 Very out of date...

Yep, agreed, as you found with the examples you shared :)  Thanks for those, 
it's motivation to get my act in gear and bring it up to speed for 9.2.

Hi Andreas,

It's a little out of date (I've been meaning to update it for about 2 years 
now) and has some gaps, but try the Database Rosetta Stone.

http://www.grantondata.com/community/dbrosettastone.html


Very out of date...

some example :
Statistics Gathering:
   CPU Costing, says no... But it is YES
   Disk / IO Costing, says no... But it is YES
Since a lot !

Query Management:
   Query/Resource Governor, says no... But it is YES (since V 2008)
   View historic queries in system cache, says no... But it is YES 
(since V 2005)


Parallelism
   Parallel Sorts, says ?... But it is YES (since a lot)
   Parallel Index (re)build, says ?... But it is YES (since V 2005) 
   Parallel (table) Reorganisation, says ?... But it is YES (since a lot)

same on datatype
DATE, TIME, DATETIME WITh TIME ZONE... have been added to 2008 version**

and some indication are wrong.
Example :
CLOB Datatype sauys no. It is yes vith text type almost since v 7 (1999 !)

Totally incomplete for date functions...





Let me know if you spot anything missing you'd like updated.

[GENERAL] PG vs MSSQL language comparison ?

2012-05-25 Thread Andreas

Hi,

I'm not into comparing which DBMS is better as we all know ... kind of 
... well ...


I'd like to find ressources to look up how one can do X in MSSQL when 
one knows how it is done in PG's SQL and the other way around.
