I can extract the data from before the first *, but I need to also be able to extract the data from between the 1st and 2nd *s, e.g. Z23, A32345, TEST, THIS and THAT from the sample data above.
I have a table test with column containing dates, characters and numbers. I have to extract the number part and the three characters before the number . My data looks like :
TEST ID DATA 1 3/12/2007 2 0 3 3/8/2010 ABC 217 4 NONE 5 COLM XYZ 469 6/8/2011 6 LMN 209
Currently, I am running 4 separate queries in order to retrieve specific data from a XML file. Is there a way of extracting all 4 values via XML tags in a single query - e.g. :
At the moment, I am extracting the required info as follows.
Example query 1: message_content, 2000, 2303 > retrieves starting point for an error header
select ml.message_reference, UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 (dbms_lob.substr(message_content, 2000, 2303)) from table.msg_archive ma, table.msg_log ml where ma.message_id = ml.message_id and ml.message__cd = 'MP_XML' and ml.message_reference in (456123)
Once retrieved, I transfer to Excel and use a formula to extract the specific header (e.g. using =MID(B1,1,11))
Example query 2: message_content, 2000, 581 > retrieves the starting point for a user id.
select ml.message_reference, UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 (dbms_lob.substr(message_content, 2000, 581)) from table.msg_archive ma, table.msg_log ml where ma.message_id = ml.message_id and ml.message__cd = 'MP_XML' and ml.message_reference in (456123)
I exported and imported data from one oracle database to another, but not all the data got loaded in to the destination database. Basically it is filtering the data. Can it be because of the reason that the sql developer may be an express edition?
Now i have to insert this xml into DB , the table consist of following columns ( row number , property name , value ) Expected out put is (1,student name,Raymond) ,( 1, studentid , 1) ( 1, studentAge, 11) (1,Studentmark , 0) The challenges here is
1. how to get the tag names and populate the property name column ? 2. The number of properties for a student can be variable , How can i deal with them ?
Below is the function code used to extract data from blob column. The function works fine when the blob data length < 2000 bytes. When it is more than, it is throwing an error as below.
Table name: mr_test Columns: id number seo blob
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_mr_blob(in_id IN number) return varchar2 IS len NUMBER;
[Code]....
ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long
when I replcae the
"SELECT myvar||trim(dbms_lob.substr(seo,bytelen,vstart)) into myvar FROM mr_test WHERE id = in_id;" with SELECT trim(dbms_lob.substr(seo,bytelen,vstart)) into myvar FROM mr_test WHERE id = in_id; myvar1 := myvar1||myvar; ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I'm creating a package function that would return the image from the table HR.PER_IMAGES.
Here's the table description of HR.PER_IMAGES IMAGE_ID NUMBER(15) IMAGE LONG RAW PARENT_ID NUMBER(15) TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
I have also created a simple PL/SQL code that would supposed to extract the value of the IMAGE column and store it in a variable then return it from a function.
DECLARE x LONG RAW; BEGIN SELECT image INTO x FROM per_images WHERE parent_id = :p_parent_id ; END;
However, I'm getting the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" message. I have tried retrieving an specific image using Oracle Reports Developer and when I queried it was able to render the image on the report page.
Using UTL_TCP package (for the first time; maybe there's smarter way to do that), I captured contents of a certain web page. The page contains (along with some text, images, etc.), a list of values I'd like to extract. Something like this:
PRVI miravira pond 23.7.2010 102,2221 NEKI miravira pond 23.7.2010 105,0996 DRUGI miravira pond 22.7.2010 101,3789
The result (output) of the PL/SQL procedure contains several hundreds of lines. I narrowed the output to a part which I'm interested in. It looks like this (a screenshot, because [code] or [pre] tags won't allow me to paint text, while the others don't preserve formatting):
Red values are what I'm looking for. The first one represents a date (July 23rd 2010), and the second one is amount (105,0996).
