Translating query from Firebird to PostgreSQL # 2 - sql

I have a SQL query :
SELECT TRIM(RL.RDB$RELATION_NAME), TRIM(FR.RDB$FIELD_NAME), FS.RDB$FIELD_TYPE, TRIM(RC.RDB$CONSTRAINT_TYPE)
FROM RDB$RELATIONS RL
LEFT OUTER JOIN RDB$RELATION_FIELDS FR ON FR.RDB$RELATION_NAME = RL.RDB$RELATION_NAME
LEFT OUTER JOIN RDB$FIELDS FS ON FS.RDB$FIELD_NAME = FR.RDB$FIELD_SOURCE
LEFT OUTER JOIN RDB$INDEX_SEGMENTS ISS ON ISS.RDB$FIELD_NAME = FR.RDB$FIELD_NAME
INNER JOIN RDB$RELATION_CONSTRAINTS RC ON RC.RDB$CONSTRAINT_NAME = ISS.RDB$INDEX_NAME
WHERE (RL.RDB$VIEW_BLR IS NULL)
ORDER BY RL.RDB$RELATION_NAME, FR.RDB$FIELD_NAME
Yesterday i asked how correctly translate a query from Firebird to PostgreSQL and I'm asking once again :) . (But I'd just started working with databases and got really hard task (rewrite a big part of code, because RDBMS had been changed) ). A big part is done, but I have a problems with this translation. So, can u help me? There is some code which i've translated by myself.

Legacy Query Sybase to TSQL MSSQL migration with multiple left join with or operator

I would like to convert this sybase legacy sql code to ansi tsql new standard for ms sql, but I can't find the right way. Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT 3 FROM x_linea_cred, x_linea_cred_priv, x_clt_prd
WHERE x_clt_prd.r_client = #rclient AND
(x_clt_prd.nro_prod *= x_linea_cred.nro_prod or
x_clt_prd.nro_prod *= x_linea_cred_priv.nro_prod))
For a while now, the standard notation for outer join is LEFT [OUTER] JOIN. Your query should be converted to:
select 3
from x_clt_prd c
left join x_linea_cred lc on lc.nro_prod = c.nro_prod
left join x_linea_cred_priv lcp on lcp.nro_prod = c.nro_prod
where c.r_client = #rclient

