SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Split Multi-delimited Field Into Several Rows And Add New Fields
Mar 7, 2013
I have a query that produces around 11 fields, and one of which is a multi-delimited field and the other 10 are dimension fields. I would like to split that field into several rows, and have the other 10 fields just repeated for each one. Here is an example of the data in the 11th field :
Column 11
34^56^78,59
There are two delimiters in the field, a carat and a comma. This field is used to reference document numbers that are needed to be sent in. The carat represents the word "Or" and the comma represents the word "And". I would like to have the output of each field to be a repeat of the 10 dimension fields, plus 3 new fields. The first new field would be the document number, the second new field would be the position within the original delimited field(1, 2, 3, etc.) , and the last field would be one of three logic words :First (if it is the first value), Or (if the value followed a carat), And (If the value followed a comma). Example of the output from the above value would be :
Column 11 Column 12 Column 13
34_______ 1_______ First
56_______ 2_______ Or
78_______ 3_______ Or
59_______ 4_______ And
Any thoughts on this? I have found a few solutions online on how to break up the delimited field into rows, but never with multiple delimiters or with extra logic for the added fields.
I want to output the data like this: FILE_IDKEYWORD1SMITH1ALLEN1WARD1BRADY2S&P5002TOPIXetc
I'm using this query and it works: SELECT STG.FILE_ID, REGEXP_SUBSTR(STG.KEYWORD,'[^;]+', 1, LEVEL) AS KEYWORD FROM STG_TABLE STGCONNECT BY REGEXP_SUBSTR(STG.KEYWORD,'[^;]+', 1, LEVEL) IS NOT NULL
But its sooooo slow, its unusable. Is there a quicker way to return this output? Other info:KEYWORD is varchar2(4000) but rarely more than 100 bytes are usedOracle 11g2 !
I Want to make a query to select finished goods product in sales having product code greater than 280 but i have face a problem that order by is not working because products column have character code as well as number. how to sort that column.
using SQLLDR: Looking for a control file solution to move past or bypass extra data fields which are not on destination table. Basically if you have 8 tab delimited fields(terminated by ' ') on a data record; but only need to load 5 of the values from the delimited record; is there a way to ignore/bypass the not needed data. Obviously, the answer would be to massage the data at the OS and removed the 3 unnecessary fields.
However my hands are tied by volume,time, and compliancy. I am familiar with using 'FILLER' for the reverse scenario; but not where you have more data available on the record then exists on the table.
select 1 as id, 'role1,role2,role3' as roles from dual union all select 2 as id, 'role1' as roles from dual
to
select 1 as id, 'role1' as roles from dual union all select 1 as id, 'role2' as roles from dual union all select 1 as id, 'role3' as roles from dual union all select 2 as id, 'role1' as roles from dual
?
I would prefer sql then plsql. Script for creating a test table:
create table CONVERT_LIST(id integer, roles varchar2(100)); insert into CONVERT_LIST values(1,'role1,role2,role3'); insert into CONVERT_LIST values(2,'role1');
In employees table I am having employee_name column data as follows
Aaron, Mrs. Jamie (Jamie)Aaron, Mrs. Jenette (Jenette)Abbott, Ms. Rachel (Rachel) Breton, Mr. Jean Britz, Mrs. Sarie (Sarie) --> Now, I want to display the employee name like "Mrs. Jamie" (with out Surname and with out bracket included text),-->
Consider below is a multi record block rows, i want to hide "23". Is it possible using Set_Item_Instance_Property or any other built-in is there in oracle forms to hide a single row field in a multi record block.
I am having a problem with auto populating different fields based on inventory no. field.. This is a bug giving to me to work on and i not able to figure out how to populate the other fields.
How to set any triggers for the items to auto populate and i am suppose to finish this work today.
I need to delete all the registers where the table 1 does join with table 2 in 3 fields... for example:
delete taba1 t1 where t1.campo1 in ( select distinct(tr.campo1) from tabla1 tr, tabla2 t2 where t2.error = 0 tr.campo1 = t2.campo1 and tr.campo2 = t2.campo2
i have multi data block filed. and checkbox field which based on control block...My task is when i check checkbox only one field should enabled and my mouse goes to that field
My item field based on data block and checkbox based on control block,while i checked chkbox1 , only item31 on that current record should be enabled and i changed value only on that field
when i checked chkbox1 , my cursor goes to item31...not item32
I want to create a SELECT, that shall give back only a special amount of rows, depending on the sum of one of the selected fields.
