SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Find Whether Exact String Is Present / Not In Given String
Mar 14, 2013
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 am required to manipulate a string in this way.For example ABCDEF)* to $ABCDEF). So I should find * and delete it and instead put $ in the beginning of string.
How can i identify all the occurences of raise_application_error(-20XXX, '<the message>'); within all database objects, and replace them with other text?
I 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) ,' ' ) = '-'
I have a requirement, where i need to find and replace values in delimited string. For example, the string is
"GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~ CREDIT~ A~N~ USD~ NULL~".
The 4th column gives month and year. I need to replace it with previous month name. For example:
"GL~1001~ 157747~ JAN-13~ CREDIT~ A~N~USD~NULL~".
I need to do same for last 12 months. I thought of first devide the values and store it in variable and then after replacing it with required value, join it back. I just wanted to know if there is any better way to do it?
Quote: I have a table(table name is names) with column as name(varchar) . I have the following data for name column.
Miss Mississ Mississipp
I would like to find a nearest match for Mississippi, that means sql should return row that contains Mississipp( Row #3)
If I try to find nearest match for Mississirr then sql should return row that has column value Mississ (Row#2) Is this possible ? Here is the code for table creation and data.
create table names (name varchar2(20));
insert into names values('Miss'); insert into names values('Mississ'); insert into names values('Mississipp'); commit;
select profilename from PROFILE where user_data like '%DATE_RULE!115%';
Output will be "Test A".Now, this is just a single value from RULES table used to find the data of PROFILE table.I will have to run the query on multiple values of RULES tables to find records containing a string format of sort "DATE_RULE!<rule_no>". How to search on WILD CARDs like these?
I have table called test script for table is given below
create table TEST ( col1 Number );
[Code]...
For these values Query is not returning values(3 and 4). So i want generic query to get this result. I am working on it but not able to generate proper query.
How to get 'MEAL' string? The length of the string can be various. Means, 'MEAL' can be 'INFLIGHT'. So, i cant use the substr. Is there a function that can recognize the pipeline? so that i can remove all the string before the pipeline and after the pipeline to get the string between the pipeline?
I have the following set of numbers that i am passing in as one input into a stored procedure.
234,456,234,456,567
Now i want to take this list of numbers and use it in an IN statement:
select * from table where column_a in (P_INPUT);
however, when i try this, it give me an invalid error. I have tried inserting single quote around each value and get the same invalid error. I tried a To_char around my column, which solved the error, but it never finds a match!
I want to create a strung together list of ATM IDs for each ATM Location (as one ATM Location(City) can have many ATMs(term ids) this is to allow transaction facts to be not broken down on several lines depending on how many term ids there are for that ATM Location (whenever a new ATM is set-up, a new row is created in the ATM table).
I know I can string it together using a function but I do not have rights to do it so I created SQL in which I feed in the ATM Location as a parameter. I want to do this for ALL ATMs but that is taking forever - is there any way to optimize the below code.
Select max(term_id),atm_location from (Select (SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(TERM_ID,' ' ) ) term_id,atm_location from (select term_id , atm_location from ATM_TABLE order by term_id asc ) Start with TERM_ID IN (Select max(Term_ID) from ATM_TABLE group by ATM_LOCATION )
