• SQL Server

Description

Snowflake SQL does not support GOTO LABEL statements. Currently, LABELS are commented and warning is added for all the occurrences.

Sample Source Patterns

The following examples details the BEGIN and COMMIT transaction statements.

Transact-SQL

Labeled statements

IN -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE PROCEDURE GoToProcedure
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @TotalMaarks INT
SET @TotalMaarks = 49;
IF @TotalMaarks >= 50
    GOTO Pass
IF @TotalMaarks < 50
    GOTO Fail
Pass:
    SELECT 1;
    RETURN 1;
Fail:
    SELECT 2;
    RETURN 2;
END

Snowflake SQL

Labeled statements

OUT -> SqlServer_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GoToProcedure ()
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sc","name":"snowconvert","version":{"major":1, "minor":0},{"attributes":{"component":"transact"}}'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
    DECLARE
        TOTALMAARKS INT;
    BEGIN
         
        TOTALMAARKS := 49;
        IF (:TOTALMAARKS >= 50) THEN
            !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-0073 - PENDING FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENCE REVIEW FOR 'GOTO' NODE ***/!!!
            GOTO Pass
        END IF;
        IF (:TOTALMAARKS < 50) THEN
            !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-0073 - PENDING FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENCE REVIEW FOR 'GOTO' NODE ***/!!!
            GOTO Fail
        END IF;
        !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-TS0045 - LABELED STATEMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED IN SNOWFLAKE SCRIPTING ***/!!!
        Pass:
        SELECT 1;
        RETURN 1;

        !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-TS0045 - LABELED STATEMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED IN SNOWFLAKE SCRIPTING ***/!!!
        Fail:
        SELECT 2;
        RETURN 2;

    END;
$$;

LABEL and GOTO statement outside routines (functions and procedures)

Transact-SQL

IN -> SqlServer_02.sql

CREATE TABLE T12(COL1 INT);
GOTO SecondStat
FirstStat:
    INSERT INTO T12 VALUES (1);
SecondStat:
    INSERT INTO T12 VALUES (2);

Snowflake Scripting

OUT -> SqlServer_02.sql

BEGIN
    CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE T12 (
        COL1 INT
    );
        !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-0073 - PENDING FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENCE REVIEW FOR 'Goto' NODE ***/!!!
        GOTO SecondStat;
        !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-TS0045 - LABELED STATEMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED IN SNOWFLAKE SCRIPTING ***/!!!
        FirstStat:
    INSERT INTO T12 VALUES (1);

        !!!RESOLVE EWI!!! /*** SSC-EWI-TS0045 - LABELED STATEMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED IN SNOWFLAKE SCRIPTING ***/!!!
        SecondStat:
    INSERT INTO T12 VALUES (2);

END;