Now, what's the problem: the above mess doesn't look the same every day (probably because the rest of data that appears on a web page changes too). Therefore, SUBSTR (with hard-coded positions) that seems to be working today is wrong tomorrow. Moreover, IF condition I used might not provide desired part of a web page every time.
Here's the code (modified a little bit, unimportant for what matters):
declare c utl_tcp.connection; n number; buffer varchar2(255); l_x_dat varchar2(10); l_x_izn varchar2(10);
[code].....
L_X_DAT and L_X_IZN are values I need. SUBSTR parameters, as I said, are far from being good.Is there any smart way to extract those two values? What (Oracle) technology could be used here? Or should I just try to, somehow, set SUBSTR values correctly (dynamically)?
If there was a way to uniquely fetch those values (instead of getting the whole web page and digging for what I'm interested in), it would be extraordinary.
In my DB there are special characters are stored like "Świętochłowice". So in Unix script while extracting these characters, I have used export LANG="universal.UTF-8" in order to make it English. which works fine.
But my question is how to retain this special character intact as, it is in DB?
So in UNIX script export LANG="universal.UTF-8" sqlplus -s uname/pwd@hostname/schema << ENDSQL | sed -e "s/Connected.//" -e "/^$/d" set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off serveroutput on size 10000 spool /path/out.txt Select name from tablename where is=12; spool off; exit ENDSQL
Output is "Swietochlowice" (makes sense),but how to get the output as "Świętochłowice" which is in DB? I have tried different NLS_LANG option, but no success.
I have created and formatted a mini test scenario. Execute the scripts I have below?
From the column adj_second_line, I am trying to clip everything from the characters '201' all the way to the end...or the NUMERIC start value after the word 'TYPE'. Whichever way is easier for you...
select * from testing Quote: ID NAME REDATA -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- 1 ABC,DEF,GHI,LKJ 000001 2 MNC,GHI,CTF 000002
2 rows selected
select * from testing where name like ('GHI,TCF');
now my output should be as above because GHI is common in both the names.if any of the where condition string matches the Name field then I need that record to be retrieved.
Quote: I have a table(table name is names) with column as name(varchar) . I have the following data for name column.
Miss Mississ Mississipp
I would like to find a nearest match for Mississippi, that means sql should return row that contains Mississipp( Row #3)
If I try to find nearest match for Mississirr then sql should return row that has column value Mississ (Row#2) Is this possible ? Here is the code for table creation and data.
create table names (name varchar2(20));
insert into names values('Miss'); insert into names values('Mississ'); insert into names values('Mississipp'); commit;
I'm trying to copy a particular set of rows into two tables. I want to change one varchar column to a different string in one of the tables, and create a new unique ID for the copied rows that will match on both tables. I also want that new unique ID to be one digit higer than the current highest unique ID being used across the tables as a whole.
create table testing_query_dtl (query_is number not null, query_type varchar2(20) not null, area_code varchar(4), stn_code varchar2(3)) create table testing_query_hdr (user_name varchar2(30) not null, query_indicator varchar2(1) not null , query_created date not null, query_last_used date not null, query_name varchar2(40) not null , query_is number not null) [code]...
I then used 'mymax+test_seq.nextval' but that won't avoid the unique constraint issue on the table testing_query_hdr and on the table testing_ query_ dtl increments the ID on EVERY row even when I don't want it to.
I'm facing some problem even after using INSTR function in Oracle.The problem is I have written the logic in the PL/SQL block which appends all the values fetched in a loop on the basis of whether the string is present or not.
For ex:
The first value fetched from the select query first is ABCDEFG which gets appended to a variable The next value fetched is AB even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG. The next value fetched is BCDEF even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG. The third Value fetched is ABCDEFG this will not get appended presently according to the logic which is correct.
writing that piece of code to append the value fetched which doesn't exactly match with the existing string
How to get 'MEAL' string? The length of the string can be various. Means, 'MEAL' can be 'INFLIGHT'. So, i cant use the substr. Is there a function that can recognize the pipeline? so that i can remove all the string before the pipeline and after the pipeline to get the string between the pipeline?
