Oracle to T-SQL CTE conversion errors - sql

Having trouble converting Oracle syntax to T-SQL. Trying to convert the following statement:
SELECT *
FROM (WITH NEW_USERS AS (SELECT WPP.USER_ID
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM WPP
MINUS
SELECT PP.USER_ID FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_PARTICIPANT_DIM PP)
SELECT EWP.USER_ID
,EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM EWP
INNER JOIN NEW_USERS N
ON (EWP.USER_ID = N.USER_ID)
WHERE EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG = 1)
Conversion attempt:
SELECT *
FROM (WITH NEW_USERS AS (SELECT WPP.USER_ID
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM WPP
EXCEPT
SELECT PP.USER_ID FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_PARTICIPANT_DIM PP)
SELECT EWP.USER_ID
,EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM EWP
INNER JOIN NEW_USERS N
ON (EWP.USER_ID = N.USER_ID)
WHERE EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG = 1)
SQL Server returned the following errors:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WITH'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

SQL Server does not allow for CTE in subquery:
WITH NEW_USERS AS (SELECT WPP.USER_ID
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM WPP
EXCEPT -- Oracle has MINUS
SELECT PP.USER_ID
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_PARTICIPANT_DIM PP)
SELECT EWP.USER_ID
,EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG
FROM DSS_ERS_STAGE.ES_W_PARTICIPANT_DIM EWP
INNER JOIN NEW_USERS N
ON (EWP.USER_ID = N.USER_ID)
WHERE EWP.CANDIDATE_1_0_FLAG = 1;
Second thing: SQL Server has EXCEPT keyword instead of MINUS.

Select column based on another column value

I have a query that I would like to select a different column based on a value billback_id. If billback_id = 3 then I want to select bhh.ctv otherwise I want bsih.total. Is this possible in a join?
select
bsih.invoice_amount,
case when bhh.billback_id = 3 then bhh.ctv else bsih.total end as bsih.total
from [movement].[dbo].[billback_header_history] as bhh
left join
(select invoice_number, invoice_extension,store_number, sum(ctv) as total
from [movement].[dbo].[bsih]
where ctv <> 0
group by invoice_number, invoice_extension, store_number
) as bsih
on bhh.invoice_number = bsih.invoice_number
where last_movement_update between '2022/01/08' and '2022/01/14'
error
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 111 Incorrect syntax near the keyword
'if'. Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 111 Incorrect syntax near the
keyword 'then'. Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 119 Incorrect syntax
near the keyword 'as'.
In SQL, you can use case (instead of if) in the select.
The statement is:
case when {condition1} then {result1} when {condition2} then {result2} else {result3} end.
So, we could have:
select
bsih.invoice_amount,
case when bhh.billback_id = 3 then bhh.ctv
else bhih.total end as col2
from [movement].[dbo].[billback_header_history] as bhh
left join (
select invoice_number, invoice_extension,store_number, sum(ctv) as total
from [movement].[dbo].[bsih]
where ctv <> 0
group by invoice_number, invoice_extension, store_number
) as bsih on bhh.invoice_number = bsih.invoice_number
where last_movement_update between '2022/01/08' and '2022/01/14'

Incorrect syntax near ')' Error in the CTE

I wrote the following CTE (Common Table Expression)
WITH PRODUCTION_CTE(ShortProdNo,BoatRefNumber,ProdNo, CustomerPoNumber,LoadDate, Trailer, VeadaBuilding)
AS
(
SELECT
FBS.BoatNumber AS ShortProdNo,
UOD.BoatRefNumber AS BoatRefNumber,
FBS.ProdNo AS ProdNo,
UOD.CustomerPoNumber AS CustomerPoNumber,
FBS.Shipped AS LoadDate,
FBS.TruckNum AS Trailer,
(CASE
WHEN Rtrim(UOD.CustomerPoNumber)='VEADA-VS1' THEN 'Bldg10'
ELSE 'Bldg4'
END) AS VeadaBuilding
FROM SysproCompanyV.dbo.FlatBenningtonShipping as FBS
INNER JOIN SysproCompanyV.dbo.UsrOrderDetails as UOD
ON FBS.BoatNumber=UOD.BoatRefNumber)
I am getting the following Error from the above CTE:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 17
Incorrect syntax near ')'.
I am not sure why it is happening as Inner Joins are allowed in the CTE, all the parenthesis are closed and the names are correctly declared.
You need to call the CTE (i.e. PRODUCTION_CTE) IMMEDIATE after declaration :
;with PRODUCTION_CTE as (
. . .
)
select pc.*
from PRODUCTION_CTE pc

