What Are The Differences Between MS SQL Server 2005 && Oracle 9i ?
Aug 5, 2006
Hi guyz,
I have basic knowledge of Sql Server 2005 and now i wanna move ahead in Oracle 9i !
So, i have 2 questions here -
a)Whats the Difference between Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 9 i ?
Note: Please keep the discussion general so that student like me can understand. I have never seen Oracle but the industry requirements suggest that Oracle is way better than than SQL Server 2005. But thats what i think
b)I am Running Windows XP SP 2 and i would like to practise Oracle 9i. So, Where i can download it for free ? I know i have checked there website but they don't mention the difference between each version. Oracle does't market their products as well as Microsoft.
Please , I am Student .. so i request you to make the discussion general .
Thank you for your time.

Hello ,
I'm facing a complicated problem and I don't think that the solution will be an easy one.
I have an SQL statement in Oracle which I need to translate it in Sql Server 2005.
select lpad(' ',5*(orderid)) || to_char(descr) as menui
from <table _name>
where MENU_ITEM not in ('test1','test2','test3') and item_parent not in ('test4,'test5,'test6')
start with <item_parent='item_parent' >
connect by prior <menu_item = item_parent and menu_name='ADR_m_adr_frame'; > ?(condition)
Somewhere I have read that SQL server does not support Hierarchical Sql statements. Is this true ? How am I going to do that ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

I am need of comparing ORACLE and SQL clustering,.
1) Dynamic addition / removal of nodes with no effects on data distribution-- I think Yes
2) Integrated clustering technology for all major OS and Server Platforms
3) Automatic Workload management that enables enterprise Grids
4) Recovery Advisories

Hi there,
I'm trying to find what are the main differences between SQL Server 2005 64-bits and 32-bits. So far, I've found some articles about TPC-C performance but I would like to know some response time or execution time of a batch or SSIS packages.
Any information about this 2 versions is appreciated.
Thanks!

Firslty, my aplogies if this is documented elsewhere - I am a new user to SQL Team and not yet found everything! I hope someone here can help me...
In brief, I am making the foolish mistake of embarking on my third and final year of an MS(c) degree in forensic computing. For my final year project I am intending to study and document (for forensic computing purposes) the forensic capture and investigation of data from a MS SQL Server database.
However, my experience is mostly from MySQL! In other words, I know very little about the internal structure of MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005.
Which leads me to my question....
Can anyone point me in the direction of a technical pagedocumentpdf (whatever) that details what the core fundamental differences are between 2000 and 2005. I'm not talking about an MS publicity paper - no, I need a non-bias technical guide which states the differences as fact.
If the differences in 2005 are mostly just cosemtic (the GUI etc) then I'll study 2000 because lots is already known and documented about it it seems. However, if it's much more than that and the differences are specific to what I'm studying (the forensic capture) then I'll probably have to go with 2005 because that's what we will be encountering more of in the next few years and the differences will effect the investigator.
Your time and responses much appreciated.
Regards
Ted
(BTW - Having looked at the description of 'Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000', it seems like it might be a good book for my project (if I do 2000). Would you guys agree?)

Hi
I have new bought the SQL server 2005 enterprise, but it have 2 CDs, so what are the differences between CD1 and CD2? and so which one should i install first? or is it necessary to install both two or just need to install one of them?
And about my original sql 2000 database, can i just attach it's MDF file into the sql 2005 engine, or which import wizard can load the sql 2000 MDF into sql 2005? or do i need to keep the sql 2000 engine before do this?
thx

I've got a table adapter that connects using an oracle data connector. In the adapter, I'm using native oracle SQL such as:
select TO_DATE(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(weird_oracle_field),0,12),'YYYYMMDDHH24MI') as dt_added from oracle_data_table
There's also a CASE statement in there with some other data transformations.
Anyway, I want to take the results of that Oracle query and put the dataset into a SQL Server Compact Edition database - within an application that I'm creating in Visual Studio 2005.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to do anything like that in 'bulk' and there aren't any data migration tools that work with anything other than "full" SQL Server versions. My client doesn't support SQL Server, but I can deploy my app with SQL CE. I need a 'local' copy of the database (for several reasons) and just can't seem to figure out how to make this work.
I'm really going nuts. I feel like I'm soooo close when I see the data I want in the table adapter - but I can't seem to actually *move* the data over!!
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Jon

Hiya,
I'm a SQL n000b, and have just joined the forum 5 minutes ago seeking an answer to this problem that I've encountered. It seems that the way connection strings are handled in SQL 2005 have changed. This connection string used to work, but is now borked:
<add key="DBNAME.ConnectionString" value="packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source='sqlvirdev0035dev35';persist security info=False;initial catalog=DBNAME;connection timeout=60" />
Has something explicitly changed in SQL 2005 that would break this <add key>? Does something need to be set server side in order to handle these connection strings now? I have no idea why this won't work anymore, I just know that it doesn't work.
Ty for any help,
~Chipley

