PL/SQL :: String Search Query In Any Columns / Table In Database?
Sep 4, 2012
I am trying to search a word which starts with 'FRA' in any columns and any tables.
I am unable to find what is generating a join datasets in the webservice from teh database as it is not apparent within the 100 tables.
I ahve looked into
Re: How to search in all rows and all columns?
Re: SQL Search Query?
but none of these queries is working out for me as I am a user with no tables on its own but rather a user quering other tables.I think its a tweak on which dat a dictionary I can view
select distinct substr (table_name, 1, 14) "Table",
substr (t.column_value.getstringval (), 1, 50) "Column/Value"
from all_cons_columns,
table
(xmlsequence
(dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype ('select ' || column_name
|| ' from ' || table_name
|| ' where upper('
|| column_name
|| ') like upper(''%' || 'fra'
|| '%'')'
).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*')
)
) t
order by "Table";
running teh above query got me thsi error:
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_XMLGEN", line 288
ORA-06512: at line 1
19202. 00000 - "Error occurred in XML processing%s"
*Cause: An error occurred when processing the XML function
*Action: Check the given error message and fix the appropriate problem
I have an application which deploys the data to Oracle database. It has more than 25 tables and many columns. It does not have any document explaining the deployment, so I am kind of doing reverse engineering here.
I need a script which will fetch the column name or at least table names which will match with either some string or number? I found few examples on net to find out number. But I am struggling to make it work for string.
I can not work on stored proc, as I do not have access to create that on server. So, any script will work.
I am using apex 4.1. I must hide phone number columns in my IR report, but at the same time the values of that columns should be available to search for using IR Search Field. is there a way to do this ?
if not, that means I have to :
1- Add a text filed P1_PHONE 2- edit my report query to something similar to > Select * from Table where :P1_phone in (mobile1,mobile2) or :p1_phone is null 3- add button to refresh the report.
but the item P1_PHONE should be on the header of the Report region. is there a way to do this. I am using theme 23 page template without sidebars Report template : Reports Region.
how to put the item P1_PHONE on the tab of the page. Just similar to the Search item of in the Application Builder.

I want to search for a pattern and replace with a string. I can easily achieve the same in oracle 10g with REGEXP_REPLACE , I want to get the similar solution in 9i.
Eg.
I have to search for a string pattern 1234 5678 9012 6736 , I want to replace the same with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
My Scenario is'....456re0,50kg400,500rfabs43qre30,25kg150,354rf658....'
there is possible,using regexp_substr or other way to get the values, 0,50 and 400,500 and 30,25 and 150,354? I'm using [^re]+[$kg] and the string comes, but only the first occurence..

how to use APEX_ITEM.text for where the source for this comes from user input values and not for an underlying table.I have a report where three columns are coming from an actual table (one being a checkbox for selection) but then also have two additional fields on the screen that are not from a table but placeholder fields for user's to enter data.
For example, my query looks like this:
select apex_item.checkbox2(10,id), name, telephone, apex_item.text(20,NULL) as "Date Contacted", apex_item.textarea(30,NULL,5,80) as "Comment" from my_table
I am not seeing any values for the two user fields when entering values and doing a view source?

There is a table called cd_details. It has fields like id, name, language, type etc.I need a form where the user can search the database on basis of language and name and then display the other details. I used a data block wizard and given a push_buttonwith (execute_query). But it's very clumsy. For eg, if the user presses next the next button then all the records are being displayed. Is there any way to do this thing in a better way?
