SQL & PL/SQL :: Function To Split A String?
Oct 18, 2004
I have a string like 10.01.03.04.234 or 234.05.07.032.� Is there a simple function in Oracle that would give me
10
01
03
04
234 as seperate values in a select clause.
I would like to do a
Select function(10.01.03.04.234)
into var1, var2, var3, var4, var5
from ....
I can accomplish the same with substr/length/instrs in a procedure...but looking for a simple function, if any, instead of writing a proc/function....

I 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.

i have a column called name in a table. now what iwould like to do is to check if it has two parts "paulh some" and then output the second part!
SELECT LTRIM(name,' '), length(name) length
FROM list
WHERE INSTR(name,' ') = 1;
but that doesnt work.. the fucntion is NOT checking for the space! if i use another character (a or b etc) it works..

How do i split a string based on a space. And then create a view with three columns of that split string.
For example if i have a table with Full name as a column how do i split that string and create a view with firstname, middlename, lastname as column names with the split string as data.
If you need anything clarifying write back.

I am trying to split comma separated string. My table has more than 5 lacks data. I have tried the following SQL but its taking more than 5 minutes. Any Alternative solution to return data quickly ?
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(order_id, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL) order_id
FROM order_detail
CONNECT BY REGEXP_SUBSTR(order_id,'[^,]+',1,LEVEL) IS NOT NULL
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(order_id, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL) order_id
FROM order_detail
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH(order_id) - LENGTH(REPLACE(order_id, ',')) + 1

Years ago, someone created a database in Oracle that was carried over and now sits in Oracle 10g. I am developing an application that queries this database and returns the result as XML.
Many (thousands) of rows have an item description that contains an ampersand. I want each of these pieces of data to have it written as & amp; (had to add a space so it would show up here, but you know what I mean) instead of &, but I don't feel like doing thousands of UPDATEs to change this.
Does Oracle have any global find/replace functions that I can call? I'd rather do one update statement that replaces all occurances of & with & amp; but I can't seem to find a function that will do this.
I'm thinking something that would work like:
UPDATE table SET column1=REPLACE(column1,oldstr,newstr);

I have a package includes 22 functions, each function just returns a sql template (clob type).
I also have a stored procedure called query_builder, query_builder has applicationName and statementName as parameters. I need to call these functions in the package based on the given applicationname and statementname.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Query_builder (ApplicationName varchar2, StatementName varchar2) IS
SQLSkeleton varchar2;
BEGIN
PackageName := ApplicationName||'_SKELETON;
SQLSkeleton := PackageName.StatementName; -- I know this will not work, but how can i call these function dynamically?

I'm trying to find a simple way of getting around this. I have a PL/SQL procedure which loops through a list of values in a table. These values are the actual names of the functions I want it to run in sequence. The problem is I can get the string value each time but I need to store the return value of each function into a number variable e.g.
BEGIN
open all_tests;
fetch all_tests BULK COLLECT INTO test_tabl;
close all_tests;
for myindex IN 1..test_tabl.count LOOP
time_taken := test_source1 ==> this will work but how do I avoid hardcoding the name of the function to be executed and use the test_name value instead?? time_taken is declared as a number (ie the return value of each function is a number)
test_detail := test_tabl(myindex).test_name; ==> test_detail now contains the string name of the function
dbms_output.put_line('Test detail is ' || test_detail);
end loop;

I have created a VIEW with a column containing user-defined aggregated values(stores the output in varchar2 data type). Some of the records exceed the maximum limit, for example varchar2(4000). I was suggested a PL/SQL function to check the length and build a string if necessary..
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION SUBURL(col1 IN VARCHAR2, col2 IN varchar2)
RETURN varchar2
[Code].....
Here, I got the following error,
Error(4,25): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ; not null range default character

I'm trying to extract the domain from email addresses like from clay500@msn.com I want to pull msn
I figured I would use the POSITION function, but it fails, even when I cut and pasted the example from the syntax guide
SELECT POSITION ('CAT' IN 'CATCH') FROM DUAL;
the guide says you get the answer 1
but I get ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
What gives?

I am on 11g.
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
8ABC

I 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

i'm working on this database assignment...and basically, no matter what I do my table seems to automatically split into a different table after 8 rows...i've tried googling it and using commands like....
set wrap off;
set numwidth 20;
and fiddling with the format of each column but nothing seems to work...i just want my table to show as one table
here's my script
create table patient
(patient_number number(4) primary key,
patient_name varchar(15) NOT NULL,
address varchar(30) NOT NULL,
telephone number(7) NOT NULL,
patient_status char(1) NOT NULL,
next_appt date,
balance number(5,2),
CHECK (balance >= 0),
CHECK (patient_status='N' OR patient_status='A' OR patient_status='I'));
[code]...
12 rows selected.the columns are actually aligned so don't worry about that...it's just the splitting of the rows.
