Migration from Sybase SAP SQL Anywhere to SQL Server 2022

  • We are working on a project to migrate a client from a version of SAP Sql Anywhere (Sybase) to SQL Server 2022.

    However, we have encountered a challenge.

    The current application calls stored procedures and passes parameters, e.g.

    CALL TheStoredProc @a, @b-2+@c, @d

    However, to my knowledge, SQL cannot receive parameters that contain mathematical operators.

    Does anyone know how we can get this working (we are not allowed to change the vendor's application).

  • If that is the syntax that the app will use, and you cannot change it, won't it fail anyway, because of the 'CALL'?

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • you will need to speak with vendor - and see if the application is already prepared to work with SQL Server  instead of Sybase. It may well be just a case of installing a different version of the application or maybe changing configurations (or a reinstall with SQL Server as the target db)
