Migration Index from Oracle.

Question

Hi,
I want to convert the below mentioned index from oracle  to SQL Server.
create index IDX_XXX on ASSETTABLE (TRUNC(TIME_STAMP), ASSET_ID)
I try to use CAST function instead of
Trunc, but it shows Error. Please Provide a solution for me.

Perhaps you should hire a consultant.  Your questions assumes that the people who frequent this forum know Oracle functionality and PL-SQL - which isn't very likely.  You might be more likely to receive useful responses if you can at least identify
what TRUNC does and what datatypes are involved.  I will also suggest that you reconsider some basic assumptions that you may have made - specifically that you can translate on a 1-for-1 basis every feature / code snippet in Oracle to a similar feature
in SQL Server.  It may be that you need to modify your schema to achieve a similar implementation (or perhaps maybe you don't need a particular feature/implementation at all).  I also suggest that you avoid using reserved words (or ones very
similar to reserved words) as identifiers - specifically "TIME_STAMP").  If you haven't yet, you should read the documentation regarding the timestamp datatype just to make sure that you understand what that datatype is - there might be a surprise waiting
for you.
