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.

Oracle Version: 11gR2: 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
OS: Linux Fedora Core 17 X86_64
Currently, I'm reading the online book Oracle Concepts, Chapter 3: 3 Indexes and Index-Organized Tables, section: Reverse Key Indexes in order to understand this topic.
As I understand for each pair of (key, rowid) in the index structure, the rowid for each row in the table obviously remains the same but the bytes of the key are reversed before the key is stored. So for example on a 32 bit machine (just an example) a key = 10 AB CD EF will be stored as FE DC BA 01 , am I right?
According to the documentation, this becomes interesting in RAC environments in order to remove a hot spot from the index (when multiple instances repeatedly modify the same block) with the disadvantage that in some cases there cannot be Index Range Scan any more as data in the index is not sorted by column key when it is stored.
I was just curious to see how bytes of each key are reversed and after a bit googling I found an article where Tom Kyte shows with an example by using dump function (which as I understand gives the internal representation of a given expression) the difference in the sequence of bytes. Here is the link
[URL]
So based on his instructions I tried to do my own test, yet I don't get the same result, that is, the bytes are not reversed for me once we rebuild the index by REVERSE key word.
I'm going to write down here the test that I did, where is/are my error(s)
Test Case:
(I use a copy of the employees table in hr sample schema)
SQL> CREATE TABLE emp_test AS SELECT * FROM hr.employees;
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX emp_test_idx ON emp_test(first_name);
[code]...
Now, a test SQL Query using the index we've just defined (just for giving an example)
SQL> SELECT first_name,
2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result
3 FROM emp_test
4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
FIRST_NAME DUMP_RESULT
-------------- ----------------------------------
Kelly Typ=1 Len=5: 4b,65,6c,6c,79
[code]...
So, according to the above Execution plan, Oracle does an Index Range Scan using the index that I defined on my table that is, emp_test_idx. According to the output of dump, the key (first_name) in that index is stored (in terms of bytes) as 4b,65,6c,6c,79
SQL> SELECT chr(to_number('4b', 'xx')) ||
2 chr(to_number('65', 'xx')) ||
3 chr(to_number('6c', 'xx')) ||
4 chr(to_number('6c', 'xx')) ||
5 chr(to_number('79', 'xx')) first_name
6 FROM DUAL;
FIRST_NAME
--------------------
Kelly
Which as we can see corresponds to the first name 'Kelly', the first name we specified in the above SQL query.
Now let's rebuild the index
SQL> ALTER INDEX emp_test_idx REBUILD REVERSE;
Index altered.
SQL>
Once the index keys have been reversed, I run the very same query in order to see the difference
SQL> SELECT first_name,
2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result
3 FROM emp_test
4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
[code]...
So the second time after the index has been reversed, I still get the very same sequence of bytes, that is, 4b,65,6c,6c,79, whereas I expected to get 79,6c,6c,65,4b (that is, the reversed order of the initial bytes sequence)

I need to create a function where in data from 5 rows is clubbed into one row. Like this I have around 425 rows which should be clubbed to 85 rows. Requirement is similar to pivot but not exactly like a pivot as different columns need to be taken from those 5 rows. This is for reporting purpose in order to get data in the desired report format.
SQL mentioned below works fine. It does return data.When below code is used as a normal procedure with OUT parameter as Index by table of Record type code works fine. It returns data. Functionality is met. But when used as a pipeline function, it returns no data.
Below code gets compiled but returns nothing. I didn't find anything on Google or any website for same.
CREATE TYPE r_report_mth_rec_obj AS OBJECT (
acct_num VARCHAR2 (20),
acct_name VARCHAR2 (80),
fund_group VARCHAR2 (80),
fund_type VARCHAR2 (80),
share_class_code VARCHAR2 (10),
share_class_description VARCHAR2 (20),
curr_code VARCHAR2 (10),

I have employees under a supervisor defines as below:
select LOGIN_USER_ID from APPWMS.VIEW_EMP_LATEST_INFO where SPVSR_LOGIN_USER_ID='erbrand' and EMP_STAT_CODE='ACTIVE'
Now I need to determine if all above employees are clocked in , clocked out or not clocked between yesterday and today using following:
select to_char(CLOCK_IN_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ) ClockIn,to_char(CLOCK_OUT_DATE,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ) ClockOut ,LOGIN_USER_ID,--CLOCK_IN_DATE,CLOCK_OUT_DATE, CLOCK_OUT_DATE-CLOCK_IN_DATE,trunc(sysdate) , trunc(sysdate-1),
case when CLOCK_OUT_DATE is null then
'Not clocked out'
else
[code]....
The first SQL gives me 66 rows while second gives me 40 rows. For 26 people , no rows are returned which means these people donot have a clock in record between two timestamps.
How can we modify query to show those 26 people as 'Not clocked In'

CGJ 0000617
CG 0001442
CGJ 0001444
CMOV 0000200

I am importing some data from Oracle into another database on a regular basis. It works fine for most of the queries but couple of queries don't work sometimes (random). I don't get any errors or any data.
We switched on the Oracle auditing to find out the queries being sent to oracle db. We can see all the queries in the Audit log. Is it possible to configure Auditing to get the "Number of Rows" returned by Select statements so that we can be sure that some data was returned.

I am using Oracle Version 11.2. Here's an example of what I am trying to do..
-- create table with a clob column
create table sr_test
(c1 CLOB)
-- load data that is more than 4000 characters into clob
declare
var1 varchar2(32000);
begin
var1:= '';
for i in 1..5000 loop
var1:= var1||i||',';
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(var1);
insert into sr_test(c1) values (var1);
end;
-- select table to make sure clob is loaded
select c1, dbms_lob.getlength(c1) from sr_test
-- create procedure to return data from table
create procedure sr_p1(result out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open result for
select c1 from sr_test;
end;
-- run the procedure to get data
DECLARE
RESULT sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
RESULT := NULL;
ACCOUNTING.SR_P1 ( RESULT );
:rc0_RESULT := RESULT;
END;
Everything works as intended. However, this procedure is being called from Webservices. According to what I have been told, webservices adds 18ms for each clob that needs to be converted into char so it can be displayed on the screen. So, I need something like this
create procedure sr_p1(result out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open result for
select dbms_lob.substr(c1,32000,1) from sr_test;
end;
Is there an alternate method to send more than 4000 characters in the refcursor?

I have an Oracle 10g database, on the App Serv I have an image file that has 20,000 .jpg files that has an id number as each image name.I have successfully queryed the image file and posted one image to my web page matching the image id number.
sample:
select substr(spriden_last_name,1,20)||', '||
substr(spriden_first_name,1,20)||' '||
substr(spriden_mi,1,1) stname,
'<img src = "/images/&1..JPG" width="400" height="400"/>' pic
from spriden
where spriden_id = '&1'
/
the &1 is the matching id number that is input from the user.My task now is to select multiple images using a department field in the spriden table to pull the needed id numbers.I have not been successful in the proper format to pass the id number to the <img src field.

I am using an Oracle view and package to extract data from my DB to build an XML file on the fly.
My problem is that on very rare occasions, an invalid XML character will be in the database. This, of course, causes my XML file to error.
My question is: What are the possible ways to remove invalid XML characters when selecting out of a DB field? Any function that has been written for this type of thing, or is a VERY long 'translate' more of what I should be doing?

There is a column called Keyword which has values like below:

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 !
