PL/SQL :: Replace All Characters Of Variable With Number?
Jun 3, 2013
i am working on the oracle 10g.currently i want to build one procedure,where i get a variable which contain character as well as number.my aim in the procedure is to replace all the character like ( a,b..z) in this variable with the number field.
example
suppose i have one variable say
var := 'MALT011000012345MTLCAST001SMT84'
now i want to replace each character say
A with value 23
B with value 56
L with value 99
9 i will get these value form another table).
i will have handle thousands of variable and they can start with any character and they contain character anywhere.

replace the first 5 commas with the character '|' in the below string:
'Red, White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Gold and many others, like Black and Silver'
I tried:
SELECT regexp_replace('Red, White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Gold and many others, like Black and Silver',
',','|',1,5) from dual
but it only replaces the 5th comma.

I have a function that will replace the contents of the input parameter and replace any non-numeric characters.� I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to code this (oracle 8i or higher).
function strip_non_numeric(p_string in varchar2) return varchar2 is
Result varchar2(100) := '' ;
x_length number;
begin
SELECT LENGTH(p_string) INTO X_LENGTH FROM DUAL;
FOR i in 1..X_LENGTH LOOP
[Code]....

I have error message when running duplicate : FRM-21011: PL/SQL unhandled exception ORA-06502..I'm trying to hold 4000 characters in a variable like what do below:
if s_str is NULL then
s_str := eachcol.column_name||'{{'||
name_in(name_in('system.cursor_block')||'.'||eachcol.column_name)||'{{';
else
s_str := s_str||eachcol.column_name||'{{'||
name_in(name_in('system.cursor_block')||'.'||eachcol.column_name)||'{{';
end if;
It's simple variable to hold value but still can't get by large string though.

In current form, i use *pll file to pass Global.<variable name> to the form *.fmb
The problem is that if i copy a string of 4000 characters (which i need to) to Global.<variable name>, it will automatically cut a whole chunk to shorter string (less than 1000).
Is there a better way to that Global.<variable name> can hold 4000 characters?

One table ACCOUNT_T.CREATED_T is number (38). It is mapped to /ACCOUNT's PIN_FLD_CREATED_T, which is timestamp. ACCOUNT_T table has one record, CREATED_T = 1362063600. This field is displayed at the GUI (Customer Center) as Feb 28, 2013 So my question, how to convert the number value (1362063600) to a date value (Feb 28, 2013)?

I've created a stored procedure which creates itself a view (a MV to be honest); the instructions to create this m.view are dinamically built insinde my procedure, so each time i run it, based on the different input parameters, i've got a different result (my output m.view can have three colums the first time, or ten the next time) how can I read my output view to put the data into file? I've tried with "select * bulk collect into my_array from my_ output_ view"...after declaring "my_array" as a varying array with the max number of colums I could ever have...but nothing: if the array dimension doesn't match the number of columns that i've on my view, i.e. i receive "ora-00947 not enough values" error.
Is there a method to dimension dinamucally the array to store my data? Or should I change the code to fetch some other way the data i need to put to a file?

My goal is this:I have a table which is being updated/changed by lay people with certain types of values. Constraints are given to them, but they need not conform to them as they update the table in excel.Now, I want to validate this table every-time before I use it. i.e. implement a script which can be run to verify is all the values are in the right format for further usage.
I have a variable number of columns (i.e. users can add further columns as their requirements change).From columns 3 to 'n' (depending on table given) the values should be 'Yes' or 'No'. How do I check this for a variable number of columns in PL/SQL?

I have developed a form which is running fine most of the time,
but some time it gives error
unable to insert record and if we see detail it shows
ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
error.jpg is attached. if there is some problem, it should not pass any entry and if there is no problem then why it gives error of illegal variable?

the problem below:
I have a table AlertData below:
DeptIDMONTHCount
192010-041392
192010-051134
192010-061094
192010-071333
292010-042217
[Code]...
Within each DeptID group I need to calculate absolute change of 'Count' column between previous and current months and compare change value with threshold.
If ratio >= threshold N number of times I need to make a note of that event. Threshold = 0.1 N = 2 - alert needs to exceed threshold two consequtive times
Here is data processing algorithm:
1. Calculate change between month 2010-04 and 2010-05: abs((1134/1392 - 1))= 0.18;
2. check change value against threshold: 0.18 > 0.1
3. Threshold was exceeded, set alert_fired_cnt counter to = 1
4. Once alert fired it creates a baseline for comparison - I need to use Count from month 2010-04: We're now in month 2010-06: abs(1094 / 1392 - 1)=0.21
5. check change value against threshold: 0.21 > 0.1
6. Threshold was exceeded, increment alert_fired_cnt counter by 1 = 2
7. At this point alert exceede threshold two times, I need to set a alert_triggered flag = 1 and reset alert_fired_cnt = 0 for further calculations
8. We're in montn 2010-07: abs(1333/1294-1)=0.03
8. check change value against threshold: 0.03 < 0.1
9. Since threshold was not exceeded, keep alert_fired_cnt counter to = 0
Above algorithm needs to be run for all DeptID groups.
I load above data into an associative array and loop through elements. I am having trouble keeping computations within each DeptID group.

