Hi,
I have this oracle query with outer join situation. how can i convert it into sql server query.

SELECT distinct ae.dB_CONTRACT,CP.PC_CODE,BID_ITEM.ITEM_NO,
'N',BID_ITEM.PRICE_WORDS,OFF_ITEM.DESCPT,
OFF_ITEM.UNITS,OFF_ITEM.TYPE_ITEM,
PRES_ITEM.RET_PERC
FROM BID_TOTAL,BID_ITEM,OFF_ITEM,PRES_ITEM, AE_CONTRACT AE, CONTRACT_PC CP
WHERE RANK_NUMB = 1
AND BID_TOTAL.DB_CONTRACT = 37044
AND BID_TOTAL.DB_CONTRACT = BID_ITEM.DB_CONTRACT
AND BID_TOTAL.BID_VENDOR = BID_ITEM.BID_VENDOR
AND BID_ITEM.DB_CONTRACT = OFF_ITEM.DB_CONTRACT
AND BID_ITEM.ITEM_NO = OFF_ITEM.ITEM_NO
AND OFF_ITEM.ITEM_NO = PRES_ITEM.ITEM_NO (+)
AND AE.DB_CONTRACT=BID_TOTAL.DB_cONTRACT
AND CP.DB_CONTRACT = AE.DB_CONTRACT
AND CP.pc_code = 1
