Re: SQL Help

Sorry, I didn't finish off the demo query. Here is the message again:

I'm in the process of rewriting some Transact SQL Sybase code to Oracle PL/SQL. Oracle does not appear to accept embedded subqueries of the form:

select * from TABLE_A

    WHERE
    (VAL1 - (select VAL2 from TABLE_B)) > 0;

(i know this can be rewitten as select (COL_A,COL_B...) from TABLE_A,TABLE_B where VAL1 > VAL2 but the actual queries are more complex and I'd rather not rewrite then in this form if I can help it

Thanks

Paul