Convert Legacy SQL Outer JOIN *=, =* to ANSI

I need to convert a legacy SQL outer Join to ANSI.
The reason for that being, we're upgrading from a legacy DB instance (2000/5 ?) to SQL 2016.
Legacy SQL query :-
SELECT
--My Data to Select--
FROM counterparty_alias ca1,
counterparty_alias ca2,
counterparty cp,
party p
WHERE cp.code *= ca1.counterparty_code AND
ca1.alias = 'Party1' AND
cp.code *= ca2.counterparty_code AND
ca2.alias = 'Party2' AND
cp.code *= p.child_code AND
cp.category in ('CAT1','CAT2')
Here, Party1 and Party2 Are the party type codes and CAT1 and CAT2 are the category codes. They're just data; I have abstracted it, because the values don't really matter.
Now, when I try to replace the *= with a LEFT OUTER JOIN, I get a huge mismatch on the Data, both in terms of the number of rows, as well as the Data itself.
The query I'm using is this :
What am I doing wrong ?
SELECT
--My Data to Select--
FROM
counterparty cp
LEFT OUTER JOIN counterparty_alias ca1 ON cp.code = ca1.counterparty_code
LEFT OUTER JOIN counterparty_alias ca2 ON cp.code = ca2.counterparty_code
LEFT OUTER JOIN party p ON cp.code = p.child_code
WHERE
ca1.alias = 'Party1' AND
ca2.alias = 'Party2' AND
cp.category in ('CAT1','CAT2')
Clearly , in all the three legacy joins , the cp (counterparty) table is on the Left hand Side of the *=. So that should translate to a LEFT OUTER JOIN WITH all the three tables. However, my solution doesn't seem to to be working
How can I fix this ? What am I doing wrong here ?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
EDIT
I also have another query like this :
SELECT
--My Data to Select--
FROM dbo.deal d,
dbo.deal_ccy_option dvco,
dbo.deal_valuation dv,
dbo.strike_modifier sm
WHERE d.deal_id = dvco.deal_id
AND d.deal_id = dv.deal_id
AND dvco.base + dvco.quoted *= sm.ccy_pair
AND d.maturity_date *= sm.expiry_date
In this case, both the dvco and d tables seem to be doing a LEFT OUTER JOIN on the same table sm. How do I proceed about this ?
Maybe join in on the same table and use an alias sm1 and sm2 ?
Or should I use sm as the central table and change the join to RIGHT OUTER JOIN on dvco and d tables ?
I think the problem with your translation is that you are using conditions on the right tables in the where clause instead of in the on clause.
When I tried to translate it, this is the translation I've got:
FROM counterparty cp
LEFT JOIN counterparty_alias ca1 ON cp.code = ca1.counterparty_code
AND ca1.alias = 'Party1'
LEFT JOIN counterparty_alias ca2 ON cp.code *= ca2.counterparty_code
AND ca2.alias = 'Party2'
LEFT JOIN party p ON cp.code = p.child_code
WHERE cp.category in ('CAT1','CAT2')
However, it's hard to know if I'm correct since you didn't provide sample data, desired results, or even a complete query.
If you're doing a conversion, it has been my experience that *= is a RIGHT OUTER JOIN and =* is a LEFT OUTER JOIN in terms of a straight conversion.
I am converting hundreds of stored procs and views now and through testing this is what matches. I run the query as the original first, then make the changes and re-run it with the ANSI compliant code.
The data returned needs to be the same for consistency in our application.
So for your second query I think it would look something like this:
FROM dbo.deal d
INNER JOIN dbo.deal_ccy_option dvco ON d.deal_id = dvco.deal_id
INNER JOIN dbo.deal_valuation dv ON d.deal_id = dv.deal_id
RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.strike_modifier sm ON d.maturity_date = sm.expiry_date
AND (dvco.base + dvco.quoted) = sm.ccy_pair
Thanks for the help and sorry for the late post, but I got it to work with a quick hack, using the Query Designer Tool inbuilt in SSMS. It simply refactored all my queries and put in the correct Join, Either Left or Right , and the Where condition as an AND condition on the Join itself, so I was getting the correct data result set for both pre and post, only sometimes the data sorting/ordering was a little off.
I got lost with deadlines and couldnt update with the solution earlier. Thanks again for the help. Hope this helps someone else too !!
Still a little bit unsure though why the ordering/sorting was a little off if the Join condition was the same and the filters as well, because data was a 100 % match.
To get the query Designer to Work , just select your legacy SQL, and
open the Query Designer by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Q or Goto Main Menu
ToolBar => Query => Design Query in Editor.
Thats it. This will refactor your legacy code to new ANSI standards. You wll get the converted query with the new Joins that you can copy and test. Worked 100% of the time for me, except in some cases where the sorting was not matching, which you can check by adding a simple order by clause to both pre and post to compare the data.
For reference, I cross checked with this post :