I want to add a variable number of new columns to an existing table temp (with column provided).
Example:
NewColumnNo = 4
-> the columns shall be named rate_1, rate_2, rate_3 and rate_4
-> the values shall be = Column / NewColumnNo
The result shall be like this:
create table temp_res (prodid integer, rate_1 number, rate_2 number, rate_3 number, rate_4 number);
insert into temp_res values(1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(2, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(3, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(4, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(5, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(6, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(7, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(8, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);
insert into temp_res values(9, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1);

I have a table MOM i.e. Minutes of meeting where important points in a meeting are captured. Now these points may include words like, "don't" or "can't" which will be recorded first in a text file and later copied to the table MOM. Rest of the details are unimportant. All I want to know is how do I enter these words without getting the ORA-01756 error? Do I need to always correct them before entering or is there perhaps another way?

TestCase
DROP TABLE test ;
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER, cnt_str VARCHAR2(200));
INSERT INTO test (id, cnt_str) VALUES
(1,'AKRN000002,1451-1473,00000A,74,AKRN000002,1475-14791000000A,8010AKRN000002,1481-1492,00000A,9310AKRN000002,1494-1500')
[code]...
The requirement is in each of the string where there is comma after the number and the number is prefixed by "-" character,
the comma after the number should be replaced by '10'.
For example in the second record where ID = 2,
CNT_STR is '00000B,1-251000000D,26-32,ADTW000301,2858-2875'.
In this string -32, should become -3210 and resulting string should be '00000B,1-251000000D,26-3210ADTW000301,2858-2875'
Expected Result.
ID CNT_STR

For example i've a select query as below.
1.select store_name, store_id from stores
2.select store_name, (select store_id from inventory where store_id=<somevalue>) from stores
3. select store_name, store_id from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)
based on above examples i need to replace all the columns(oly the column names not the column names in the subquery) in a sql query .
is there is any oracle function to achieve this?
and the result shud be as follows if i replace with STORE_DET.
1.select STORE_DET from stores
2.select STORE_DET from stores
3. select STORE_DET from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)

I have a string. For example "I have too many files. There are 1000 files. I have to delete them." Sometimes the string can be "I have too many files. There are 115003 files. I have to delete them." Whatever the srting is, I need to change the string to "I have too many files. There are 10 files. I have to delete them." replace the "1000" or "115003" to "10". This portion of the string is always an integer. I use Oracle 11G2.

So many of the queries in our database query by an account but an account is allowed to vary by prefix and so queries are written similar to account like '%suffix'
Our DBA has rejected the use of context indexes and friends to deal with this.
as an aside and I'm probably going to regret going into this much detail but our model is
A->>B->>C
typically the queries want to fetch C's for a customer defined by A.account
A, B, C are all partitioned with partition key created_date
however, only C is typically queried with created_date as a qualifier. A and B are related by joins from A->>B and B->>C
when queries are written to use '%' leading wildcards often it results in a full table scan across multiple partitions. on any given day all we care about are the most recent C's for the customer where customer is defined by A.account.
I recently had an idea whereby fields such as A.Account could also be kept(denormalized) in the C table
the idea is if the queries were written to use C.account like '%bla' instead of A.account like '%bla' then because C is always qualified with the partition key ie. C.created_date that would at worst result in a full partition scan only. this is considerably less expensive than doing a full table scan of A. The IO cost of doing that is huge.
populating the C.account is a simple before insert or update trigger. when you insert a C you have a foreign key to a B and B has a foreign key to A. A and B are always created before any C is seen for any given C. When a C is seen A and B already exist in the database.

I have one emp table, in which i have sal, ename,empno etc columns. Now i am trying to replace each digit of salary with '*'. like if salary is 10000(it has five digit) then it will be replace by *****, but unable to do so. I don't how to achieve this, can we use translate or replace function in this.
Well i have achieved this by using case statement but where hardcoding is done...see the case below:-
select substr(ename,1,8),case when length(sal)=2
then '**'
when length(sal)=3
then '***'
when length(sal) = 4
then'****'
when length(sal)=5 then