Hi,
I have a simple sql statement that used to work in SQL 2000 that isn't working in SQL 2005. The order by clause doesn't seem to have any effect on the result set. The sql statement is:
ALTER VIEW dbo.SELECT_PP_END
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
PP_PERIOD_ID,
CONVERT(VARCHAR, PP_END_DATE, 101) AS PP
FROM dbo.PP_PERIODS
ORDER BY PP_END_DATE DESC
The period end date is appearing in ascinding order on sql server 2005 and in the correct order in sql 2000. Any idea? Thank you for your help

I just wanted to post a difference I found between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 regarding UDPATE statements that are done on a join. I understand that if tables are designed correctly this won't be a problem. But, when you inherit a bad design, you are unfortunately stuck with it. Hopefully this will help ease data differences in your migration from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Run this code on a SQL 2000 connection, then run on SQL 2005. My guess on the behavior difference is strictly performance based since 2005 pulls the top result. Either way it can cause a lot of head scratching if you're not aware of it.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#UpdateTestA') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestA
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#UpdateTestB') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestB
CREATE TABLE #UpdateTestA(
UpdateTestA int identity(1, 1),
FullName varchar(20),
UpdateData varchar(10))
CREATE TABLE #UpdateTestB(
UpdateTestB int identity(1, 1),
FullName varchar(20),
UpdateData varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestA(
FullName)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble')
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestB(
FullName,
UpdateData)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble', 'First')
INSERT INTO #UpdateTestB(
FullName,
UpdateData)
VALUES ('Barney Rubble', 'Second')
SELECT * FROM #UpdateTestA
UPDATE a
SET a.UpdateData = b.UpdateData
FROM #UpdateTestA a
INNER JOIN #UpdateTestB b on b.FullName = a.FullName
SELECT * FROM #UpdateTestA
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestA
DROP TABLE #UpdateTestB
Hope this solves a problem that you were having too.

I have the following a view on a SQL2K box that uses the following SELECT statement:
SELECT
SF.SKU,
SAT.PublicationDate AS SATPubDate,
SAM.PublicationDate AS SAMPubDat
FROM SkuFlags SF
LEFT OUTER JOIN SpringArbor_ttlsparb SAT ON SF.ISBN = SAT.ISBN
LEFT OUTER JOIN SpringArbor_music SAM ON SF.ISBN = SAM.PrimaryKey
WHERE (
(
( SAT.PublicationDate IS NOT NULL ) AND
( SAT.PublicationDate <> '010001' ) AND
( GETDATE() <= DATEADD(day, -1, ( CAST(LEFT(SAT.PublicationDate, 2) + '/01/' + RIGHT(SAT.PublicationDate, 4) AS DATETIME) )))
)
OR (
( SAM.PublicationDate <> '010001' ) AND
( SAM.PublicationDate IS NOT NULL ) AND
( GETDATE() <= DATEADD(day, -1, ( CAST(LEFT(SAM.PublicationDate, 2) + '/01/' + RIGHT(SAM.PublicationDate, 4) AS DATETIME)))
)
)
The view works in SQL2K. When I try to run it under SQL2K5, I get a "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value." error. I know what the error is, the SAM.PublicationDate field has NULL values in it (and this is vendor supplied data that is updated frequently, so not dealing with NULL values isn't an option), so during the CAST function it's try to CAST NULL + /01/ + NULL into a DATETIME value and crashing.
My question is why this works in SQL2K and not SQL2K5?
Thanks,
Kevin

We have developed a mobile system that uses merge replication for SQL Mobile to SQL 2005. Previously we have developed mutliple mobile systems using merge replication for SQL Ce to SQL 2000.
Based on the knowledge we had gathered over about 4 years, we applied the synchronisation parameters for the SQL 2005 solution as we would for the SQL 2000 solution.
We have found there are some differences. Not too surprising I suppose, only some of these have us a little baffled.
For instance, there was a little flag called keep_partition_changes in SQL 2000 that is supposedly superceded by the use_partition_groups flag. However, if you don't set up your filtering to conform to the standards required by the use_pre_computed_partitions flag if you want it set to true, then the use_partition_groups flag gets set to false - also the @partition_options falg gets set back to 0 (static or non-unique data) when we want it at 3 (Single Parition, One subscriber).
To top it all off, when you get the use_partition_groups flag working, there are restrictions on which columns you can update on the device. WTF? This seems ludicrous, to be unable to update data at the subscriber - particularly information that allows you to effectively "delete" data from your subscription.
Examples of the current behaviour are as follows,
On initialize for a subscriber, the subscriber will receive their own data as inserts, plus exact multiples of that data as updates. Say there are 100 rows in TableA, the subscriber gets 100 inserts, plus 6000 updates. TableB has 20 rows, the subscriber gets 20 inserts, 1200 updates.
Further to this, performance goes out the window when synchronising changes. Typically the data flow will be between 5 and 200 changes in both directions for a synchronisation. We are seeing sync times in the replication monitor of over 20 seconds per user. Surely the calculations do not take that long. The tables in the database are not very large.
This behaviour gets significantly worse as we load the system. The application has an auto sync function which is timed to operate evry 10 minutes. However, now that there is in excess of 50 or so users on the system, those synchronisation times blow out to multiple minutes and the server starts to thrash. We have looked at indexing and maintenance but to no avail.
Everything still points to the merge replication setup.
So, it seems obvious to me that we are mising some key information about how to set up merge replication in SQL 2005. We woudl be very gratefull if someone could point out the errors of our ways.
Sorry for the convoluted post. Hope someone can help us.
Cheers
Steve

