It is required to start on a new line, after the GRANT statement.Thanks to Steve Rhoads for this tip.--FredSee AlsoLast Updated: 6/6/1999Applies to:; MS SQL Server 6.5+The following are good sources of info about MS SQL Server:MS SQL Server books on the MSDN Library CD. --FredDifferences Between Oracle and MS SQL ServerConcepts and TerminologyLast Updated: 4/24/2001Applies to:; Oracle 7.3+, MS SQL Server 6.5+The following table shows some differences in concepts and terminology between Oracle and MS SQL Server:Concept/TermOracleMS SQL ServerDatabase enginedatabasedatabase serverDatabase (collection of tables)schemadatabaseRoles/GroupsrolesgroupsDatabase adminstrator account, database ownerdbasa, dboData about the databaseData Dictionary- one per serverDatabase Catalog- one per database'master' database- one per serverBlocks and extentsblocks and extentspages and extentsNetwork softwareSQL*NetNet-libraryData stream protocolTransparent Network Substrate (TNS)Tabular Data Stream (TDS) Case sensitivity of names of tables, columns, etc.case-insensitivedepends on character sort order, default is case-insensitiveSynonymssupportednot supportedReadonly transactionsupportednot supported--FredData TypesLast Updated: 6/6/1999Applies to:; Oracle 7.3+, MS SQL Server 6.5+The following table shows the corresponding data types in Oracle and MS SQL Server:Data TypeOracleMS SQL ServerFixed Length StringCHAR(n)- limit 2KBCHAR(n), CHARACTER(n)- limit 255 (6.5)- limit 8KB (7.0)Variable Length StringVARCHAR2(n), VARCHAR(n)- limit 4KB in a column- limit 32KB in a variable- VARCHAR is obsoleteVARCHAR(n), CHAR VARYING(n), CHARACTER VARYING(n)- limit 255 (6.5)- limit 8KB (7.0)IntegerINTEGER, INTEGER(n), SMALLINTINTEGER (4 bytes),INT (4 bytes),SMALLINT (2 bytes),TINYINT (1 byte),BIT (1 bit)Fixed PointNUMBER, NUMBER(n), NUMBER(n,d),FLOAT, FLOAT(n), FLOAT(n,d)NUMERIC, NUMERIC(n), NUMERIC(n,d),DECIMAL, DECIMAL(n), DECIMAL(n,d),DEC, DEC(n), DEC(n,d),MONEY, SMALLMONEYFloating PointDECIMALFLOAT, FLOAT(n), DOUBLE PRECISION,REAL, DateDATEDATETIME, SMALLDATETIME, TIMESTAMP- TIMESTAMP auto-updatedBinaryRAW(n)- limit 255 bytesBINARY(n), VARBINARY(n), BINARY VARYING(n)- limit 255 (6.5)- limit 8KB (7.0)Large StringLONG, LONG VARCHAR- limit 2GB- limit one per table rowCLOB- limit 4GBTEXT- limit 2GBLarge BinaryLONG RAW- limit 2GB- limit one per table rowBLOB- limit 4GBIMAGE- limit 2GBMulti-byte charsNCHAR(n)NVARCHAR(n)NCLOB- same limits as CHAR, VARCHAR, CLOBNCHAR(n), NATIONAL CHAR(n), NATIONAL CHARACTER(n)NVARCHAR(n), NATIONAL CHAR VARYING(n), NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING(n)NTEXT, NATIONAL TEXT- same limits as CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXTOS FileBFILE< not supported>Row Identifierimplicit ROWID column(use an IDENTITY column)Secure OS LabelMLSLABEL, RAW MLSLABEL<not supported>128-bit Unique Number(UUID, GUID) <not supported>UNIQUEIDENTIFIER (version 7.0 only)--FredLimitsLast Updated: 6/14/2000Applies to:; Oracle 7.3+, MS SQL Server 6.5+The following table shows differences in limits of Oracle and MS SQL Server:DescriptionOracleMS SQL ServerColumns per table1000250 (6.5)1024 (7.0)Row size unlimited1962 bytes (6.5)8060 bytes (7.0)- includes pointers, but not data, for TEXT and IMAGE columnsLONG and LONG RAW columns per row1 (must be last column)unlimited (16-byte pointer per)LOB, TEXT, and IMAGE columns per rowunlimited (16-byte pointer per)unlimited (16-byte pointer per)Clustered indexes per table11Non-clustered indexes per tableunlimited249Columns per index1616Index row size2K bytes900 bytesIdentifier Length30 chars30 chars (6.5)128 chars (7.0)Tables per SELECTunlimited16 (6.5)256 (7.0)Source code per stored procedure;64KB (6.5)250MB (7.0)Data type limits(see Data Types)--FredOperatorsLast Updated: 6/7/1999Applies to:; Oracle 7.3+, MS SQL Server 6.5+Most operators are the same in Oracle and MS SQL Server.; Here are some that differ:DescriptionOracleMS SQL ServerString concatenationstring1 string2string1 + string2--FredBuilt-In FunctionsLast Updated: 6/7/1999Applies to:; Oracle 7.3+, MS SQL Server 6.5+Oracle and MS SQL Server offer many of the same built-in functions.; For example, they both offer ABS, EXP, ROUND, UPPER, LOWER, AVG, COUNT, SUM, ASCII, etc.; The following table shows some of the corresponding functions that don't have the same name.

Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1993.; ISBN 0-201-62623-3.This book gives a good introduction to SQL, with a slight emphasis on Sybase, but with a useful summary in the back of the syntax for each of the SQL statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, GRANT, REVOKE, etc.) for each of the major databases (Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Informix, Ingres, etc.); The book pre-dates MS SQL Server, but the Sybase info is a good approximation since MS SQL Server is a derivative of Sybase.'Migrating Oracle Applications to SQL Server' on MSDN CD, and at MS TechNet Web site:http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/sql/Tools/Sqldevkt/ORCL2SQL.ASPMicrosoft clearly intended this to be used in one direction only, but I've used it quite successfully to translate my SQL Server knowledge to Oracle as well.