At first a code sample of the complete selection:
SELECT DISTINCT mnr, ktxt, (SELECT Sum(meng_4)FROM reldb d1 WHERE d1.mnr=d.mnr)qty FROM reldb d WHERE mnr IN (SELECT mnr FROM relac WHERE Lower(rlnr) NOT LIKE 'platte geprägt%') AND saext='M' ORDER BY qty DESC,ktxt;
This selection produces some lines of output (in my case i.e. like 300). What I want to see is only that much lines that the condition 'sum of all items listed below meng_4<=sum of all items meng_4 of the whole selection * 0.9' is fulfilled.
So, if the whole selection produces a total of 10000 as sum for all items meng_4, I want to see only that amount of rows that sums a total of at least 9000 for all items meng_4. I hope, this specification is exactly enough to understand my intent.
How can I compare two rows from the same table and show the field and the difference?
Example:
select ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, deptno from EMP t where t.empno = 7782 or t.empno = 7788
ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL DEPTNO 1 CLARK MANAGER 7839 6/9/1981 2450.00 10 2 SCOTT ANALYST 7566 6/9/1981 3000.00 20
My report comparing fields should be:
FIELD BASE COMPARE DIFFERENCE ENAME CLARK SCOTT -- JOB MANAGER ANALYST -- MGR 7839 7566 -- SAL 2450 3000 550 --(Show difference only for numbers) DEPTNO 10 20 --
I know how to select the last N sets of rows, using DENSE_RANK - where multiple rows have the same timestamp but I want to only select those rows which do NOT have the top 2 unique timestamps.
i.e.:
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY myTimestamp DESC) DENSE_RANK, HISTORYID, USER_ID, myTimestamp, STATUS, FROM TXN_HIST) WHERE DENSE_RANK > 2 order by myTimestamp DESC, HISTORYID, USER_ID;
I try to find out how export data from table to Excel file format and save the result to BLOB field in some other table.I know how to download report from Page by submit, but I need to process data and instead of returning result to user as Excel file - save it in BLOB.
Also I found implementation on JAVA for the issue but actually I wanna study out - Is it possible to resolve this issue by PL/SQL and APEX API methods?
I need to update a column with tab delimited ie that column value should be tab delimited. Eg:- Url_name is the column and column values =[URL]. THe space between [URL] should be tab delimited. I wanted to use a update query to update this values with tab delimited.
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?
A big table of size more than 4 GB from 10g DB needed to be extracted/exported into a text file,the column delimiter is "&|" and row delimiter is "$#".I cannot do it from TOAD as it is hanging while extraction of big table.
I am trying to Spool the data in pipe delimitted csv file but some of the records going on another line from the same records. Currently some of the data going to next line as below oulined in the 2nd and 3rd line (in bold - |Home & Family) . I have following sql setting in my spool file:
set linesize 4000 pagesize 0 trimspool on feedback off verify off echo off set define off spool Stk_hold_Sec_Tsk.csv
I tried increase linesize to 5000 but its not working. Ex.
PSS:Production Manager|ZS:PsS:PP:PROD_TCODES|P2S: PP - Production Transactions|House & street PSS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_MGR|BW PsS Reports Manager [b]|House & street[/b]
PsS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_USER|BW PsS Reports User [b]|House & street[/b]
PsS:Master Data (PDMs)|ZS:GEN:GENERAL_USER|GEN: General User|House & street
Data should be like into the file:
PSS:Production Manager|ZS:PsS:PP:PROD_TCODES|P2S: PP - Production Transactions|House & street PSS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_MGR|BW PsS Reports Manager|House & street PsS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_USER|BW PsS Reports User|House & street PsS:Master Data (PDMs)|ZS:GEN:GENERAL_USER|GEN: General User|House & street
I think it should be something with linesize or pagesize but not sure
