Browse All TopicsHi,
What is the equivalent of 'COLLATE' in Oracle 91 ? Does oracle need it ?
I am trying to migrate some sqlserver scripts into oracle.
create table [Stats] (
[id] [int] not null,
[entity] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_
) ON [PRIMARY];
CREATE INDEX [IX_UserID] ON [Stats]([id]) ON [PRIMARY];
Thanks

for ORACLE, the equivalent CONCEPT is NLS (National Language Support). ORACLE does NOT need the NLS declared on the table, so you should drop the COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ AS from the SQL, before you apply it to your ORACLE database.
Also, you should change all varchar fields to varchar2 (for ORACLE), and also drop the [ and ] from the SQL for the table definitions.
