SQL & PL/SQL :: Get Comma Separated Values
Oct 19, 2012Create table a ( Objectid number, Value varchar2(2000);
/
Insert into a values (12, '2,3,4');
Insert into a values (13, '8,7,4');
Insert into a values (14, '3,8,9');
Insert into a values (15, '6,3,11');
I should get the output as:
ID Value

Comma Separated Values In Parameter?
Jul 2, 2008Here is what i have in ms-sql, how to convert this into t-sql ?
@MortgagePurposeID is parameter with comma seperated values ('1,2,3,4')
if(substring(@MortgagePurposeID, LEN(@MortgagePurposeID)-1,1)<>'','')
Set @MortgagePurposeID = @MortgagePurposeID + '',''
Set @pos=0

Parsing Comma-separated String?
Jan 22, 2009I have a string value like -- a,,b,c,d,e,f
Using just sql, I want to put each value of the above string in a different row. So the output should be --
a
b
c
d
e
f
using procedures it would not be that great but I want to do it just using queries.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Range And Comma Separated Queries
May 30, 2013I have a few questions about querying using ranges and comma separated lists. The basic situation is a request comes in with part numbers that can be formatted in a range, comma separated lists or both. For an example, the request contains the following part numbers:
<pnum> 1-10, 14, 17, 11, 21-24 </pnum>
I can muster a basic SQL statement to query for this by hand (more then one way to do this)-
SELECT *
FROM part_table
WHERE pnum BETWEEN '1' AND '10'
OR pnum BETWEEN '21' AND '24'
OR pnum IN (14, 17, 11);
is there a way to create the BETWEEN statement so that the dash doesnt need to be parsed out of the request? (like BETWEEN '1-10') or something that functions to that extent? Is it also possible to nest the BETWEEN statements (or the functionality of the BETWEEN) in the IN statement?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Comma Separated View Results
Jun 19, 2010We have a existing view which pulls list of orders against a deal. Straight forward result of the view is below.
Deal idSALES_ORDER_NUMBER
280760548460578
280760548789518
280760548794798
280760548794799
280760548873291
280760548887725
280760548900581
Each deal may have different number of orders.
We need to modify the view logic to result the list as comma seperated:
48460578,48789518,48794798,48794799,48873291,48887725,48900581
how to proceed.

PL/SQL :: Split Comma Separated String
Mar 11, 2013I 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

1rishi1rahul2ak2rishi1rahul2ak if i am using distinct then only desired output is coming. select distinct no,regexp_substr(err,'[^,]+', 1, level) from abcd connect by regexp_substr(err, '[^,]+', 1, level) is not null but i don't want to use distinct because my table has millions of rows and err contains comma separated varchar(6000);
SQL & PL/SQL :: Sort A Comma Separated String?
Aug 4, 2008I have a requirement to sort a comma seperated string. For example if I pass '1234,432,123,45322,56786' as string, then it should return '123,432,1234,45322,56786', after sorting the numbers inside the string.
I have done it creating Global Temporary table. Is there a way without creating the Temp table. I understand I can write the whole logic to sort and append the string, but if there is any direct way.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_TAB(COL1 VARCHAR2(100)) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION func_sort_string(pi_string IN VARCHAR2, pi_delimiter IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ',')
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
l_str VARCHAR2(2000) DEFAULT pi_string || ',';

Converting Comma Separated List To Table
Dec 7, 2011I have a comma separated list 'black','red','white' and I want to get each of words in this list in one rows. Some time ago I done it with:

where XXX was a function which converted list to table.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Enforce Comma Separated Column Values?
May 21, 2012I have a requirement wherein I need to enforce certain column to have only comma as a delimiter, where multiple values exists.
Example:
Create table:
create table test_oz ( slot number, server_name varchar2(50), used_by varchar2(50),
constraint test_oz_pk primary key (slot, server_name) );
Insert Test Data:
insert into test_oz values ( 1,'SRV1','SAMMY' );
insert into test_oz values ( 2,'SRV1','SAMMY,TOM' );
commit;
Data:
SQL> select * from test_oz;
SLOT SERVER_NAM USED_BY
---------- ---------- ----------
1 SRV1 SAMMY
2 SRV1 SAMMY,TOM
From above, the USED_BY column data need to be only comma separated. Is there a way to enforce that?
When user tries to insert data using any other delimiter, it should fail.
I was trying to see if a CHECK CONSTRAINT could be of use, but could not find it to work.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Multiple Search Terms Will Be Separated By A Comma
Dec 12, 2011I am building a search for use in one of our major applications. I have written a PL/SQL package that deals with it. I would like to present the requirement list to the group and see what, if anything, you may have done differently than I have.
1.) The search interface must have a single box, like google.
2.) Multiple search terms will be separated by a comma.
3.) The table has the following columns:
-- Name
-- Title
-- addr
-- addr2
-- city
-- state
-- zip
-- phone
-- email
4.) Number of Search Terms per query will be unlimited. (for now, as practicality dictates)
5.) Each search term will be checked against various columns.
6.) Search terms must not have a preference in order. Name, Address = Address, Name
7.) Records will be returned only for the rows where all search terms are found.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Function To Select Column Values Separated By Comma?
May 23, 2012I need to write a function which will take table name as input and should return all the columns separated by coma (,).
For example I have a table product as

