Math Functions: Function Oracle SQL Server

The document compares common math, string, and date functions between Oracle and SQL Server databases. It lists functions such as absolute value, cosine, logarithm, rounding, concatenation, character case conversion, substring extraction and date addition/subtraction. Key differences include Oracle using ADD and SUBTRACT for dates while SQL Server uses DATEADD and DATEDIFF, and Oracle functions like GREATEST, LEAST, NVL and TRANSLATE not having direct equivalents in SQL Server.
