In table_A , the primary key is Col_A which is of data type number.I want to concatenate it with ' '
Col_A
______
123
124
select '|| col_A ||'||','
from
Table_A;
The output should be
'123',
'124'
I can concatenate a comma but not single quotes.
I searched the forum but could not find an answer. I am creating an extract via SPOOL that will send the output to a CSV file. I am comfortable concatenating commas in between the fields, the problem lies in text fields such as last_name which may contain a comma. The requirements of my client state to put double quotes around text fields ONLY if they contain a comma (so as not to throw off the CSV file obviously).
The only thing I could think of was a nested DECODE checked every character of every text field for a , and if it finds one to put " and if not to put nothing. This would get very tedious to program it as there are many text fields and they can be very long. I may even run out of nested DECODE statements (I forget what the limit is now).
I have an script.sql that receives as a parameter an string.
example:
@C:/myscript.sql "o'connor"
user_account_value varchar2(120) := '&1';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Select * from Table where column = :1 " USING user_account_value I am not sure how to deal with string that contains single quotes.
If the parameter were passed as : "o''connor" this will work
If the parameter is pass as: "o'connor" this will not work.
so my question is what options do I have to deal with dynamic queries and single quotes.
I tried replacing replace(myParameter,'''',''''''); but not working well.
how to write a select query to display a number column value in between single quotes. Ex:i have a emp table in that sal column is a number type.
Ex:
select sal from emp;
sal
----
1234
231
3456
3211
23445I want to display the same above result in b/w single quotes.
ex:
sal
----
'1234'
'231'
'3456'
'3211'
'23445'
for this i need to write a query,
I have a string: 'VOLT,AGE'..
How can I convert this string to: 'VOLT','AGE' using REGEXP_REPLACE...
I am having trouble escaping the single quotes in my query
I have a requirement like:
Create Table A
( a number,
CreationDate DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (CreationDate)
(
Partition p_03122012 VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2012-12-04 00:00:00'),
[Code]...
NOTE: Partition are named as p_ddmmyyyy where ddmmyyyy is date.
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A'
Now my requirement is :
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A' and partition_name > 'p_ddmmyyyy' (Here I want ddmmyyyy to be from sysdate i.e. date we get from - Select to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyy') from dual
i.e. for today it becomes
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A' and partition_name > 'P_04122012'
So it returns me two rows.
How can I do it in single quotes.
I am trying to use model clause to get comma separate single row for multiple rows. My scenario is like this:
SQL> desc test1
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------
ID NUMBER
VALUE CHAR(6)
SQL> select * from test1 order by id;
ID VALUE
---------- ------
1 Value1
2 Value2
3 Value3
4 Value4
5 Value4
6
7 value5
8
The query that I have is:
SQL> with t as
2 ( select distinct substr(value,2) value
3 from test1
4 model
5 ignore nav
6 dimension by (id)
7 measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value)
8 rules
9 ( value[any] order by id = value[cv()-1] || ',' || value[cv()]
10 )
11 )
12 select max(value) oneline
13 from t;
ONELINE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value4,,value5,
what I want is : null value should not come and duplicate value should not come (Value4 in output above)
Here is a sample function which takes in a string of CSV fields and prints the third field :
create or replace function restr(istr varchar2) return INTEGER
is
var_1 varchar2(30);
begin
dbms_output.put_line('input:'||istr);
select regexp_substr(',' || istr,1,3,null,1) into var_1 from dual;
[Code]..
When I pass an input string as :
JOHN,MARY,O'DONNEL,O'CONNELLY,MARK
with quotes/apostrophe in it to the function then it prints the input string in the first dbms_output but errors out at the select with ORA-01760.
how we can use the quote/apostrophe character here ?
In the code segment below (hope it appears right) I can understand the use of single quotes in the first two examples but in the third example below I had to use double quotes around the word - Today's - and I not sure I understand why?! I'm aware of the rules ...If you want a single quote to appear in the middle of a string add another single quote to it.If you want a single quote to appear at the beginning or end of a string add 2 single quotes to it.If you want a single quote to appear on its own add 3 single quotes to it.
SQL> select 'This isn''t' from dual;
'THISISN''
----------
This isn't
SQL> select to_number('34@456#789', '999G999D999', 'nls_numeric_characters=''#@'' ') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('34@456#789','999G999D999','NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=''#@''')
---------------------------------------------------------------------
34456.789
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'fm"Today''s" ddth Month YYYY') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'FM"TODAY''S"DDTHMONTHYYYY')

