Description

Oracle allows multiple conditions in a single FOR LOOP however, Snowflake Scripting only allows one condition per FOR LOOP. Only the first condition is migrated and the others are ignored during transformation.

Example Code

Input Code:

IN -> Oracle_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P3
AS
BEGIN
FOR i IN REVERSE 1..3,
REVERSE i+5..i+7
LOOP
    NULL;
END LOOP; 
END;

Output Code:

OUT -> Oracle_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P3 ()
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "oracle",  "convertedOn": "07/14/2025",  "domain": "no-domain-provided" }}'
EXECUTE AS CALLER

Recommendations

• Separate the FOR LOOP into different loops or rewrite the condition.
