subqueries in sql server2000

  • Hai friends ,

    i ve one doubt in subqueries in oracle

    select col1,col2 from @tab1 where(col2,col3) in(select col2,min(col3) from @tab1 group by col2)

    while i am executing these query gives output.....

    as the same query em executing in sql server 2000 show error on place of where....

    what is the problem please explain me

  • A better way to write that query is

    Select

    Col1

    ,Col2

    From

    @tab1 t1

    INNER JOIN (Select Col2,Min(Col3) Col3

    FROM @tab1

    group by Col2) sc1

    on t1.Col2=sc1.Col2

    AND t1.Col3=sc1.Col3

    This should perform as per the oracle query and give the same results.

    Its just one of those Oracle vs MSSQL T-SQL quirks that exists. I cant offer an explination as I dont know enough about Oracle to comment on it.

    Oracle and SQL Server both have some proprietary syntax.

    where (col2,col3) in...

    is not SQL Server syntax.

  • Wrong syntax.....

    You need to use both the columns seperately in the WHERE clause

    Like this..

    WHERE COL1 IN (SELECT COL1 FROM.....)

    AND COL2 IN(SELECT COL2 FROM........)

    Actually, to emulate the multiple column IN syntax of Oracle you need to use the INNER JOIN that Jason-299789 provided with the subquery as a derived table in the FROM clause.
