Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Oracle NULL vs '' revisited
At last, given the attitude you have to get this one corrected I guess the
dozens of other errors won't get fixed, here are another two random ones...
One character set to another no equivalent
ORacle uses CONVERT
SQL Server uses COLLATE -> <character data> COLLATE <new collation>
Unicode string to a string no equivalent DECOMPOSE
We use CAST( <unicode> AS <ascii> ) eg. CAST( N'asadasasd' AS varchar(50) )
Infact many of your 'Conversion Functions' are tackled with CAST.
Anyway, you grow tiresome; I'll just work through the corrections myself and post it up when I've finished.
Where on earth did you learn SQL Server from? A packet of corn flakes?
