sql server vs oracle help me
Can anyone help me re write this sql server code into Oracle PL/SQL code.. ...I am using oracle 8i which is quite old and i am not so good in coding.
UPDATE A
SET STDCOST = B.Cost
FROM Table_A A
INNER JOIN Table_B B
ON (A.ITEM = B.Item) AND (A.Location = B.Location) ;
PS: remember syntax (table_a inner join table_b) dont work in 8i
UPDATE A
SET STDCOST = B.Cost
FROM Table_A A, Table_B B WHERE
A.ITEM = B.Item AND A.Location = B.Location;
Thanks gurkha's but that dont seem to work in oracle 8i...maybe that works on higher version..anyone using oracle 8i..this shit is really frustrating.
piranha,
not sure in 8i, but can you try any one of the followings:
UPDATE
(
SELECT
A.STDCOST A_STDCOST,
B.COST B_COST
FROM
Table_A A,
Table_B B
WHERE
A.ITEM = B.Item AND
A.Location = B.Location
)
SET
A_STDCOST = B_COST;
(OR)
MERGE INTO Table_A A USING Table_B B
ON (A.ITEM = B.Item AND A.Location = B.Location)
WHEN MATCHED THEN A.STDCOST=B.COST ;
Thanks pkshr...it might work in later version and might even work in sql server..It dint work in my case...MERGE feature was introduced in 9i so i dint tried at all..maybe someday id use MERGE....thanks for tips ...... was .8i really sucks..
I really appreciate every ones help...even it could not match my solution i think it will be helpful sometime later..coz most of them might work on later versions...
SOLUTION : I used the cursor , looped and updated the table A...i hope this would work let me know if you have any other suggestions of comment on my solution.I know it takes too long.
declare
CURSOR
cur IS SELECT B.cost cost,A.item item,A.loc loc FROM table_a A, table_b B
WHERE
A.ITEM = B.Item AND A.LOC = B.Location;
BEGIN
FOR
C1 in cur
LOOP
UPDATE TABLE_A
SET STDCOST = c1.Cost
WHERE item = c1.item
AND loc = c1.loc;
END
LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
FYI: Case Statement dont work on PL/SQL of oracle 8i ..however it can be used with sql..
