Thread: SQL Syntax problem

SQL Syntax problem

From
Doris Bernloehr
Date:
Hello.

I've got a problem in porting the following select statement from Oracle to 
Postgres, because of the characters after "b.bet_id" and "f.ask_id" in the 
where clause: (+)
I don't know what these characters mean and how I can transform these into 
PostgreSql Syntax.


select        ...
from         auswahlkatalog k, anspruchkorrektur a, beteiligter b, v_betkorr f
where           k.awk_id = a.awk_id and b.bet_id(+) = a.bet_idemp    and a.ask_id = f.ask_id(+);


Hoping for help.
Doris

This kind of conditions are left or right joins, depending on which side of the equal sign you have the (+).<br /><br

anspruchkorrektura ON (k.awk_id = a.awk_id),<br /> LEFT JOIN beteiligter b ON (b.bet_id = a.bet_idemp),<br /> RIGHT
JOINv_betkorr f ON (a.ask_id = f.ask_id)<br /><br /> should give you the same results.<br /><br /> On Sun, 2003-09-28

This  (+)  means JOIN
e.g. (+)-marked equations used as a joining condition

To translate it to PGSQL syntax simply remove (+)
:-)
(only one thing i forgot: isn't it OUTER JOIN?...)

Means OUTER JOIN but I don't remember the side.

Not exactly see above

Hi Doris,
In oracle (+) is left outer join or right outer join .
You need to write:
select        ...
from            auswahlkatalog k,  beteiligter b left outer join anspruchkorrektur a
on(b.bet_id = a.bet_idemp) left outer join v_betkorr f on (a.ask_id = f.ask_id)
where           k.awk_id = a.awk_id ;

regards,
ivan.
