Error while parsing Stored Procedure

Question

Hi all,
i try to migrate a MS SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle 9.2 with the Migration Workbench and got into trouble with some Stored Procedures, that contain LEFT JOINS on SELECT-Statements. While parsing the following example Stored Procedure sp_test, an parse-error occurs (ENCOUNTERED: LEFT):
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_test]
AS
SELECT
FROM
tbl_Test1 AS test1
LEFT JOIN (Select * From tbl_Test2 Where column1 IS NOT NULL) AS test2 ON test1.test2_id = test2.id
GO
If i run this command in SQL-Worksheet, the SP is created correctly.
If i modify the SP as it follows, no parse-error-occurs:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_test]
AS
SELECT
FROM
tbl_Test1 AS test1
LEFT JOIN tbl_Test2 AS test2 ON test1.test2_id = test2.id
GO
Is it a bug?
Thank you for help,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,
This has been logged as a bug      3635749.
There are no plans to fix this in the current release of the OMWB.
But the next release of the OMWB should cope with this issue.
Im afraid the workaround is to comment out the offending statement in the Source Model and reparse it to the Oracle Model. In the Oracle Model you will have to remove the comment and manually migrate the statement yourself.
