Converting SQL Server Query to Oracle

Hello TechFriends,
Can any one of u please tell me equivalent of following SQL Server Query?
The same query runs in Oracle but givesa same reocrds in different order!! I want such an equivalent oracle query that gives records in same order as Sql Server does.
select
ProfValue_ProfScaleFK ProfScale,
ProfValue_Value ProfValue,
isnull(ProfValueDesc.name, ProfValue_name) ProfName
from
ProfValueDesc inner join TBL_LMS_Lang
on lang_fk = lang_pk and langid = 'en'
right outer join ProfValue
on ProfValue_ProfScaleFK = ProfScale_fk and ProfValue_Value = ProfValue_FK ;
Regards & TIA.
Anand.

If you want a specific ordering why don't you add an ORDER BY clause?

Convert this sql server query to Oracle?

I've some SQL Server queries that I need to make a copy for to run against Oracle databases. (10G), any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
You could use the 'Translation Scratch Editor' in SQL*Developer to translate SQL*Server statements to Oracle.
SQL*Developer is free and can be downloaded from here -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html
Once installed start it up, then go to 'Tools' - 'Migration' - 'Translation Scratch Editor'
I did run the statement you have posted here through it but it gave errors so looks like there may be a problem with the syntx in any case.
Does this query run as it is in SQL*Server ?
Regards,
Mike

Convert Sql server Storeprocedure to Oracle Storeprocedure

Hi I vant to convert a sql server storeprocedures to oracle storeprocedure .
I need a convertor if anybody know a aplication that performed it please tell me.

Hi Hoek,
I have tried this:
1. Get the DATETIME into a VARCHAR2 variable.
2a. Then, I use a TIMESTAMP variable and TO_TIMESTAMP like this:
v_tmst := TO_TIMESTAMP (r_typ.date1, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24');2b. Or the function CAST:
v_tmst := CAST (r_typ.date1 AS TIMESTAMP);Same result, I lose the HH:MI:SS.FFF just in the moment the DATETIME from SQL Server is copied into an Oracle VARCHAR2 variable.
I also read the article you linked (I also read it before I wrote the 1st posting, but not with deep detail).
I'm afraid this cannot help me, or at least I'm not able to find out how.
They talk about ODI, but I'm not using that tool.
Moreover, they talk about creating a table, but they don't say anything regarding the conversion itself and how to get the miliseconds.
Don't know whether there is something I can take from here or not.
Anyway, thank you for the repply.
Francisco.

Converting MS SQL Server Query to Oracle Query

Hi There,
I've a strange problem. My project uses both MS SQL Server and Oracle server at run time. I've lot of queries which are written in MS SQL Style. Now, iam planning to write a helper class whic converts MS SQL Query to Oracle Query. Please Help me if any one has that kind of Helper with you.
Thanks And Regards,
Sasi Kanth

That is why persistence applications like Hibernate or
CMP get used for apps that will use more than one DB,
but it takes upfront planning.
If you have a set of automated unit tests that work
with SQL Server, they will be a big help in getting
your Oracle code up and running.Indeed - JUnit and Ant would be a big help here.
It sounds like you have SQL in your JSPs, that will
work against you as well if so. If you are using a
DAO pattern, this will be much easier, as you can
re-implement each DAO for Oracle.If you'd layered this app properly, you might just implement an OracleDAOFactory and be done with it. Interfaces and a DAO layer would go a long way.
This is why layering is such a good idea. It isolates changes in a smaller subset of classes.
But your problem sounds pretty big. It'd be daunting even if it were well designed.

