But its proving a bit tricky to nail it.
I have a table1 with columns serial no and name as below
serial no name
1 john paul
2 john victor
and i have another table1 with columns serialno,firstname and second name as below
serial no firstname secondname
1
2
I want to update my table2 with the name from table1 and divide and insert in first name and second name as below
serialno firstname secondname
1 john paul
2 john victor
i use the query as below
update table2 set
firstname = (select substr(name, 1, instr(name, ' ', 1) - 1)
from table1
)
but the above query not worked.
I need to search a pattern backwards in a CLOB field.Function DBMS_LOB.instr does not work with '-1' offset (where to start the search) as instr does.
Parameters: instr(text_to_be_searched, pattern, offset, nth)
Example: I want to search 'Hello world' for the first instance of the letter 'o' starting from the end, backwards.As you can see, result for DBMS_LOB.instr is null when entered -1 for offset.
select
DBMS_LOB.instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) lob_i,
instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) std_i
from dual;
I am trying this function
instr(','||replace(r_code,' ') ' ' || ', ' , ',' ||r_code || ' , ' )=0
i want to hardcode 'a1', 'a2' from r_code i dont want records from a1, a2
I have a requirement where the user input values will be passed as comma separated string to backend, which is queried against the table using instr. But the index present on the table is not using the index , due to the instr function.How can I create a index in such a way that The instr function uses it.
CREATE TABLE TEST_IDX
(
CCN VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
SKU_NUM VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
MOD VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
SKU_STATUS VARCHAR2(2 CHAR),
RPT_FLAG VARCHAR2(2 CHAR),
CYCLE_AS_OF_DATE DATE,
SMP_IDENTIFIER NUMBER,
MEASURE_NAME VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)
);
CREATE INDEX TEST_IDX1 ON TEST_IDX
(CCN, SMP_IDENTIFIER, MOD, CYCLE_AS_OF_DATE, RPT_FLAG,
MEASURE_NAME);
The below query is going for full table scan due to this.
select * from test_idx where (INSTR (','||'E10000'||',', ',' || ccn || ',') <> 0 OR 'E10000' = 'DEFAULT')
and mod='90396' and rpt_flag='O' and smp_identifier=2
how to recreate the above index so that these queries uses this index.
I have a script that is using the INSTR function to search through a block of data for a specific string (CALL). I am ONLY looking for that string set but unfortunately, there are other words within that block of text that have that string set within it (e.g. CALL_MY_PHONE). Is there any way to make the INSTR search DISTINCT? Below is the code that I am using:
to_number(DECODE(INSTR(ph.block,'CALL'),0,0,1))
Trying to get a number out of an error backtrack
06512: at "SCHEMA.PROCEDURE", line 4
I only need to take the 4 out of this message. Of course the number might be anything from 1 to 10000.
The database languages might differ so I can't do this using
v_line_no:=SUBSTR(v_line_no,INSTR(v_line_no,'line')+5)
As it would not find any 'line' inside the string.
how can i subtr first name and last name select first_name + lastname from employee for example if i have james michael i what to have JMichael
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a SSRS Front end screen which sends multi-select column values as comma separated strings to back end ( Oracle 10g) procedure .
The procedure builds the string by inserting single quotes in the following manner.
P_BU_LST is the parameter which have comma separated values
'1234,3456,4577' i.e, BU ids selected by user in front end
the procedure inserts single quotes to this paramer value
i.e., '1234','3456','4577
v_bu_lst := '''' || REPLACE(v_selbu, ',', ''',''')|| '''';
This is used the where clause of the REF CURSOR SELECT query which send the data back to SSRS
ie.,
SELECT BU.*
FROM BU_DETAIL BU
WHERE INSTR(V_BU_LST,BU_ID) <> 0;
INSTR has a chance to fail in this scenario if the value send from the front end is 123456,3456,4577
here 123456 does not exist in table, but it will be true for INSTR and values 1234 from table will be send back to SSRS which is wrong. Earlier I was using a function to convert the comma separated values to multi-rows and treat it like a lookup table.
But the main table has around million records , and each row has to processed against each row of lookup table, which makes it slower. To avoid this I used INSTR which is faster but can give wrong results.
i would like to know how can i used the OR "|" with REGEXP_SUBSTR
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR('500.90 Oracle Parkway, 12-12-2000 78 Redwood Shores, CA','([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{4})') "REGEXPR_SUBSTR" FROM DUAL;this two condition
([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{4})
or this i did it like this
[code]...
This piece of code returns this below:
RPAD(LPAD(' ',12, ' ') || SUBSTR(adj_second_line,(INSTR(adj_second_line,'~',1,1) + 1),
(INSTR(adj_second_line,'~',1,2) - INSTR(adj_second_line,'~',1,1)
- 1)),80,' ') ADJ_SECOND_LINE
Current Output ( ADJ#1-2M1YE2 TYPE 20100524 20100624 1MO/0DY )
===============================================================================================
1) I would like to alter that code above and substr the back 68 characters only with the 12 spaces padded in front, and the trailing nulls to total 80 characters staying as is. How would I put the below substr into that piece of code above?
Desired Output ( 20100524 20100624 1MO/0DY )
SUBSTR(adj_second_line,LENGTH(adj_second_line)-69)
===============================================================================================
2) I also would like the take whatever else there is preceding the 69th character counting it from the back and calling the column ADJ_FIRST_LINE.
Desired Output2 (ADJ#1-2M1YE2 TYPE)
No leading or trailing nulls and This is not a fixed amount of characters.
===============================================================================================
Result would be:
ADJ_FIRST_LINE
-----------------
ADJ#1-2M1YE2 TYPE
ADJ_SECOND_LINE
---------------
20100524 20100624 1MO/0DY

I know that default column heading length is 30 character long.

How can i have column heading as Example of substr function?
I am using the following substr and it works fine on Toad but when i am trying to use within an ETL tool, there getting the error:

Calling <substr> with <2> parameters, but <3> are expected.
