SQL & PL/SQL :: Replacing 4 Digit Number In A Given String With The Same Number Incremented By 10000?
Jun 17, 2010i want to replace 4 digit number in a given string with the same number incremented by 10000.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Converting Number Column To Date Column
Dec 25, 2012I have a partitioned table with ~50 million rows that was setup with a number(10) instead of a date column. All the data in the table is ALWATS in this format YYYYMMDD
CREATE TABLE T1.monthly
(
SEQ_NUM NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
DAY_DK NUMBER(10) NOT NULL
)
TABLESPACE USERS
PCTUSED 0
PCTFREE 10
[code]........
some sample data
SEQ_NUM DAY_DK
---------- ----------
990 20121225
991 20121225
992 20121225
993 20121225
994 20121225
995 20121225
996 20121225
997 20121225
998 20121225
999 20121225
When I use the exchange partition method the parition is able to move the data from "monthly" table to "mth" table.
desc t1.mth; ### my temorary table
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
SEQ_NUM NUMBER(10)
DAY_DK NUMBER(10)
Than when I try to alter my temp table "mth". I get an error table must be empty to change column types.
alter table n546830.mth modify (DAY_DK date);
Next I tried making my temporary table "mth" a date column. When I an the exchange partition command I get the following error:
alter table t1.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012
with table t1.mth without validation;
alter table n546830.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012 with table n546830.mth without validation
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Method I can use to convert a number(10) to date column and keep the information in a table. Note, I don't care about HH:MM:SS as I never had that information to begin with and would be happy to set that part of the date column to all zeroes "00:00:00"
Difference Between Number And String?

SQL & PL/SQL :: String Together Number Of LIKEs With ORs
Jun 28, 2010If I have a "smart" key in a database, say one for which each byte of the key is meaningful, is it generally a good idea to string together a number of LIKEs with ORs? For example, if I want to select people where the last two bytes of that smart code are in a certain list and write:
where smart_key LIKE '%02'
or smart_key LIKE '%03'
or smart_key LIKE '%07'
or smart_key LIKE '%19'
or smart_key LIKE '%23'
or smart_key LIKE '%30'
or smart_key LIKE '%33'
or smart_key LIKE '%34'
or smart_key LIKE '%41'
etc.
Say I string a lot of those together, with 40 or 50 ORs. Right off the bat is it fair to say that's a bad query for Oracle, or do substrings of this sort generally perform well?
PL/SQL :: Extract Number From String
Oct 21, 2012I am using this Regexp to extract numbers from a string, and I doubt that there is a more efficient way to get this done:

SQL & PL/SQL :: Find A Negative Number In String?
Apr 24, 2012I am currently working on a Data Dictionary project where we need to run a few rules against the give data sources to see if they all comply together.
One of the rule is to check if the no. is negative or not. So for that what I tried to do was to check if first the field is number or not and then check on if it is negative or not.
This is the code I am currently trying on and is not looking good.
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL
WHERE decode(DECODE( TRANSLATE('-123.45','-0.123456789',''), NULL, 1,0), 1,substr('-123.45',1,1) ,' ' ) = '-'

3.>> Comparing string and number >>

whats the logic behind 99 being returned for thirdone.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Finding Number Of Pattern Occurrences In String?
Feb 4, 2012The code which I am working on consists of an incoming dynamic string which be in the form of binary digits. The max size of the string will be 12 digits. For example, the string can be '111011000001', '000000000000', '111111011111', etc.
I need to find the number of occurences of '111' in the incoming string. Say in the 1st example, result will be 1, in the 2nd example result will be 0, and in the third example, the result will be 3.
I have been trying to capture the string length and replacing the variables '111' to find the number of occurences, but it isn't giving me the result that I want. This is what I have tried
SQL> conn hr/hr
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "HR"
[Code]....
I searched the forum and found a similar topic, and following that guideline, I even tried dividing the string with the length of the pattern. It works in some scenarios (the first and second examples mentioned below), while it fails in some scenarios (third example mentioned below)
SQL> select (length('11101110111') - length(replace('11101110111','111','')))/length('111') as occurences from dual;
OCCURENCES
----------

