    Recently we have migrated our projects to SQLSERVER 2012 , some of the queries has *= [syntax in where condition]now we need to convert this syntax to SQLSERVER 2012 compatible. Can anyone has any idea to resolve the problem.

    Because *= will not support in SQLSERVER 2012.

    Regards,

    LEFT/RIGHT OUTER JOIN is the newer join method, the older *= has been deprecated since 2005.

    In the spirit of full disclosure, you could run databases in 80 compatibility mode on SQL 2008/R2 and still utilize the *= / =* syntax but support for 80 compatibility mode was dropped from SQL 2012 therefore you are forced to rewrite your queries to use the ANSI standard JOIN syntax.
