PL/SQL :: RETURN Translate - Greek Letters Replace By Their Corresponding Values
Sep 20, 2012Imagine I have the following function:
FUNCTION normalize(str IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
RETURN TRANSLATE(LOWER(str),
'äàáâãăāåąæčçðďéèëêěĕėęğģġîĭïīìíłļľŀñńňņöóòôõσøőřśŝšşţüúùûǔųūůŵýÿżźžżαβßγδεζŋηικλμµνξπρσςτυφω',
'aaaaaaaaaaccddeeeeeeeegggiiiiiillllnnnnoooooooorsssstuuuuuuuuwyyzzzzassydeznniklmmnxprsstufo'
);
END;
I'm tired to add missing characters in this list...
What I would like is that all characters with an accent or diacritics should be replace by their "base" letter (ë -> e) and Greek letters to be replace by their corresponding values (ω (omega) -> o)
PL/SQL :: Translate Function Remove Alpha Characters From String
Feb 7, 2013I am on 11g.
I need to remove the alpha characters from a string, leaving only numbers, but I am getting unexpected results:
SQL> SELECT TRANSLATE('3N', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', NULL) a FROM DUAL;
A
-
I thought this would leave the 3 from the 3N, but it is returning an empty string. For my application, the string '3N' could be any length, will only contain letters and numbers, and the letters will always come at the end, but there could be more than one letter

Function To Replace All Occurrences Of A String?
Jan 9, 2007Years ago, someone created a database in Oracle that was carried over and now sits in Oracle 10g. I am developing an application that queries this database and returns the result as XML.
Many (thousands) of rows have an item description that contains an ampersand. I want each of these pieces of data to have it written as & amp; (had to add a space so it would show up here, but you know what I mean) instead of &, but I don't feel like doing thousands of UPDATEs to change this.
Does Oracle have any global find/replace functions that I can call? I'd rather do one update statement that replaces all occurances of & with & amp; but I can't seem to find a function that will do this.
I'm thinking something that would work like:
UPDATE table SET column1=REPLACE(column1,oldstr,newstr);
SQL & PL/SQL :: Why Replace Function Is Not Replacing - ASCII Value Being Zero
May 16, 2013why the REPLACE function is not replacing. I assume it has something to do with the ASCII value being zero.

Performance Tuning :: Getting Alternative To REPLACE Function?
Jun 12, 2010I have a table with:
1 million rows
average row length 200 bytes
50 columns
and this update statement
UPDATE mytable SET varchar2_4000_column = replace(replace(replace...300 times)
It looks at every row in the table (no WHERE clause) and does these 300 replace operations on this column for each row. Each replace replaces with a null so effectively it is removing strings. Much of the time these strings are not in the column.
This update statement takes 25 minutes and it is 98% CPU and 2% USER_IO time.
I figure that is what is taking all the time since it is a CPU bound statement. if rows in this table are persistent over time then tag rows with a flag to show which ones have already been processed and skip these next time around.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Difference Between Procedure And Function
May 22, 2010I know difference between procedure and function.if we want a return value from procedure, we can have OUT parameter. Similarly with function, in addition to returning a value from function, it can also send an OUT parameter value as a return value. That means, in one or the other way we are able to get a return value from both program units. Normally, I would fill a OUT variable with error message when an exception occurs. I use this varaible,after procedure call, to detect if an exception occurred or not. Similar task can be performed by a function, it returns a true/false and a value thru OUT variables.
both program units return values in the form of OUT parameters. Where exactly should we use a function, where exactly should we use a procedure?

Application Express :: Translate All Of Interactive Report Messages On 4.2
Apr 22, 2013I'm trying to translate all of the interactive report messages, on Apex 4.2. I'm using this [
[URL].........
As a reference. I have several problems translating the help section of the interactive report. First of all, I can't seem to find all of the message names. The ones I couldn't find were:
Sets the number of records to display per page.(regarding displaying certain number of rows per page)
Format enable you to customize the display of the report. Format contains the following sub menu:
Sort
Control Break
Highlight
Compute
Aggregate
Chart
Group By(regarding format)
You can define one Group By report per saved report. Once defined, you can switch between the group by and report views using links below the Search bar. To create a Group By report, you select:
the columns on which to group (up to 3 columns can be selected)
the columns to aggregate along with the function to be performed (average, sum, count, etc.)
the columns to use for sorting (up to 3 columns can be selected along with direction and null sorting options)(regarding group by)
And secondly, I have translated this message
Select columns icon enables you to identify which column to search (or all).
Text area enables you to enter case insensitive search criteria (wild card characters are implied).
Go button executes the search.
Reports displays alternate default and saved private or public reports.
Actions Menu enables you to customize a report. See the sections that follow.using this message name:
APEXIR_HELP_SEARCH_BAR.
However, now I have two messages shown in that section: the original one, in English, and the translated one.
