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!

how to count different characters from a string ....
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a SQL query which checks for special character(s) in a string and remove them if any.
for e.g: input string : 'ABCD $ & * # 123 Test'
expected output should be in upper case : 'ABCD123TEST'
we do not know the position of special characters and also what kind of special characters will come as input.
Is there any function to count number of specific character inside string. For example :
my string is 'ABCEF AYZA'
I want to calculate how many 'A' exist in my string. result should be = 3
I have a following table,
create table test1(col1 varchar2(20));
insert into test1 values('4711-3/01');
I believe we need to use Translate function to get rid of special characters, But I would not be knowing what sort of special charecters which appear in the string, In that case how do I use Translate?
I have a table like mentioned below
create table test1( test_no number, test_description varchar2(100));
insert into test1 values (1,'ABC£¥');
insert into test1 values (2,'BCD£¥');
Now I am selecting from the above table and the expected rest it should have shown is as shown below
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABC£¥
2 BCD£¥
But instead of showing the extended ascii characters, it is showing some different characters as shown below
select * from test1;
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABCLY
2 BCDLY
I have an requirement where i need to fetch the exact ascii characters for £ and ¥ instead of L and Y respectively.
I am on 11g.
I need to remove the alpha characters from a string, leaving only numbers, but I am getting unexpected results:
SQL> SELECT TRANSLATE('3N', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', NULL) a FROM DUAL;
A
-
I thought this would leave the 3 from the 3N, but it is returning an empty string. For my application, the string '3N' could be any length, will only contain letters and numbers, and the letters will always come at the end, but there could be more than one letter
VALID INPUT samples:
4
25
11F
361NG
8ABC
I have some strings like
'Net Amount Payable by an Individual',
'Net Amount Payable by an Individual+Tax',
'Total Amount Payable towards Service',
'Total Amount Payable towards Service.+Tax'
I need to extract the first three letters from each word and separate them using an underscore. The output should be as follows for the above strings -
Net_Amo_Pay_by_an_Ind
Net_Amo_Pay_by_an_Ind_Tax
Tot_Amo_Pay_tow_Ser
Tot_Amo_Pay_tow_Ser_Tax
I request to let me know the way to get the ouput as mentioned.
Do you have any solution for using function UPPER() for a column as long data type.
I got error when using it;
SELECT
tst.LONG_DESC
FROM
Test tst
WHERE
and upper(tst.LONG_DESC) like '%%'
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG

Is there any sql select query to check and find for special and non printable characters in a table column.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following procedure body in a package.
PROCEDURE getrecordsForinspection(i_table_name in varchar2, i_thread_id in varchar2, i_max_count in number default null, o_results out sys_refcursor)

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE(v_sql);
commit;
end;
when I execute the above procedure it gives the following error.
ORA-00911: invalid character
cause: Identifiers may not start with any ASCII characters other than letters and numbers.$#_ are also allowed after the first character. Identifiers enclosed by double quotes may contain any character other than a double quote. Alternative quotes(q'#....#') can not use spaces, tabs, or carriage returns as delimiters. For all other contexts, consult the SQL language reference Manual.
I think dynamic sql is not executed because of the pipe character in the sql statement.
I want to execute a DML query with execute immediate statement. That DML query length exceeds 4000 characters. This query has Xquery related conditions, i can not split the query. when i tried execute it is giving "string literal too long". I tried with DBMS_SQL.Parse() and DBMS_SQL.Execute also, but it is giving same error. I have to execute this DML query inside a Procedure. We are using oracle 10g version

It gives me an error on the line where the execute immediate statement is.
Quote:
ORA-00905
missing keyword
Cause: A required keyword is missing.
Action: Correct the syntax.
But when I check my stack trace table to see what the actual query string looks like, I see this
Quote:
SELECT sedol INTO l_attributed_sedol_code FROM integration.tmp_attributed_sedol WHERE CLIENT_LEDGER_REF='LEAE057090' AND ROWNUM=1
There's nothing wrong with that, is there? It executes fine if I try it manually.
I have a dynamic query which has this clause in it: WHERE [COLUMN NAME] IN (' || theString || ')
My problem is that theString is being passed in through a C# call and the variable is a bunch of strings concatenated together and separated by a comma. Ex: theString = "'val1','val2'"
How many quotes are supposed to go around val1 and val2?
I've tried the following and none work:
'val1','val2'
''val1','val2''
''val1'',''val2''
'''val1'',''val2'''
''''val1'',''val2''''
When I run the procedure in Oracle it works with '''val1'',''val2'''
Select * from XXX where xxx.a in �123,456�-----> this values comes dynamic to my query.
Here xxx.a will contain values like 123 or 456 like that .
i try to insert Concatenation string to my table,i need that all traps that has 12 length will be insert the new trapnum like this:
for example: 26001005CC45 = 260001005CC0045 ....... 08060027RF05 = 080600027RF0005 ......... and so....
update trap set TrapNum = (
select trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,1,4),'0000'))||
trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,5,1),'00'))||
trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,6,3),'000'))||
substr(TrapNum,9,2)||
trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,11,2),'0000')) from Trap)
where length(Trapnum)=12
but i got error ORA-01427
I am using this query to split numeric values i.e ('1,2,3,4,5,6')but when i am trying with char value i.e ('a,b,c,d'), its not working.
select id
FROM employee e
WHERE e.id IN
( SELECT TO_NUMBER(xt.column_value)
FROM XMLTABLE('1,2,3,4,5,6') xt );
I want to convert a column value to a delimited string using a query.
Example
TableA
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 x200 MIS-X
2 x200 BTS-X
3 x200 TYR-X
4 x100 YRY-X
Select Col3 From TableA where Col2 = 'x200'
Expected Output:
'MIS-X','BTS-X','TYR-X'
How can we get 'space in every character of a string with Single select query'
for example:-
string 'INDIA'
result should be 'I N D I A'
Having following table:
UserID REC_TYP REC_CD
12345 'OFFR' 12
23456 'MSG' 13
I'd like to construct the query which in this particular case would return the REC_CD as 'Record_ID' for REC_TYP='OFFR' where USERID=? (always fetched by the application) and if such USER_ID doesn't exists (for the particular REC_TYP of course) to return string or any other value. e.g. The result for this query in case of user_id 23456 = would be "doesn't exist" or sth for instance 'FALSE' and for 123456 it would be '12'