Today's 16th August 2013
I have a table which I will call 'fruit basket' which contains the following data:
basket_ref, fruit, fruit_serial
1, apple, 1
1, banana, 2
1, pear, 3
2, apple, 1
2, lemon, 2
What I want to produce is a table in the following format
basket_ref, all_fruit
1, apple banana pear
2, apple lemon
There could theoretically be any amount of fruit in a given basket, so I will need to set up some kind of loop in order to read each record from the original table. I am not sure how it would be best to do this.
I have the following info in a table:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
1100572010053
2100552010056
2100551010054
The output that I need is:
LEVELPARENTPOSCHILD
1100571010055
21005510.1010054
21005510.2010056
1100572010053
If there are even more levels, I also need those childs to be shown right below their parent and with POS as 10.20.10 )(for the first item below POS 10.20.
I'd like to concatenate my 3 columns into one. I have this text item(NAME) and i want my columns lname, fname and mname to be bound into name text item.
this is so far my code to do the concat:
SELECT lname
INTO :ADVISEMENT.name
FROM students
WHERE :ADVISEMENT.name = lname || ',' || fname || ',' || mname;
but it didn't appear at all.
declare
v_a varchar2(2000) := 'abcd';
v_e varchar2(2000) := '6666';
v_d varchar2(2000) := 'example';
v_final varchar2(4000);
begin
v_final := '"v_a"'||'''|'''||'"v_e"'||'''|'''||'"v_d"';
-- v_final := '"v_a"';
dbms_output.put_line('v_final: '||v_final);
end;
/
above gives me :
v_final: "v_a"'|'"v_e"'|'"v_d"
so it is printing the variable names, But I want to see values, like this: "abcd"|"6666"|"example"
I am trying to replace the string_name in the following execute immediate statement with a concatenated
string_||v_variable.
execute immediate
'select
table_name
from
user_tables
where table_name = :a'
into v_table
using 'string_name';
I tried different declaration and concatenations but nothing worked so far.
This is a simple question, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Here's the basic query:
select distinct accountno, parcelno, streetno||' '|| predirection ||' '|| streetname||' '|| streettype||' '|| postdirection||' '|| unitname||', '|| propertycity
from tblacctpropertyaddress ....
What I want to do is add is this logic: If Predirection is null, then no space between streetno & streetname. Same for postdirection and unitname. (for example, if both postdirection and unitname are null, there are no spaces between streettype and the comma before propertycity)
Also, when unitname is not null, I want to add the string "Unit " prior to the returned value in unitname.
i m create one function in which i have to concatenate result likeDate is 19/07/2010'. i tried to concatenate in select statement. in this case function is created successfully but it gives error when it run.

I have a dynamic query which has this clause in it: WHERE [COLUMN NAME] IN (' || theString || ')
My problem is that theString is being passed in through a C# call and the variable is a bunch of strings concatenated together and separated by a comma. Ex: theString = "'val1','val2'"
How many quotes are supposed to go around val1 and val2?
I've tried the following and none work:
'val1','val2'
''val1','val2''
''val1'',''val2''
'''val1'',''val2'''
''''val1'',''val2''''
When I run the procedure in Oracle it works with '''val1'',''val2'''
I have three database fields on my form , field_1 , field_2 and field_3 , user will enter the data in field_1 , and sometime he may not enter in field_2 ,
I want to bring the value of field_1 as it is into field_3 if he does not enter anything in field_2, if he enters the data in field_2 , then field_1 will get concatenated with field_2 and gets copied into field_3.Is there a way to do this automatically at form level using a trigger when-validate-item.In short this should be done after user presses the enter key on field_2.

Some time String fields may have double quotes in it, at that time it is rejecting the records. how to handle those records to load into table.
I have control file written like
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE MYTABLE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
but i have data in csv file like
660501,1,"0187591","12"PEGHOOKW/SA",,"04/03/2002",
Since there is an extra double quote (denoting inch) in the third column, im getting an error. Is there any way to avoid this error without modifying the csv file.
I want to remove more than one space from a string by excluding double quotes.
For example:
I/P: Item .getChildByType(" Agreement").getParent( ) .hasChildByType("Agreement ")
O/P : Item.getChildByType(" Agreement").getParent().hasChildByType("Agreement ")
Any way to replace the Double Quotes used to enclose column names with an alternative character. This is the SQL I have now that Works!
