You may be having problems with syntax. If your original SQL Server
statements creates joins according to recommended T-SQL syntax then
they will all have to be changed before a PL/SQL parser will be able to
read them(unless my knowledge of PL/SQL is out of date and that is not
unlikely).
In PL/SQL the joins are established in the where clause and the from
clause is simply a list of tables. Changing your syntax to reflect this
will not give you any problems in T-SQL as it understands both forms of
join.
As I say, I hope I'm not out of date on the PL/SQL question.