Can anyone point me in the direction of some NON-sales documentation on the differences between these product? I am sure, especially with Express, there are considerable functionality and architecture differences.
I've looked in BOL, and I've done searches online.
All i seem to get is sales related stuff.
I'm curious about the architecture of SQL 2005, SQL express. In 2000, there was some fairly detailed documentaiton on this subject, but 2005 BOL seems REALLY diffucult to find things.
I may just need to try different keywords...

I have more than 8 GB Data in oracle and Everyday we have to check some data in oracle but it takes times due to lot of data. So what i was looking that data that we need can import in SQL Server database and do checking purpose. But I was looking some command that connect to oracle brings its data and import in SQL Server. For that we will fire SQL statement to oracle through asp.net and insert into SQL Server I will fire differencial data insert covery only. is there any way or idea to do that please advice me.

I am trying to import an Oracle .dmp database into SQL Server 2005, what would you suggest as the fastest and easiest way to do this? DTS/SSIS doesn't have an instant solution and the script I tried to use gave me an error...
Msg 3241, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The media family on device '<DATABASE>' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I would like a GUI based way to do this if at all possible. Thanks

Hello guys,
I'm relatively new to DTS and I was trying to import data from the oracle database to SQL server database based on some parameter from the destination table.
i.e select * from SourceTable where SourceTable.Column1 > (select max(Column1) from DestinationTable)
This tries to search DestinationTable from the source database(Oracle)
How shoud I go to solve this problem?
Any Hint is greatly appreciated....

OK new Windows 2003 Enterprise 64-bit with MS SQL Server 2005 64-bit.. Now I am migrating the DTS packages from our olld Windows 2000 Standard with MS SQL 2000 (all 32-bit). I am not moving the packages to SSIS yet just want to move the legacy DTS jobs over... However whenever I try and connect to the Oracle DB I got ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
I have the Oracle 10g 32-bit & Oracle 10g 64-bit clients installed and I can run SQL+Plus and do everything just fine. It is just in MS SQL 2005 I can not. Even in SSIS I get the ORA-12154 error. I can create an ODBC and test it and it works just fine... Has anyone here ever fixed this? Some say it is b/c of the ('s around x86 in program files and I have done their suggestion in making a ProgramFilesx86 directory and copy the visual stupid & sql directories there... still nothing. I have one of my DBA's searching Oracle for any patches but thought I would ask and see.
Thanks,
Billy S.

In ORACLE 9i, I created the table test that show the tree structure of an organizaion with the following SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE TEST(
PARFOLDERNO NUMBER(8,0),
FOLDERNO NUMBER(8,0)
)
And select the data using the following SQL Statement:
SELECT PARFOLDERNO,FOLDERNO FROM TEST
The result is:
PARFOLDERNO FOLDERNO
0 2461
2461 2463
2461 2462
2462 2465
2462 2466
2463 2469
2463 2470
To show the subnodes of the root node 2461, the following SQL Statement is used:
SELECT PARFOLDERNO,FOLDERNO FROM TEST START WITH FOLDERNO=2461 CONNECT BY PRIOR FOLDERNO=PARFOLDERNO
the results:
PARFOLDERNO FOLDERNO
0 2461
2461 2463
2463 2469
2463 2470
2461 2462
2462 2465
2462 2466
I have created the table test with the same structure and the same data in SQL Server 2005. To show the subnodes of the root node 2461, the following SQL Statement is used:
WITH CTE_TEST(PARFOLDERNO,FOLDERNO)
AS
(
SELECT PARFOLDERNO,FOLDERNO FROM TEST WHERE FOLDERNO=2461
UNION ALL
SELECT TEST.PARFOLDERNO,TEST.FOLDERNO FROM TEST, CTE_TEST
WHERE TEST.PARFOLDERNO=CTE_TEST.FOLDERNO
)
SELECT PARFOLDERNO,FOLDERNO FROM CTE_TEST
PARFOLDERNO FOLDERNO
02461
24612463
24612462
24622465
24622466
24632469
24632470
The results are shown again in Oracle 9i and SQL Server 2005 as follwos:
Oracle 9i SQL Server 2005
PARFOLDERNO FOLDERNO PARFOLDERNO FOLDERNO
0 2461 0 2461
2461 2463 2461 2463
2463 2469 2461 2462
2463 2470 2462 2465
2461 2462 2462 2466
2462 2465 2463 2469
2462 2466 2463 2470
How can I get the result with the same sequence in SQL Server 2005?
