Static SQL Statements

1

SELECT

Supported, with differences.

GaussDB and Oracle Database are different in some scenarios.

In GaussDB, FOR SHARE adds a shared lock to the retrieved rows. The shared locks of different transactions do not block each other. If data is locked by FOR SHARE in one transaction and SELECT FOR SHARE SKIP LOCKED is used in another transaction, SKIP LOCKED does not skip the lock.

MERGE

Supported.

5

LOCK TABLE

Supported.

6

INSERT ALL

Supported, with differences.

• Oracle Database does not support alias setting for the tables of into_clause, but GaussDB supports.
• When into_clause specifies the sequence:
  • Oracle Database: If nextval is referenced for the first time, the next number of the current value is generated. Otherwise, the same number will always be returned.
  • GaussDB: The number generated by referencing nextval can increment automatically.
• The plan_hint statement can take effect in Oracle Database but does not take effect in GaussDB.

1

COMMIT

Supported.

-

2

ROLLBACK

Supported.

-

3

SAVEPOINT

5

ROWNUM

Supported, with differences.

It is not recommended that the ROWNUM condition be used in the JOIN ON clause.

In GaussDB, when the ROWNUM condition is used in the JOIN ON clause, the behavior in the LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL JOIN, and MERGE INTO scenarios is different from that in other databases, causing risks in service migration.
