SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Replace Values Within Loop
Jun 26, 2012
I have one emp table, in which i have sal, ename,empno etc columns. Now i am trying to replace each digit of salary with '*'. like if salary is 10000(it has five digit) then it will be replace by *****, but unable to do so. I don't how to achieve this, can we use translate or replace function in this.
Well i have achieved this by using case statement but where hardcoding is done...see the case below:-
select substr(ename,1,8),case when length(sal)=2
then '**'
when length(sal)=3
then '***'
when length(sal) = 4
then'****'
when length(sal)=5 then
[code]....

I have a large table with a few billion rows. I need to find ITEM_NAME values in ITEM_MASTER table containing " " (spaces) and replace them with other values. This has to be done within the same script. The replacement values could be any characters or numbers, but not spaces.
The whole reason for this table is testing big databases, so it does not matter what it contains. The reason I need to replace them is that this table will be dumped to a space delimited flat file and spaces within values are not acceptable.

I'm tired to add missing characters in this list...
What I would like is that all characters with an accent or diacritics should be replace by their "base" letter (ë -> e) and Greek letters to be replace by their corresponding values (ω (omega) -> o)

How to create this pl/sql process to add elements to a nested table or varray within a loop. Here's the scenario: I have an apex package that has some pl/sql processes and some stored procedures. I am dealing with Inspection Areas. An Inspection Area has several sectors. I already have the loop that lists all the Inspection Areas and a loop inside that loop that lists all the sectors. There is an if statement that determines whether or not the sector name gets stored in the varray or table. I am not sure how to correctly do this and am not sure whether to use a nested table or varray. I've posted somewhat of a pseudo coded example below
If (you_belong_in_table) then
variable := store_me_in_varray /* OR */
variable := array_type(sector.sector_name)
i := i + 1;
end if;
/* Now we output our varray or table */
start loop
output(sector names one by one)
end loop I hope this makes sense. I more so just need the syntax to be able to continually added values to a table or varray while I'm already inside a loop; and also how to output those values end the end as well.

I have a table MOM i.e. Minutes of meeting where important points in a meeting are captured. Now these points may include words like, "don't" or "can't" which will be recorded first in a text file and later copied to the table MOM. Rest of the details are unimportant. All I want to know is how do I enter these words without getting the ORA-01756 error? Do I need to always correct them before entering or is there perhaps another way?

TestCase
DROP TABLE test ;
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER, cnt_str VARCHAR2(200));
INSERT INTO test (id, cnt_str) VALUES
(1,'AKRN000002,1451-1473,00000A,74,AKRN000002,1475-14791000000A,8010AKRN000002,1481-1492,00000A,9310AKRN000002,1494-1500')
[code]...
The requirement is in each of the string where there is comma after the number and the number is prefixed by "-" character,
the comma after the number should be replaced by '10'.
For example in the second record where ID = 2,
CNT_STR is '00000B,1-251000000D,26-32,ADTW000301,2858-2875'.
In this string -32, should become -3210 and resulting string should be '00000B,1-251000000D,26-3210ADTW000301,2858-2875'
Expected Result.
ID CNT_STR
-------- -------------------------------------
1 AKRN000002,1451-14731000000A,7410AKRN000002,1475-14791000000A,8010AKRN000002,1481-14921000000A,9310AKRN000002,1494-1500

For example i've a select query as below.
1.select store_name, store_id from stores
2.select store_name, (select store_id from inventory where store_id=<somevalue>) from stores
3. select store_name, store_id from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)
based on above examples i need to replace all the columns(oly the column names not the column names in the subquery) in a sql query .
is there is any oracle function to achieve this?
and the result shud be as follows if i replace with STORE_DET.
1.select STORE_DET from stores
2.select STORE_DET from stores
3. select STORE_DET from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)

I have a string. For example "I have too many files. There are 1000 files. I have to delete them." Sometimes the string can be "I have too many files. There are 115003 files. I have to delete them." Whatever the srting is, I need to change the string to "I have too many files. There are 10 files. I have to delete them." replace the "1000" or "115003" to "10". This portion of the string is always an integer. I use Oracle 11G2.

So many of the queries in our database query by an account but an account is allowed to vary by prefix and so queries are written similar to account like '%suffix'
Our DBA has rejected the use of context indexes and friends to deal with this.
as an aside and I'm probably going to regret going into this much detail but our model is
A->>B->>C
typically the queries want to fetch C's for a customer defined by A.account
A, B, C are all partitioned with partition key created_date
however, only C is typically queried with created_date as a qualifier. A and B are related by joins from A->>B and B->>C
when queries are written to use '%' leading wildcards often it results in a full table scan across multiple partitions. on any given day all we care about are the most recent C's for the customer where customer is defined by A.account.
I recently had an idea whereby fields such as A.Account could also be kept(denormalized) in the C table
the idea is if the queries were written to use C.account like '%bla' instead of A.account like '%bla' then because C is always qualified with the partition key ie. C.created_date that would at worst result in a full partition scan only. this is considerably less expensive than doing a full table scan of A. The IO cost of doing that is huge.
populating the C.account is a simple before insert or update trigger. when you insert a C you have a foreign key to a B and B has a foreign key to A. A and B are always created before any C is seen for any given C. When a C is seen A and B already exist in the database.

I tried:
SELECT regexp_replace('Red, White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Gold and many others, like Black and Silver',
',','|',1,5) from dual

where table_name like 'TEST%';
V_tbl varchar2(30);

I am using regexp_replace function to replace the string between the double quotes with the first occurance but i am able to replace first occurance but I am not getting remaining string.
For example:

I am about to pass 1Z0-051 and have been cramming. Ran across this scenario: Create or replace view. Correct answer: allows insert from view in multitable insert statement. Can I actually insert data from a view? My understanding is no data actually exists in a view. This has created a cavernous feeling of inadequacy.

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);

10 Hi Deepak, My designation id is dsha21. Thanks Rohit
Now I tried to replace the value for "Deepak","dsha21" and "Rohit" using nested replace function and I succeded but that was for static. Now while creating SQL procedure where I am going to make the values of "Deepak","dsha21" and "Rohit" some static variables. I want to pass the values to be replaced with static parameter.
If I give you simple example of my requirement that would be example of a sms send to all customers by a telephone company. Content is same only the Name of customer is replaced everytime.
