RE: converting case in sqlserver to oracle
I believe Oracle 9i supports the CASE syntax. Otherwise, you're probably looking at using some sort of DECODE conbination. Or, I've found a lot of SQL Server queries are overly complex because SQL Server didn't support user-defined functions. I was able to simplify a lot of queries when moving them to Oracle by defining a few functions to replace parts of the query.

Re: converting case in sqlserver to oracle
It's not pretty, but something like this should work: select au.id, decode(au.id_pi_instance,null,id_view, decode(pi_props.n_kind,15, decode(child_kind.nm_productview,ed.nm_enum_data,au.id_pi_instance + 0x4000, au.id_pi_instance), au.id_pi_instance), au.id_pi_instance), au.instance, ...
