Convert a SQL Server Update Statement for Oracle

Hi,
i need to convert an update statement written for SQL Server to make it work on Oracle,
the update is the following:
UPDATE     TABLE1
SET     CDate = TBL2.CDate
FROM      TABLE1 TBL1
          JOIN TABLE2 TBL2 ON TBL2.Code = TBL1.TBL2Code
          JOIN TABLE3 TBL3 ON TBL3.Id = TBL1.Id
WHERE     TBL3.TypeCode = '07'
how can i make it compatible with oracle?
thanks!!

<snipped>Dislike such an approach that requires multiple hits on the same tables. This is never scalable. A key performance issue is to do only one pass through a data set when possible and not do multiple passes.Yes i understand. But to do a update on a join the table must be a Key Preserved Table. And for a normal Update it is necessory to have an EXISTS clause so that we dont update the non-matching rows to NULL.

    It would have helped if you had posted your code.
    To create tables in procedures, you can use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. For example, if within a procedure, you want to:
    CREATE TABLE table_name
    (column1 NUMBER,
    column2 VARCHAR2 (30),
    column3 DATE);
    Then, from within a procedure you can:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure_name
    AS
    BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE table_name
    (column1 NUMBER,
    column2 VARCHAR2 (30),
    column3 DATE)';
    END procedure_name;
    EXEC procedure_name
    For the procedure to count the number of business days between two input dates, see the following link:

  • Problem converting captured SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle

    Java(TM) Platform     1.6.0_17
    Oracle IDE     2.1.1.64.45
    Versioning Support     2.1.1.64.45
    After creating MWREP user, granting it privileges and creating the migration repository, I have captured a small SQL Server 2000 database (1 table), but after performing "Convert to Oracle", I get the message that it has transformed correctly, but no converted model is shown. I was originally using the JRE supplied with SQL Developer 2.1.1, but replaced that with 1.6 U17 after researching the problem here.
    The only message in the Migration Log is as follows:
    Catalog RAC, Schema dbo coalesced to single schema dbo_RAC
    The following message appears in the console:
    SELECT DISTINCT(REF_ID_FK), REF_TYPE FROM MD_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES WHERE PROP_KEY IN (?) AND CONNECTION_ID_FK = ?
    I have tried this with a more complex database, with no luck.
    Any thoughts?

    I did an offline capture.
    I used Tools->Migration->Third Party Database Offline Capture->Create Database Capture Scripts to generate scripts OMWB_OFFLINE_CAPTURE.BAT, SS2K_BCP_SCRIPT.BAT and sqlserver2000.ocp. Then the SQL Server DBA ran OMWB_OFFLINE_CAPTURE.BAT and sent me the output.
    I used Tools->Migration->Third Party Database Offline Capture->Load Database Capture Scripts Output to capture the model into the repository successfully.

  • Problem : SQL Server Delete Statement vs Oracle Delete Statement

    Hi,
    I am currently involved in a SQL Server - Oracle Migration effort and I have hit a roadblock on one of the queries.

  • Error converting SQL Server text field to Oracle CLOB

    I am trying to convert an SQL Server DB to Oracle DB using DB link. The issue I am facing is one of the SQL Server table contains text field and we are trying to convert the text field to CLOB.
    The error I am getting is "SQL Error: ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype"
    The statement is something like this.
    Insert into oracle_table
    Select col_1,col_2,col_3,col_4,col_5 from sql_table@sqldblink;
    Please help.

    Hi,
      This is a known restriction involving long columns -
    (1) LONG datatype not supported with use of DBLINK when insert or update involves a select statement
    (2) LONG datatype cannot be used in a WHERE clause, in INSERT into ... SELECT ... FROM
    constructs, and in snapshots.
    The workround is to use a PL/SQL procedure or try the SQLPLUS COPY command.