100003Abacavir100003
100007Amlodipine100006
100001Cetirizine HCl Oral Solution100001
My function should return the output as
100006,Acetaminophen,100005
100013,Simvastatin,100007
100014,Ezetimibe,100008
100015,Simvastatin+Ezetimibe Oral Family,100009
100003,Abacavir,100003
100007,Amlodipine,100006

Performance Tuning :: Split Data Separated By Comma / Then Create Collection With Data Mapped From Other Columns
Sep 25, 2013DB Used : Oracle 10g.
A table X : NUM, INST are column names
NUM ----- INST
1234 ----- 23,22,21,78
2235 ----- 20,7,2,1
1298 ----- 23,22,21,65,98
9087 ----- 20,7,2,1
-- Based upon requirement :
1) Split values from "INST" Column : suppose 23
2) Find all values from "NUM" column for above splitted value i.e 23 ,
Eg:
For Inst : 23 ,
It's corresponding "NUM" values are : 1234,1298
3) Save these values into
A table Y : INST, NUM are column names.
INST NUM
23 1234,1298
1) I have a thousand records in Table X , and for all of those records i need to split and save data into Table Y.Hence, I need to do this task with best possible performance.
2) After this whenever a new data comes in Table X, above 'split & save' operation should automatically be called and append corresponding data wherever possible..

Sorting Strings As Integers
Jun 10, 2007The db field is a string-type field that hold strings such as:
'1234'
'753'
'textstring'
'345'
Obviously, if you sort it, it'll be stored as a string such as:
'1234'
'345'
'753'
'textstring'
My client wants it so the numbers sort as integers, followed by string-like strings (sorted alphabetically), so it's like.
'345'
'753'
'1234'
'textstring'
Is there a quick and dirty SQL-only way to doing this in Oracle?
Flow Of Statement Processing?
Apr 18, 2013SQL Statement Processing Steps:
1. Create a cursor.
2. Parse the statement.
parsing (syntax check, semantic check, privilege check, allocate private sql area, shared pool check (library cache check shared sql area. Here is hard or soft parse)SQL queries submitted to the system first run through the parser, which checks syntax and analyzes semantics. The result of this phase is called a parsed representation of the statement.
This parsed representation is then sent to the optimizer, which handles three main functionality:Transformation, estimation, and execution plan generation.
3. Describe query results.
4. Define query output.
5. Bind variables.
6. Parallelize the statement.
7. Execute the statement.
8. Fetch rows of a query.
9. Close the cursor.
- What stages from the above are included in the 'Query Optimizer Stage'
- Is the parse tree created after doing both syntax check and systematic check as I found notes where they mention it was done before symantic check
- What stages are skipped when doing soft parse vs hard parse
-when mentioned parsed representation, is that the same as parse tree.
I am just trying to understand more the flow of the query processing.
Trimming Strings - Comparing?
Jul 26, 2007I have 2 strings that I want to compare for example
string1 = 'ABC~AB/10/1234'
string2 = 'ABC~AB/10/1234~.....'
There could be anything after the 2nd ~ in string 2 is there a easy way of trimming string2 to the first 14 Characters? Or do I have to find the 2nd instance of ~ and then remove everything after (and including) that?
SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Extract Substring From A Set Of Strings
Jan 25, 2012Im trying to extract, *THIS IS MY STRING* from *<YUVRAJ THIS IS MY SRTING YUVRAJ>* .

SQL & PL/SQL :: Merge Vs Cursor Processing
Apr 2, 2010My requirement is ..
SQL> CREATE TABLE EMP (EMPID VARCHAR2(100), U_EMPID VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('DUMMY1','J0001');
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('DUMMY2','J1002');
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('DUMMY3','J1003');
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMP;
EMPID U_EMPID
------------------
DUMMY1 J0001
DUMMY2 J1002
DUMMY3 J1003
in this example empid is dummy empid (which will be issued for contractors), once the contractors are considered to be taken into payroll that u_empid will be updated by HR manually, we need to replace empid with u_empid. then data will become like this.
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMP;
EMPID U_EMPID
---------------------------
DUMMY1 J0001
DUMMY2 J1002
DUMMY3 J1003
J1001 NULL
J1002 NULL
J1003 NULL
now my requirement is there are approximately 60 child tables are there for EMP table, and EMPID is the foreign key for all of them with "on delete cascade" defined on those. Now first i need to create records in all the child tables with actual employee id's (which is u_empid). if the actual id is already exists then just need to update rest of the columns in that table except the EMPID.
Once the records are created with actual empid, then i will issue a delete command to remove dummy employee id's in emp table which will take care of deletion in child tables as well.
I was thinking of two options, one is go with Merge other is write a cursor and handle the update in exception block using when duplicate value on index feature.
PL/SQL :: Embedding Quotes In Strings?
Aug 16, 2013In the code segment below (hope it appears right) I can understand the use of single quotes in the first two examples but in the third example below I had to use double quotes around the word - Today's - and I not sure I understand why?! I'm aware of the rules ...If you want a single quote to appear in the middle of a string add another single quote to it.If you want a single quote to appear at the beginning or end of a string add 2 single quotes to it.If you want a single quote to appear on its own add 3 single quotes to it.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Comparing Strings Entered In A Form?
May 27, 2011 I have to compare a string entered in a form with a series of English strings in back-end PL/SQL( using LIKE operator )
But it so happens, the string entered in the form is specific to the language used in the country. for ex. in Dutch, it is entered in Dutch language.
So on comparing, it fails as the PL/SQL compares it with English Strings.