Variable database name in SQL Server query using Oracle database link

Hi All,
I have an ApEx 4.1 app running on 11g x64 (11.2.0.1) on Windows Server 2008 x64, and I have some data integration points with a SQL Server (2005 and 2008) that I need to establish. I have configured the database link with dg4odbc and it works beautifully... I can execute queries against the SQL Server database without any problems using the database link.
However, there is a scenario where the SQL Server database name is dynamic, and I need to generate it on the fly in a PL/SQL block, and then use that in a dynamic SQL query (all of this in ApEx). This is where I run into problems... when I am querying the default database based on the ODBC connection and I don't have to specify the database name, there is no issue. But when I need to access one of several other non-default databases, I keep receiving the "invalid table" error.
This runs fine:* (note that "fv" is the name of my database link)
v_query1 := 'select "ReleaseDate" from dbo.Schedules@fv where dbo.Schedules."SchedID" = :schedule';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query1 into rel_date using schedule;
I then take that rel_date variable, convert to a varchar2 (rel_date_char), and then use it as the database name in the next query...
This returns an error_ (Error ORA-00903: invalid table name)
v_query2 := 'select "PARTNO" from :rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID" = :schedule and "UnitID" = :unit
and "MasterKey" = :master and "ParentKey" = :parent';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query2 into part_number using schedule, unit, master, parent;
I have also tried using all of the following to no avail:
'select "PARTNO" from ' || :rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || @rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from @rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
Is there a way to do this in PL/SQL?
Thanks for any help!

Now using variables to perform the select:

=> instead of executing the statement using "execute Immediate" we have to use PASTHROUGH package to pass the statement to the SQL Server.

ORA-01841 Converting SQL Server DateTime to Oracle Date

I have Oracle 11gR2 x64 running on my Win7 Enterprise x64 personal system. I'm trying to convert the TSQL to create a database in SQL Server 2008 Express for my C# class to Oracle, and I've run into a "interesting" problem loading date data.
The SQL Server 2008 TSQL InvoiceDate column in the Invoices table has datatype DATETIME:
*[InvoiceDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,*
which Oracle does not support. The Oracle InvoiceDate column in the MMAB_Invoices table has datatype DATE:
InvoiceDate DATE NOT NULL,
The fun begins with the TSQL INSERT statements (for example):
INSERT [dbo].[Invoices] ([InvoiceID], [CustomerID], [InvoiceDate], [ProductTotal], [SalesTax], [Shipping], [InvoiceTotal]) VALUES (18, 20, CAST(0x00009CFD00000000 AS DateTime), 151.0000, 11.3300, 6.2500, 168.5800)
As you can see, whoever wrote the load script thought it would be totally awesome to convert hex (binary?) data to generate a date, instead of using data readable by a human being.
BTW, the date generated is 2010-01-13 00:00:00.000.
After Reading The Fabulous Manual and searching the OTN Discussion Fora, what I came up with is
INSERT INTO MMAB_Invoices (CustomerID, InvoiceDate, ProductTotal, SalesTax, Shipping, InvoiceTotal) VALUES (20, TO_DATE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(HEXTORAW('00009CFD00000000')), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS'), 151.0000, 11.3300, 6.2500, 168.5800);
which returned
Error starting at line 846 in command:
INSERT INTO MMAB_Invoices (CustomerID, InvoiceDate, ProductTotal, SalesTax, Shipping, InvoiceTotal) VALUES (20, TO_DATE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(HEXTORAW('00009CFD00000000')), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS'), 151.0000, 11.3300, 6.2500, 168.5800)
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
*01841. 00000 - "(full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0"*
**Cause: Illegal year entered*
**Action: Input year in the specified range*
The PK InvoiceID is automatically generated by a BEFORE INSERT trigger that uses a sequence.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
P.S. Happy New Year!!!

Your hex conversion is certainly not returning a date format:
sql> select UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(HEXTORAW('00009CFD00000000')) from dual;
UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(HEXTORAW('00009CFD00000000'))
┐²To convert the hex number to decimal, simply use to_number:
sql> select to_number('00009CFD00000000', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('00009CFD00000000','XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
1.7261E+14Now, before you can make any further calculations with that number, you need to know how it represents the date of 2010-01-13. Luckily, we've got Google nowadays. ;-)
Sql server representation seems to be an 8 byte field. The first 4 bytes stores the number of days since SQL Server's epoch (1st Jan 1900). The second 4 bytes stores the number of milliseconds after midnight.
sql> select to_number('00009CFD', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('00009CFD','XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
40189
sql> select to_date('1900-01-01','yyyy-mm-dd') + 40189 from dual;
TO_DATE('
13-JAN-10So, the conversion would be something like this:
sql> select to_date('1900-01-01','yyyy-mm-dd') + to_number(substr('00009CFD00000000',1,8), 'xxxxxxxx') + to_number(substr('00009CFD00000000',9,8), 'xxxxxxxx') / (24*60*60*1000) from dual;
TO_DATE('
13-JAN-10Note: Oracle DATE format specifies a datetime up to the second, whereas the sqlserver DATETIME format specifies a datetime up to the millisecond; if that precision is needed, use Oracle's TIMESTAMP instead.
Note: using an internal representation is risky, implementation details may change. In this case, it seems pretty unlikely that Microsoft will ever change the datetime internal representation, since that would break lots and lots of code.

