Oracle and SQLServer 2005

[Arjun Reddy]

Hi all,

Till now, I have only been writing queries for Oracle database. Now I am planning to start writin queries for SQLServer 2005 database and I was wondering if the queries syntax would be same. Also if there is a good tutorial for SQLServer2005, Can someone please post a link here?

Thanks.

There is also extensive T-SQL documentation on MSDN.

But T-SQL is similar to Pl/sql right?/ My question is if the normal sql we use, the crud operations, joins etc... if their syntax is same for both oracle and sql server 2005.

Thanks.

Both servers support ANSI92 SQL, so assuming you have used ANSI92 SQL then yes, it should be fine.

If you have to support portability accross more than one database type you could look at JPA.
