I've here a smaller problem of our porting from Sybase/Oracle/Informix
code to PostgreSQL; the code reads for the mentioned DBS:
#ifdef DBSORA
EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2,
karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
FROM land, devisen
WHERE land.wkz = devisen.wkz (+) AND land.brgroup =
devisen.brgroup (+) AND land.brgroup = :brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
ORDER BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif
#ifdef DBSSYB
EXEC SQL DECLARE land_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT stammprio, lkz, landbez, plkz, postbez, karenz1, karenz2,
karenz3, land.wkz, webez, we, kurs, land.del
FROM land, devisen
WHERE land.wkz *= devisen.wkz AND land.brgroup *=
devisen.brgroup AND land.brgroup = :brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
ORDER BY stammprio, landbez;
#endif
(the code for DBSPOS was just copied from Sybase). It compiles fine but
raises on execution en error about operator '*=' is not supported...
T-SQL (Sybase and SQL Server) uses *= for outer joins, just as Oracle uses (+)
Haven't used either of those outdated operators in decades, but I think the
equivalent would be:
FROM land
LEFT JOINdevisen
on land.wkz = devisen.wkz
AND land.brgroup = devisen.brgroup
AND land.brgroup = :brgroupHost_for_helpland_cursor