Convert Sql server database into oracle

hi friends
i have a very smal database of sql server containing 8 tables
i want to convert my databse into oracle plz tell me in detail coz i dont know any thing about it.
plz help me
take care
bye

If the amount of data is small, you might look into Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS), which comes with SQL Server. This provides an easy to use GUI for mapping data between two sources.
A few warnings:
- If you let DTS create your Oracle tables, beware that that table / column names may be created as case-sensitive and data types may not be what you expect
- If you are transferring a lot of data (e.g. millions of rows), performance will be terrible.

Converting SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9i

Hi,
I am working on the migration of stored procs from a SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle 9i. The sqlsrvr db contains 75 relatively complex procs using temporary tables to create intermediate resultsets for further processing.
The Oracle 9i environment has very strictly standards and temporary tables are not allowed.
Is it standard practice to use PL/SQL tables to simulate the functionality of temp tables?
I understand you can now use SQL against PL/SQL tables under certain circumstances.
I would envisage using the PL/SQL tables in multi-table joins with schema tables.
Any ideas whether I am going down the wrong path.
Thanks in advance,
Garrett Donnelly

Garrett,
Note that there is also an parser option to 'Generate8i temp tables', where the data in the permanent tables is seperated from other sessions by the use of an extra Session id colum.
Please post the results of your PL/SQL table experiences.
Regards,
Turloch

SQL Server Image to Oracle

I'm converting SQL Server Tables to Oracle using MWB 9.2. The tables contain images (data type "image"). I get the following error from the MWB generated scripts:
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of DISPLAY_IMAGE field specification
The column definition in the .ctl file is:
DISPLAY_IMAGE NEXT ***** CHARACTER
Maximum field length is 2000000
Terminator string : '<ec>'
SQL string for column : "HEXTORAW (:DISPLAY_IMAGE)"

Kelly,
The OMWB only supports inline data transfer of image types to LONG RAW via SQL*Loader.
You should be ablr to use TO_LOB() to convert the LONG to LOB.
The error you have is what you get when you try yo migrate to BLOB. TO use SQL*Loader
with BLOB you would need to have unload each image into a seperate file and the OMWB
doen't help you do this. bcp dumps the image data in hex (hence the HEXTORAW sql function),
I don't know how bcp would dump this as binary.

Ah, just spotted it's a delete statement - you won't be able to do it using subquery factoring in Oracle.
I had a go at trying to convert for you, but notice that you reference the cte from inside the cte... I can only assume you have a table called cte too...
DELETE FROM dbo.tb1
WHERE col1 = 12
OR col2 IN (SELECT col1 FROM cte)

Query Perofmance is much more fast in SQL server 2000 than Oracle 9i

I have converted a database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle (9.0.2).
In a stored procedure a query based on 4 tables working well in SQL Server which takes just 1 or 2 minutes to give result But in Oracle it takes 3 to 4 Hours to return the results.Although Database hit ratio is 99 plus %. In Oracle when i created indexes on 2 columns of 2 tables it just take 5 to 10 sec. But I want to get the result in less time without indexes. Because in
SQL Server it Works well without indexes.
Please reply me with some solutions or reasons

Most sites have a job that runs every night to keep the statistics up to date.Really? I would be very surprised if that was the case. Firstly, many sites don't want to take the hit of running stats for a whole system each night. Secondly, I would hope that many DBAs know this statement...
Always keep up to date statistics if you want your database to be efficent. ...is wrong.
The best that can happen from refreshing the statistics every night is that it makes no difference to your application. If your application is running nicely - that is, no users are yelling at you - then your current statistics are good enough. Refreshing statistics introduces instability into the system and might lead to queries performing worse than before.
Gathering stats is not the sort of thing you want to do with a scattergun. Analyze your database once, after you've reached what is a representative data volume and then leave it alone. Only refresh statistics if you have a specific issue (user complaint) and you think stale statistics might be the cause.
Cheers, APC
