Is there any function to count number of specific character inside string. For example :
my string is 'ABCEF AYZA'
I want to calculate how many 'A' exist in my string. result should be = 3
how to count different characters from a string ....
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table with the following column and data is like this.
SQL>CREATE TABLE test (
column1 varchar2(50));
SQL>INSERT INTO test VALUES('ABC XYZ');
SQL>INSERT INTO test VALUES('MNO PQR');
SQL>INSERT INTO test VALUES('ABCD ABC');
SQL>INSERT INTO test VALUES('PQR MNOP');

How can I find out that exact count of '~'?
SELECT NVL(LENGTH('~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~')-LENGTH(REPLACE('~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~','~','')),0) result
FROM dual;
how to get last 4 characters in a string. But i don't know the length , for example the string is
abcdefghij
i want only ghij.
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 am looking for a SQL query which checks for special character(s) in a string and remove them if any.
for e.g: input string : 'ABCD $ & * # 123 Test'
expected output should be in upper case : 'ABCD123TEST'
we do not know the position of special characters and also what kind of special characters will come as input.
I have a following table,
create table test1(col1 varchar2(20));
insert into test1 values('4711-3/01');
I believe we need to use Translate function to get rid of special characters, But I would not be knowing what sort of special charecters which appear in the string, In that case how do I use Translate?
I have a table like mentioned below
create table test1( test_no number, test_description varchar2(100));
insert into test1 values (1,'ABC£¥');
insert into test1 values (2,'BCD£¥');
Now I am selecting from the above table and the expected rest it should have shown is as shown below
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABC£¥
2 BCD£¥
But instead of showing the extended ascii characters, it is showing some different characters as shown below
select * from test1;
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABCLY
2 BCDLY
I have an requirement where i need to fetch the exact ascii characters for £ and ¥ instead of L and Y respectively.
A sample query to check whether a string contains 2 upper characters and numbers are present in that character using regular_exp .

I need to remove the alpha characters from a string, leaving only numbers, but I am getting unexpected results:
SQL> SELECT TRANSLATE('3N', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', NULL) a FROM DUAL;
A
-
I thought this would leave the 3 from the 3N, but it is returning an empty string. For my application, the string '3N' could be any length, will only contain letters and numbers, and the letters will always come at the end, but there could be more than one letter
VALID INPUT samples:
4
25
11F
361NG

I have some strings like
'Net Amount Payable by an Individual',
'Net Amount Payable by an Individual+Tax',
'Total Amount Payable towards Service',
'Total Amount Payable towards Service.+Tax'

Net_Amo_Pay_by_an_Ind
Net_Amo_Pay_by_an_Ind_Tax
Tot_Amo_Pay_tow_Ser
Tot_Amo_Pay_tow_Ser_Tax
I request to let me know the way to get the ouput as mentioned.

I 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', '
', 1, 1)
but it gives 0.
Is there any inbuilt function/proc SQL or PL/SQL which can do this?
I need writing sql which can return the Count of Comma's in a string. Here is my table and data

INSERT INTO TEST1 VALUES(1456,'PP MR');
INSERT INTO TEST1 VALUES(1589,NULL);
INSERT INTO TEST1 VALUES(1897,'PP MR,FTR CLR ON');
Here is the output I am expecting

I could do it using the below query using union with the rownum.
select * from (
select rownum rn, c1,c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn =1
union
select * from (
select rownum rn, decode(c1,null,null),c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn between 2 and 3
Is there any other way of displaying using a single sql query.
I have a query that seems to repeatedly call an index scan on a table for reasons I'm not sure about. Why it would be doing the index scan on totaldwellingarea in the dimensions table (DIMEN_PID_TDWELLAREA) repeatedly? This only seems to happen when I put on the range clause d.totaldwellingarea between scr.lowvalue and scr.highvalue.
I am using Oracle version 9.2.0.3.
select d.propertyid,d.totaldwellingarea, e.size_, scr.size_
from eqid e, dimensions d, brt_eval.size_code_ranges scr
where e.style not in ('1','A','G','L') and e.size_ = '0'
and d.propertyid = e.propertyid and e.style = scr.style and d.totaldwellingarea between scr.lowvalue and scr.highvalue;
CREATE
TABLE "BRT_ADMIN"."EQID"
(
"PROPERTYID" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"EQID" CHAR(10 BYTE),
"ZONE_" CHAR(1 BYTE),
"AREA" CHAR(1 BYTE),

After running my report I generate into the file by delimited type and then I save as it by XLS extension.The problem is each row of this excel file has header repeatedly!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have this error (and solution):
ORA-02085: database link string connects to string
Cause: a database link connected to a database with a different name. The connection is rejected.
Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it connects to, or set global_names=false.
Where should I set global_names=false ?
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
When we execute select count(*) from table_name it returns the number of rows.
What does count(1) do? What does 1 signifies over here? Is this same as count(*) as it gives the same result on execution?
difference between count(1) and count(*). As i know count(*) will give number of rows irrespective of null and count(1) will not count the null.My Oracle version is 10 g.
