TSEQUAL and JOIN syntax as *= or =* not supported in SQL Server 2008
I have faced an issue during SQL Server Migration. Here sharing with you.
As I need to move some databases from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2008 then I faced a problem because TSEQUAL and JOIN syntax such as *= or =* not supported in SQL Server 2008.
Some of scripts are using the function and syntax as
Example:
- TSEQUAL (TxnStatus, @ciTxnSts)
- JOIN syntax which has *= and =* to specify the OUTER JOIN.
Solution:
- TxnStatus = @ciTxnSts instead of TSEQUAL (TxnStatus, @ciTxnSts)
- Outer Join = instead of *= and =*
If anybody has any other idea please share as comment.
TimeStamp Will also be discontinued from next version of SQL Server
