Question

I've just used a simple inner join. When I searched for solution, I was told that 10g doesn't support these kind of syntax and I should use dynamic SQL instead. Is that true? How to achieve inner join using dynamic SQL?

Answer 1

ProC 10g version doesn't allow inner/outer joins. If you want to have these, you will have to upgrade your ProC compiler.
If you use, 11g you can use the solution suggested here: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=665519

Use the old syntax.

Instead of: SELECT * FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK

Use this: SELECT * FROM TABLE1, TABLE2 WHERE TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK

For OUTER JOINS just use the (+) sign on the side you want to be nullable:

Instead of: SELECT * FROM TABLE1 LEFT JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK

Use this: SELECT * FROM TABLE1, TABLE2 WHERE TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK (+)
