Re: SQL Syntax problem

The "(+)" is for outer join.

Your query must become :

select ...
from auswahlkatalog k,anspruchkorrektur a, beteiligter b, v_betkorr f
left outer join bet_id on (b.bet_id = a.bet_idemp)
right outer join ask_id on (a.ask_id = f.ask_id)
where k.awk_id = a.awk_id

(see tutorial-join.html for the right syntax)

Maybe you can write :

select ...
from auswahlkatalog k,anspruchkorrektur a, beteiligter b, v_betkorr f
where k.awk_id = a.awk_id and b.bet_id = a.bet_idemp and a.ask_id = f.ask_id
