Oracle function to SQL Server conversion












0















I have simplified a case below which is a function in Oracle. For some reason I need to test this on a SQL Server database and I'm lost as I don't know much about SQL Server and while I know I need to demonstrate how I have tried, my conversion to SQL has been so pathetic that almost every single character is flagged as error and in red!



Could somebody please give me a hint on how to do this. It is basically to create a comma separated list using two tables. So simple and yet so frustrating! Please be gentle...it's my first SQL post :-)



CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION ListOfOrdersFunction
(inputKey IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS orderNumbers VARCHAR2(3000);

BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT
LISTAGG (selection.order_number, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY selection.customer_id)
OVER(PARTITION BY selection.customer_id)
INTO orderNumbers
FROM (
SELECT
customers.customerId AS customer_id
,orders.orderNumber AS order_number
FROM customberTable customers
LEFT JOIN ordersTable orders ON orders.order_key = customers.order_key
WHERE
customers.customerId = inputKey
) selection;
RETURN orderNumbers
END;

  • @Rasul in SQL Server you can add Linked Server to an Oracle database server. So add a linked server and then you have the database and also it's functions in SQL Server.