SELECT query using group by

I don't know why the following query is not working:
SELECT whs_code, pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd, fresh_frozen_status,
SUM(qty_cases_on_hand)-Qty, SUM(qty_weight_on_hand)-Wt, operation
FROM
(
SELECT whs_code,pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd,fresh_frozen_status,operation,SUM(qty_cases_on_hand) AS Qty, SUM(qty_weight_on_hand) AS Wt
FROM tbl_inventory_activity_rpt1
WHERE operation ='RU'
GROUP BY whs_code,pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd,fresh_frozen_status,operation
)
WHERE operation='SU'
GROUP BY whs_code,pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd,fresh_frozen_status,operation`
The error is :
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
To make it simple to understand what i am trying to do here, please see the example
I need data as result of
(SELECT x FROM tbl_table Where column y='SU')-(SELECT x FROM tbl_table Where column y='RU')
SELECT ru.whs_code,
ru.pdt_code,
ru.case_dt_yyyymmdd,
ru.fresh_frozen_status,
ru.operation,
ru.Qty - su.Qty AS Qty_Diff,
ru.Wt - su.Wt AS Wt_Diff
FROM
(
SELECT whs_code,
pdt_code,
case_dt_yyyymmdd,
fresh_frozen_status,
operation,
SUM(qty_cases_on_hand) AS Qty,
SUM(qty_weight_on_hand) AS Wt
FROM tbl_inventory_activity_rpt1
WHERE operation ='RU'
GROUP BY whs_code,pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd,fresh_frozen_status,operation
) ru,
(
SELECT whs_code,
pdt_code,
case_dt_yyyymmdd,
fresh_frozen_status,
operation,
SUM(qty_cases_on_hand) AS Qty,
SUM(qty_weight_on_hand) AS Wt
FROM tbl_inventory_activity_rpt1
WHERE operation ='SU'
GROUP BY whs_code,pdt_code,case_dt_yyyymmdd,fresh_frozen_status,operation
) su
WHERE ru.whs_code = su.whs_code
AND ru.pdt_code = su.pdt_code
AND ru.case_dt_yyyymmdd = su.case_dt_yyyymmdd
AND ru.fresh_frozen_status = su.fresh_frozen_status
AND ru.operation = su.operation;

Works in SQLFiddle Not in SQL Server 2012

When I run this Query in SQL Fiddle it runs perfectly:
;with cte as
(SELECT
analysisvalue.analysisid,
heatname,
analysistime,
sampletype,
grade,
productid,
element,
value
FROM
dbo.AnalysisValue
INNER JOIN
dbo.CAnalysis
ON
dbo.AnalysisValue.AnalysisID = dbo.CAnalysis.AnalysisID
WHERE
heatname = 'A7M0066'
)
SELECT
*
FROM
S_analysis s
CROSS JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 analysistime
FROM cte
ORDER BY analysisid desc
) c
WHERE s.heat_no = 'A7M0066' OR
(s.analysis_datetime BETWEEN c.analysistime AND DATEADD(hh, 2, c.analysistime ))
However when I run it in SQL Server 2012, I receive this error with the leading semi-colon:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ';'.
And this error when without the semicolon:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'.
Instead of a CTE, you could use a #temp table and see if the query is valid:
SELECT
analysisvalue.analysisid,
heatname,
analysistime,
sampletype,
grade,
productid,
element,
value
INTO #temptable
FROM
dbo.AnalysisValue
INNER JOIN
dbo.CAnalysis
ON
dbo.AnalysisValue.AnalysisID = dbo.CAnalysis.AnalysisID
WHERE
heatname = 'A7M0066';
SELECT *
FROM
S_analysis s
CROSS JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 analysistime
FROM #temptable
ORDER BY analysisid desc
) c
WHERE s.heat_no = 'A7M0066' OR
(s.analysis_datetime BETWEEN c.analysistime AND DATEADD(hh, 2, c.analysistime ))

Select From CTE using AS? SQL Server 2008

I'm trying to convert a PostgreSQL into SQL Server. But this query doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? I tried to add a semicolon before WITH but no luck.

Thanks in advance
The CTE declaration needs to go at the top. You can also have multiple CTEs declared and joined by commas rather than mixing CTEs and derived tables.
Try
;WITH
/*First CTE declaration*/
transitive_closure(member_a, member_b, distance, path_string, direct_connection)
AS
(
...
),
/*Second CTE declaration*/
youmightknow AS
(
SELECT member_a, member_b,direct_connection AS shared_connection
FROM transitive_closure
WHERE distance = 2
)
SELECT member_a AS you,
...
FROM youmightknow
Move your CTE definition to the beginning of your SQL statement. The keyword WITH appears once at the beginning of your statement to introduce one or more CTEs, which may then be referred to in the following SQL. Take a look at this CTE example, it will clear it up for you.