SQL Query: Comparing two dates in returned record

I'm trying to come up with an automated solution for something I do manually now and I only have minimal, bare-bones SQL skill. I usually modify simple queries others have built or will build basic select queries. I have done some reading but don't know how to make it do what I need in this case. I need to come up with something others can use while I am out for a month (and which will save me time when I return).
What I need is to return the fields below where tblThree.EndDate is later than tblFive.ServiceEnd. I have to do a couple of other compares on the dates, but if I get a working query of the first one I can make it work with the others. We use MS SQL Server 2008.
I tried creating sub-queries with aliases and failed miserably at making it work.
These are the table and fields I am working with:
tblOne.ServiceID
tblOne.ServiceYear
tblOne.Status
tblTwo.AccountNbr
tblTwo.AcctName
tblThree.BeginDate (smalldatetime, null)
tblThree.EndDate (smalldatetime, null)
tblFour.ClientID
tblFour.ServiceName
tblFive.ContractID
tblFive.ServiceBegin (smalldatetime, null)
tblFive.ServiceEnd (smalldatetime, null)
This is how the tables are related:
tblOne.ServiceID = tblThree.ServiceID
tblOne.ContractID = tblFive.ContractID
tblOne.ClientID = tblFour.ClientID
tblTwo.AccountNbr = tblFour.Account
I used MS Access 2003 to generate the Join SQL:
SELECT tblOne.ServiceID, tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName, tblFour.ServiceName, tblOne.Status,
tblThree.BeginDate, tblThree.EndDate,
tblOne.ServiceYear, tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM ((tblTwo INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr=tblFour.AccountNbr) INNER JOIN (tblThree INNER JOIN tblOne
ON tblThree.ServiceID=tblOne.ServiceID)
ON tblFour.ClientID=tblOne.ClientID) INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID=tblFive.ContractID;
Thanks for any help.
Just add a WHERE clause to get started:
SELECT tblOne.ServiceID, tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName, tblFour.ServiceName, tblOne.Status,
tblThree.BeginDate, tblThree.EndDate,
tblOne.ServiceYear, tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM ((tblTwo INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr=tblFour.AccountNbr) INNER JOIN (tblThree INNER JOIN tblOne
ON tblThree.ServiceID=tblOne.ServiceID)
ON tblFour.ClientID=tblOne.ClientID) INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID=tblFive.ContractID
WHERE tblThree.EndDate > tblFive.ServiceEnd;
SELECT
tblOne.ServiceID,
tblOne.ServiceYear,
tblOne.Status,
tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName,
tblThree.BeginDate,
tblThree.EndDate,
tblFour.ClientID,
tblFour.ServiceName,
tblFive.ContractID,
tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM tblOne
INNER JOIN tblThree
ON tblOne.ServiceID = tblThree.ServiceID
INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID = tblFive.ContractID
INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblOne.ClientID = tblFour.ClientID
INNER JOIN tblTwo
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr = tblFour.Account
WHERE tblThree.EndDate > tblFive.ServiceEnd

my script has many table to left out join, and there is one table left out join itself, which tabel has 2,100,000 records.When I run the script in the sql server 2005, it will return this error message:Too many parallel nested transactions.
How to deal with? Please give me some help. Thank you very much.

It appears that this is a known issue in SQL Server. Please see the related Microsoft KB article 940935, which recommends:
The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 3.
Maybe you need install SQL2005 SP4. See KB article 939537 for details on updating.

Need help optimizing this tSQL Query

I'm definitely not a DBA and unfortunately we don't have a DBA to consult within at our company. I was wondering if someone could give me a recommendation on how to improve this query, either by changing the query itself or adding indexes to the database.
Looking at the execution plan of the query it seems like the outer joins are killing the query. This query only returns 350k results, but it takes almost 30 seconds to complete. I don't know much about DB's, but I don't think this is good? Perhaps I'm wrong?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
As a side note this is obviously being create by an ORM and not me directly. We are using Linq-to-SQL.

As a rule (and this is very general), you want an index on:
JOIN fields (both sides)
Common WHERE filter fields
Possibly fields you aggregate
For this query, start with checking your JOIN criteria. Any one of those missing will force a table scan which is a big hit.
Looking at the execution plan of the query it seems like the outer joins are killing the query.
This query only returns 350k results, but it takes almost 30 seconds to complete. I don't know
much about DB's, but I don't think this is good? Perhaps I'm wrong?
A man has got to do waht a mana has got to do.
The joins may kill you, but when you need them YOU NEED THEM. Some tasks take long.
Make sure you ahve all indices you need.
Make sure your sql server is not a sad joke hardware wise.
All you can do.
I woudl bet someone has no clue about SQL and needs to be enlighted to the power of indices.
