oracle to sql server translation

[bookouri]

I just wondered if anyone has ever run into anything like an Oracle to Sql Server translation faq? Ive been working with Oracle for years and may soon have to take on a Sql server database. If I could find some faq that explained the basics of sql server related to their Oracle counterparts it would speed things up considerable.

any suggestions regarding where to start would be appreciated...

This is a link I have been using for a bit in order to get a grasp on working with both DMSs. It may help you too!

This book covers both flavors of SQL. It won;t help with the admin stuff, but the program language differnces are a real help.

SQL in a Nutshell; Kevin and Daniel Kline; O'Reilly; Good solid SQL reference book, covers the various flavors of SQL including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQl databases. Has nice quick look table of the SQL Server specific functions. Can be helpful when converting from some other database to SQL Server.

Questions about posting. See faq183-874

thanks, i picked up one sql book that does that same kind of thing, and it really is helpful to see the different "flavors" side by side.. that's exactly what i need for the admin side now...


thanks again..
