstName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = firstname End With With .Parameters.Add("sMiddleName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = middlename End With With .Parameters.Add("Student", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = fullname End With With .Parameters.Add("Password", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = password End With .Connection.Open() .ExecuteNonQuery() With comm.Connection If .State = ConnectionState.Open Then .Close() End If End With End With Here is my procedure that I created and that was saved as sp_Roster.sql in sql server CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Roster ASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; -- Insert statements for procedure here INSERT INTO Roster (TeacherID, ClassID, sID, sLastName, sFirstName, sMiddleName, Student, Password) VALUES (@TeacherID, @ClassID, @sID, @sLastName, @sFirstName, @sMiddleName, @Student, @Password)ENDGO Why isn't ado.net finding it in sql server. Is the sqlstr correct?
In a previous post, someone helped me with creating stored procedures, and I am grateful because I am transitioning from the Access World. Anyway, I get an error at .ExecuteNonQuery in visual studio 2005 when I run the following code: Dim strsql As String Dim strconn As String strsql = "sp_Roster" strconn = "server=xxxx; user=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=xxxx;" With comm .Connection = New SqlConnection(strconn) .CommandText = strsql .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure With .Parameters.Add("TeacherID", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = "DawsMark@aol.com" End With With .Parameters.Add("ClassID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = classid End With With .Parameters.Add("sID", SqlDbType.Int) .Value = ssID End With With .Parameters.Add("sLastName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = lastname End With With .Parameters.Add("sFirstName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = firstname End With With .Parameters.Add("sMiddleName", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = middlename End With With .Parameters.Add("Student", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = fullname End With With .Parameters.Add("Password", SqlDbType.Char) .Value = password End With .Connection.Open() .ExecuteNonQuery() With comm.Connection If .State = ConnectionState.Open Then .Close() End If End With End With The error was: Error converting data type char to int. The stored procedure in sql server was as follows CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Roster -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@TeacherID varchar(50),@ClassID int,@sID int,@sLastName varchar(50),@sFirstName varchar(50),@sMiddleName varchar(50),@Student varchar(50),@Password varchar(50)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; -- Insert statements for procedure here INSERT INTO Roster (TeacherID, ClassID, sID, sLastName, sFirstName, sMiddleName, Student, Password) VALUES (@TeacherID, @ClassID, @sID, @sLastName, @sFirstName, @sMiddleName, @Student, @Password)ENDGO The error also says "sqlexception was unhandled by user code. This is strange because this code worked perfectly when connecting to Access and when I used oledb. So how is it the code's problem? Is the stored procedure causing the error or the code. Can someone please help. thanks. <Edited by Dinakar Nethi> Please mask your useird/pwd info in the connection string when posting to a public forum like this </Edit>
