Caché Transact-SQL (TSQL) Migration Guide - InterSystems ...

5TSQL SettingsSettings are used to tailor the behavior of the compiler and colorizer. The TSQL configuration options are part of the standardCaché configuration. Most are settable using the Management Portal.Caché supports the following TSQL settings:• DIALECT (default is Sybase)• ANSI_NULLS (default is ON)• TRACE• CASEINSCOMPARE (String comparison is not case-sensitive. Default is ON)• QUOTED_IDENTIFIER (default is ON)Go into the Caché Management Portal. Go to [System] > [Configuration] > [SQL Settings], then select TSQL CompatibilitySettings. Here you can specify the DIALECT (Sybase or MSSQL, default is Sybase), and turn on or off the ANSI_NULLS,CASEINSCOMPARE, and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER settings. The Management Portal default for these three settings is “OFF”.These values are used to set the corresponding ^%SYS("tsql","SET",...) global array values.5.1 DIALECTThe DIALECT configuration option allows you to select the Transact-SQL dialect. The available options are Sybase andMSSQL. The default is Sybase. This option is set using the Caché Management Portal.If DIALECT=MSSQL: a DECLARE statement binds host variable values.If DIALECT=Sybase: host variable values are refreshed for each cursor OPEN.5.2 TRACEThe TRACE configuration option controls the behavior of the TSQL compiler. When a method is compiled with TRACEactive, running this method will log traced messages to the active log file, by default. The active log file is located in thesame namespace as CACHE.DAT, and is named using the current process number.You can activate (=1) or deactivate (=0) TRACE systemwide using the following Caché ObjectScript command:SET ^%sys("tsql","TRACE")=1Caché Transact-SQL (TSQL) Migration Guide 33
