In MariaDB 10.4.6 and later, setting the sql_mode system variable to MSSQL allows the server to understand a small subset of Microsoft Server's language. For example:

SET SQL_MODE='MSSQL';

In MariaDB 10.4.6 SET SQL_MODE=ORACLE is an alias for the following sql_mode:

PIPES_AS_CONCAT,ANSI_QUOTES,IGNORE_SPACE,MSSQL,NO_KEY_OPTIONS,NO_TABLE_OPTIONS,
NO_FIELD_OPTIONS

For the moment the MSSQL has only very limited functionality, but we plan to add more after hand according to demand.

Supported Syntax in MSSQL Mode

Using [] for quoting

One can use [] instead of "" or `` for quoting identifiers:

SET SQL_MODE="MSSQL";
CREATE TABLE [t 1] ([a b] INT);
SHOW CREATE TABLE [t 1];
Table  Create Table
t 1    CREATE TABLE "t 1" (
  "a b" int(11) DEFAULT NULL
)

You can use '[' in identifiers. If you want to use ']' in identifiers you have to specify it twice.