    First, a basic concept. That also illustrates how different Oracle is (and PL/SQL) from SQL-Server (and T-SQL).
    PL/SQL integrates two different languages. The PL language. The SQL language. It allows you to code SQL source code natively inside the PL language. The PL compiler is clever enough to do the rest - make calls to the SQL engine to create SQL cursors, bind PL variable values to bind variables in the SQL code. Etc.
    PL is a "proper" programming language. It is much like Pascal (it is based on Ada, a close family member of Pascal). It is nothing at all like T-SQL.
    Okay, now for the very basic rule for Oracle development.
    Maximize SQL. This means using the SQL language to crunch data. It is the "closest" to the data. It is designed and optimised for dealing with data. Do your data processing using SQL.
    Minimize PL/SQL. This means using the PL language not to crunch data, but to provide the conditional logic. Implement business rules. And then have the SQL language crunch the data as the data processing language.
    Attempting to directly translate T-SQL code into PL/SQL is flawed. It is like trying to make coffee with teabags. Yeah, the tea may have caffeine it, but it is not coffee.
    To do what that T-SQL script does, insert a row into a table, a typical PL/SQL equivalent will look as follows:
    create or replace procedure InsertMaster( masterRow master%rowtype ) authid definer is
    .. types and variables declared here
    begin
      -- masterRow is a record structure that matches the actual MASTER table
      .. apply business rules and validation to the data.. raising user exceptions as needed
      -- e.g. the POSITION column must be upper case
      masterRow.position := upper(masterRow.position);
      -- after the business logic and data validation we can add the row to the table
      -- (PL will make the INSERT call to the SQL engine)
      insert into master values masterRow;
    end;No commit. The caller does the business transaction. It needs to decide when to commit to maintain the integrity of the data in the database. It may need to do several more calls, before committing.
    With this approach, we can give the application schema (the caller) execute privs on this procedure. This procedure is defined with definer rights. This means it runs with the privs of owner of that procedure and MASTER table. It is trusted code. It does all the correct stuff to add a valid and checked row to the MASTER table. So we give the app schema execute privs on the procedure and no insert priv on the MASTER table.
    The only way the caller can add row to the MASTER table is via this trusted procedure of ours.
    And this is a typical approach in Oracle - using the PL/SQL (both PL language and SQL language) code to create an interface to a logical database in Oracle. Abstracting the complexities of SQL from the caller. Moving business and validation into PL. Allowing us the flexibility of modifying business and validation logic, without touching a single byte of caller/client code. Allowing us to manage and tune SQL performance without dealing with (badly designed and coded) SQL from a client - as the SQL resides in PL/SQL packages and procedures and functions.

  • Sql Server Management Assistant (SSMA) Oracle okay for large database migrations?

    All:
    We don't have much experience with the SSMA (Oracle) tool and need some advice from those of you familiar with it.  We must migrate an Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 database to SQL Server 2014.  The Oracle database consists of approximately 25,000 tables and 30,000
    views and related indices.  The database is approximately 2.3 TB in size.
    Is this do-able using the latest version of SSMA-Oracle?  If so, how much horsepower would you throw at this to get it done?
    Any other gotchas and advice appreciated.
    Kindest Regards,
    Bill
    Bill Davidson

    Hi
    Bill,
    SSMA supports migrating large database of Oracle. To migrate Oracle database to SQL Server 2014, you could use the latest version:
    Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle. Before the migration, you should pay attention to the points below.
    1.The account that is used to connect to the Oracle database must have at least CONNECT permissions. This enables SSMA to obtain metadata from schemas owned by the connecting user. To obtain metadata for objects in other schemas and then convert objects
    in those schemas, the account must have the following permissions: CREATE ANY PROCEDURE, EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE, SELECT ANY TABLE, SELECT ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY TYPE, CREATE ANY TRIGGER, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY.
    2.Metadata about the Oracle database is not automatically refreshed. The metadata in Oracle Metadata Explorer is a snapshot of the metadata when you first connected, or the last time that you manually refreshed metadata. You can manually update metadata
    for all schemas, a single schema, or individual database objects. For more information about the process, please refer to the similar article: 
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313203(v=sql.110).
    3.The account that is used to connect to SQL Server requires different permissions depending on the actions that the account performs as the following:
     • To convert Oracle objects to Transact-SQL syntax, to update metadata from SQL Server, or to save converted syntax to scripts, the account must have permission to log on to the instance of SQL Server.
     • To load database objects into SQL Server, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role. This is required to install CLR assemblies.
     • To migrate data to SQL Server, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role. This is required to run the SQL Server Agent data migration packages.
     • To run the code that is generated by SSMA, the account must have Execute permissions for all user-defined functions in the ssma_oracle schema of the target database. These functions provide equivalent functionality of Oracle system functions, and
    are used by converted objects.
     • If the account that is used to connect to SQL Server is to perform all migration tasks, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the  similar article: 
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313158(v=sql.110)
    4.Metadata about SQL Server databases is not automatically updated. The metadata in SQL Server Metadata Explorer is a snapshot of the metadata when you first connected to SQL Server, or the last time that you manually updated metadata. You can manually update
    metadata for all databases, or for any single database or database object.
    5.If the engine being used is Server Side Data Migration Engine, then, before you can migrate data, you must install the SSMA for Oracle Extension Pack and the Oracle providers on the computer that is running SSMA. The SQL Server Agent service must also
    be running. For more information about how to install the extension pack, see Installing Server Components (OracleToSQL). And when SQL Express edition is used as the target database, only client side data migration is allowed and server side data migration
    is not supported. For more information about the process, please refer to the  similar article: 
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313202(v=sql.110)
    For how to migrate Oracle Databases to SQL Server, please refer to the  similar article:

    Could any please help why is this happening.

