We are in the process of supporting two databases (Oracle 10g, SQL Server 2005) for our application.
I want to know what is the equivalent Tables/Views in SQL Server for the Oracle System tables dba_tab_comments, dba_tab_cols
Thanks in advance
Please, could anyone tell me how to get information from which attribute of which table is the attribute from the view derived(it could also be a complex expression, not just attribute)through querying system tables or views(INFORMATION_SCHEMA, preferably if possible, because it's standard)
i'm using MSSQL2005.
Thank you!
As im diving into my new DBA role and reading as much as I can, I am a little confused on DMV's and system tables.
I've been reading through the book "SQL Server 2005 Bible", which has been very helpful. I tend to use it in conjunction with BOL whenever I come across something I want to learn more.
Last Friday, I tinkered around with DMV's, which was really cool, but I ran into something today that confused me.
Basically, it was finding out the recovery model for all the DB's on the server. The code in the book was:
SELECT [name], recovery_model_desc
FROM sys.databases;
Which turned exactly what it says it will.
however, I am confused.
I initially thought I needed to specify something in the "[name]" section, but realized, that is not the case.
My question is, why is that?
How do I know when to use [] around something?
I found this article:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3587906
I have been reading it.
I guess I am just really young and raw to T-SQL to know when to use the language corectly.
Is it due to the fact that the rules or syntax is a little different when using system tables?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

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
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import application tables from oracle but they do not show up in the list of tables. I suspect that this is because the tables are owned by System. Is there any way other than changing the owner to get these tables to appear in the import list?
Thanks,

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.

Is there something equivalent to the MINUS in ORacle ?
Or a workaround ?
thanks
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

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.

Kindly give the SQL Server equivalent for the below Oracle query :
select *from t1, t2, t3 where
t1.t1col1 (+) = t2.t2col1 and
t2.t2col1 (+) = t3.t3col1

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 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.
hi,
There is no direct equivalent to Oracle's rownum or row id in SQL Server

I have to come up with a SSIS package to tranform data from oracle database to our sql server database. This oracle db is managed by a third party , I have been given 10 views from oracle so I can extarct information I need. How should I design my SSIS package? Do I have to have 10 different data flows or there is an eaier way to run my 10 select statements from these views?
Is there any article that can give me some ideas on how to design SSIS packages to extract information from oracle?
Thanks a lot

I know that (+) is for outer joins (left or right). I also know that UNION may mean FULL OUTER JOIN. but this query? The real query is a lot more complex, well actually there are just more fields needed from more tables but with this exmple is enough. The bottom line is that i need data from various tables, most of them involved in a JOIN clause. Also check out that in SQL Server doesnt exists the REPLACE word or does it?
Thank you in advance,

we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?
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

I need to know the SQL Server equivalent for the below Oracle query :
select t.* from table(cast(c1.table1 as create_type_of_table))
The above query will be used in PL/SQLs in ORACLE.
What is the SQL Server equivalent for the above query ?
Hi Guys,
well as you can see from my thread SQLServer is new to me i am used to mysql and i c'ant find the equivalent anywhere on the net... Seams easy enough but i have been at it for 6 hrs and i give up... I am just making a quick database view tool. So please tell me.
How do i load the all tables of a database via an sql command?
Since it took me a while to find this i thought migth as well slap ip somewhere so here is the command to load all data bases... In any case worked for me so...