Count Number Of Lines In Multi Line String
Aug 2, 2007I have a string like this:
s_list varchar2(234) :=
'asdasd
asfsdf
dsfsdfs
dfsdfs';
How can I find the number of lines in this string? I tried using
INSTR('s_list', '

but it gives 0.
Is there any inbuilt function/proc SQL or PL/SQL which can do this?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Split String Function For Large Number Of Records?
Aug 6, 2010I have created a function that is used for splitting a comma separated string & give the output in tabular form.here is the function
Here I have used CLOB as my input string will be huge(greater than max limit of varchar2)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SPLIT_TBL_CLOB AS TABLE OF CLOB;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CSVTOSTRING_CLOB
(
P_LIST CLOB,
P_DEL VARCHAR2 := ','
) RETURN SPLIT_TBL_CLOB PIPELINED
[code]....
But here I am facing 2 problems.
1. The function is not accepting a large string & I am getting the error
ORA-01704: string literal too long
2. The function is going for an infinite loop.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Pattern Matching And Updating Of Number Values In String?
Nov 5, 2011I have a table(PSUSEROBJTYPE) with a long field(PTCUSTFORMAT) containing a row value value in the form:
#1|0|0|0|0|#2|1|0|0|1|#3|1|0|0|0|#4|0|0|0|0
Here, I want to update the above field value to a value in the form:
#2|0|0|0|0|#3|1|0|0|1|#4|1|0|0|0|#5|0|0|0|0
This is nothing but finding each occurrence of (#n) in the above string and replacing it by (#n+1). (i.e #1 is replaced by #2,#2 is replaced by #3).

Where should I set global_names=false ?
SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Find Whether Exact String Is Present / Not In Given String
Mar 14, 2013I'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
Converting 2 Rows Into 1
Aug 16, 2007i have 2 tables
A B
id a.id
name
type
There are at most 2 entries of a in b. Depending on the value of the type column in B, this determines whether the entry should be male or female. I want to have a select statement that will retrieve 2 rows into one row essentially like below, how is this done:
id male_name female_name
1 paul paula
the column names will appear as such, if its a 0 its a male name if its 1 its a female name, there will generally be 2 entries in B for 1 value of a.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Converting Ref Cursor Into New Table
Sep 21, 2010I am working on a POC. The goal is to do a
select * from function('input')
where the function dynamically returns different tables.
I have gotten to the point where I can return the cursor but I cannot format it as a table to use in the query. It return's it as XML. This is my function:
create or replace
FUNCTION CAMS_FUN_GEN_REPORTS(PARAM1 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS_refCURSOR AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
p_recordset SYS_refCURSOR;
begin
OPEN p_recordset FOR 'SELECT * from STATS_FLAGGED_TOTALS_ME';
RETURN p_recordset;
END;
END CAMS_FUN_GEN_REPORTS;
This is my query:
select * from CAMS_FUN_GEN_REPORTS('')
So normally you would do this
select * from TABLE(CAMS_FUN_GEN_REPORTS('') as tabletype)
But I will never know the end result table as it will be dynamic so I have to find a way to cast the result of the function into a new table I can select on.
I have looked into pipe lining also but from what I can tell you still need to know the table definition. Which I can't know from the client side. The server will control the 'routing' and thus the end result of the select.
PL/SQL :: Converting A Row Into Columns Values?
Sep 6, 2012I have a row which contains 6 columns where I want that data to be shown in the form of columns as shown here:
From:
select item1, item2, item3, amt1, amt2, amt3 from item_table where sno=1; <----- returns 1 row as below
ITEM1 ITEM2 ITEM3 AMT1 AMT2 AMT3
---------- ------------ ------------- ----------- ------------ ----------
AAA BBB CCC 10.00 20.00 15.00
Data explanation: item1's (AAA) price is amt1 (10.00), item2's (BBB) price is amt2 (20.00) and item3's (CCC) price is amt3 (15.00). OK.
Now I want that data to convert into columns as shown here:
To:
ITEMS AMT
--------- ---------
AAA 10.00
BBB 20.00
CCC 30.00
I want a SQL to display this data.
I found one query which converts a row into columns, but this does not serve my requirement: [for your reference only]
SQL> select substr( the_string
, decode( level, 1, 1, instr(the_string,',',1,level-1)+1)
, decode( instr(the_string,',',1,level), 0, length(the_string), instr(the_string,',',1,level) - decode( level, 1, 0, instr(the_string,',',1,level-1))-1)

from DUAL)
connect by level <= length(the_string)-length(replace(the_string,','))+1
Sending / Converting From CLOB
Jun 15, 2012We are able to insert CLOB into database, Using oracle Text I'm able to search inside clob. [two questions solved ]. The question arise when we need to send this data to application either as file or as text(varchar2).
I'm able to generate file from CLOB using function,unfortunately it resides inside db and developer is not able to access it.
1)There is option to mount application partition inside db and export file over there but it is not viable option according to management.
2)I've Googled the solution to create JAVA API. Which will perform OS command like scp to send file from db to app(or any remote host). For security reason this option is also dropped.
3)I tried dbms_lob.substr but actual text inside clob is too long. File generated from CLOB sized around 5 MB.
So I guess it requires lot of effort if I wanted to convert into varchar2 as out parameter inside function.
So, to give CLOB data to developer as file or as varchar2. I'm not able to get any solution. Is there any other option using database to convert to string/varchar2 from CLOB ? Or do I need to drill down more into third option.
I'm having oracle 10.2.0.5.