    Hi,
       You have customers who are running distributed transactions using a gateway which need to be rolled back.  However, the gateway has not been correctly configured for distributed transactions.  To roll back a transaction on the SQL*Server database a connection is made as the user defined in the parameter  HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT in the gateway init<sid>.ora file but this user has not been created in the SQL*Server database with the password defined in HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD. This user also needs to own the transaction log table.
    I assume you are using the Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL) as the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) doesn't support distributed transaction.
    If you have access to My Oracle Support have a look at this note -
    How to Setup DG4MSQL to Use Distributed Transactions (Doc ID 227011.1)
    Otherwise, check the Gateway documentation.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • How to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle

    Hi all,
    Please anybody tell me how to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle.
    I've made an hsodbc connection and i can do insert, update, fetch data in sql server from oracle. But calling SP gives error. when I tried an SP at oracle that has line like
    "dbo"."CreateReceipt"@hsa
    where CreateReceipt is the SP of sql server and hsa is the DSN, it gives the error that "dbo"."CreateReceipt" should be declared.
    my database version is 10g
    Please help me how can i call it... I need to pass some parameters too to the SP
    thanking you

    hi,
    thank you for the response.
    when i call the sp using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH, without parameters it works successfully, but with parameters it gives the following error
    ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
    [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index (SQL State: S1093; SQL Code: 0)
    my code is,
    declare
    c INTEGER;
    nr INTEGER;
    begin
    c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@hsa;
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@hsa(c, 'Create_Receipt(?,?)');
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,1,'abc');
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,2,'xyz');
    nr:=DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@hsa(c);
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@hsa(c);
    end;
    Create_Receipt is the sp which requires two parameters.
    please give me a solution
    thanking you

  • Migrating SQL Server 6.5 to Oracle 8

    Hi,
    I am currently converting some stored procedures from SQL Server 6.5 to Oracle 8 (PL/SQL). I am having trouble converting some nested sql statements such as the following to work in Oracle.
    Example :
    SELECT antall=COUNT(*), ulest=(SELECT ulest=COUNT(*) FROM soknad s, annonse
    a WHERE a.kundeid=13817 AND s.annonseid=a.id and lest != '1') FROM soknad s,
    annonse a WHERE a.kundeid=13817 AND s.annonseid=a.id
    The Select is first getting a count on the two tables for a particular id, the second field in the statement has a nested select which does a similar count but has a further condition on it.
    It could be done using two SELECT statements like this -
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS antall
    FROM soknad s, annonse a
    WHERE a.kundeid = 13817
    AND s.annonseid = a.id
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM soknad s, annonse a
    WHERE a.kundeid=13817
    AND s.annonseid=a.id
    AND lest != '1'
    which may be workable but I would like to keep it as similar to the original as much as possible.
    Any ideas would be great!
    Thanks,
    Brad

    I have since found out subqueries in the select list are not supported by Oracle.

    Hi,
    This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
    Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
    Server Configuration Manager(Local) 
    From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
    SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed" 
    If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account. 
    Hello,
    Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
    To resolve it, follow these steps:-
    When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
    been created. Check the Services console.
    If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
    1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
    it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
    Use this link to change sql server service account
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
    2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
    3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
    4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
    5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
    6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
    Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
    7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
    You should be able to log in to the server now.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Are you migrating or taking continual updates?
    If migrating it might be worth considering The SQLDeveloper Migration Workbench (which moves more than just data)..

    We plan on having a beta version of this capability in early
    August. Contact [email protected] if you want to register as
    a Beta tester.
    Yes, you can update the Oracle model in OMW to remove those
    tables you are not interested in, you can also select to just
    migrate tables & data and nothing else.

  • Migration SQL Server 6.5 to Oracle 8.0.5

    I am migrating from SQL Server 6.5 to Oracle 8.0.5 using
    migration Workbench Ver. 1.2.2. The stored procedures are not
    migrated properly where temporary tables are used to store the
    intermediate results of a query on SQL Server 6.5 side. I want
    to look at the coding to create a temporary table with sessionid
    as part of table to make it unique for the session and the user
    on the oracle side using DBMS_SQL package. Any body can give me
    the coding ?

    I have used the correct option and the Migration Workbench is
    not creating the DDL statements correctly for the creation of
    table. Whatever may be the problem I want use DBMS_SQL for
    creation of unique table names with session id as part of the
    table name. I need a sample script to use session id as part of
    table name and to vary the name of the table dynamically in
    DBMS_SQL. It is not accepting the variable name for table name
    in create table statement.

    I have doubt like....
    1.Can i install 32 bit oracle also at (S1) 64 bit SQL Server(SSIS)

    Hi,
    I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
    The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
    Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
    Could suggest a way to get this working?
    Thanks
    Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".
