SQL & PL/SQL :: REGEXP_INSTR Using OCCURANCE Parameter
Sep 19, 2012
I'm not able to understand OCCURANCE parameter for REGEXP_INSTR.As per my understanding it should see the occurance of given pattern in source string.Eg.
'[o][[:alpha:]]{3}'Above pattern matches character 'o' followed by any 3 alphabetic characters: case insensitive.
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('500 Oracle Pkwy, pneumococcal Shores, CA herohonda lionab', '[o][[:alpha:]]{3}', 1, 1,0,'i') RESULT
FROM DUAL ;
It is giving me 5 as result. Which is correct as search is started from first character of the source string and found first occurance "500 O".
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('500 Oracle Pkwy, pneumococcal Shores, CA herohonda lionab', '[o][[:alpha:]]{3}', 1, 2,0,'i') RESULT
FROM DUAL ;
It is giving me 23 as result. Which is correct as search is started from first character of the source string and found second occurance "500 Oracle Pkwy, pneumo"
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('500 Oracle Pkwy, pneumococcal Shores, CA herohonda lionab', '[o][[:alpha:]]{3}', 1, 3,0,'i') RESULT
FROM DUAL ;
It is giving me 33 as result although I'm expecting 25. Because the next occurance is "'500 Oracle Pkwy, pneumoco", and there are alteast 3 alphabets after it. understand "How OCCURANCE parameter works?".

I've got a task to star out account numbers in a free text field. The account numbers can be in a few different formats and there are a number of tables. The formats could increase or change as could the tables. For that purpose I want to use a couple of tables; one to store the formats and one to store the tablenames. The tablenames work fine, but I'm having problem with the formats.
The table definition for the formats is:-
CREATE TABLE account_format (acc_id number(2),acc_format VARCHAR2 (200), acc_replace VARCHAR2 (200),acc_process varchar2(1))
LOGGING
NOCOMPRESS
NOCACHE
NOPARALLEL
MONITORING;
and one insert would be
INSERT INTO account_format
VALUES (1,
'''[0-9]{5}[A-Z]{1}-[0-9]{5}''',
'''[0-9]{5}[A-Z]{1}-[0-9]{5}'',''****-****-****-****''',
'Y');
The idea is to bring back the format and use it in REGEXP_INSTR (or a similar REGEXP) to ascertain if the field contains the account number. The code I have been using looks a bit like this:-
CURSOR m_format_cur IS
SELECT acc.acc_format
FROM account_format acc;
m_format_rec m_format_cur%ROWTYPE;
IF REGEXP_INSTR (m_narrative, m_format_rec.acc_format) > 0 THEN
....
END IF;
I have tried several different ways to get this to work e.g. hardcoding the format and declaring a variable with the format, which both work. Whenever I try to use the value retrieved from the database field it never works. Why should a variable from a cursor not work?

Whey I try to run this query in TOAD I get an ORA-00920: invalid relational operator error. It's part of a 10g stored procedure. When I highlight it and run it it prompts me for the missing values and then the error pops up. The AND in line 4 is highlighted.
select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNTFrom vaps.vw_offenses where regexp_instr(valoc,to_char(location_id)) AND ( fromdate is null or offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy'))group by crime_classification_id, crime_type

From ETL tool i will be passing two parameters to a procedure. I want to know whether this parameter can be used in a select statement of a correlated query.
Query to be in the procedure :
begin
update table1 set table1.col1 = (select parameter2 from
table2 where table2.x = table1.x and table2.x = parameter1) ;
commit;
end;
parameter2 will be having the columnname to be passed. And everytime different columnname will be passed to this procedure.

I am writing a procedure in which I have a input string parameter in the following way..('NYC,ATL,OKC,KAC,LA'). I need to use that string to search values in the table.
Example
create or replace procedure search_city(p_string varchar2)
/*
paramater will be like ('NYC,ATL,OKC,KAC,LA')
*/
is
v_city varchar2(40)
begin
for i in (select city_name from cities
where city_code in (p_string )
) loop
v_city := i.city_name;
end loop;
end ;

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test_package IS
TYPE refcur IS REF CURSOR;
END test_package;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_info(o_cursor OUT test_package.refcur)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN o_cursor FOR
SELECT * FROM emp;
END get_info;
What is the advantage of using refcursor variable as OUT parameter in procedure. Instead of that why cannot we use variables or TYPE variables. use ref cursor as OUT parameter in procedure.

I need to test a parameter in a script that must adhere to what is currently in the database.For example, when a user enters the value when prompted from this script, ("Enter the schema copy desired: " ) the value must be of the current values in the db:, it would be something like this:
Values currently in DB: copyofschema201110 (the 2011 is the year, and 10 would be the month of oct).
copyofschema201109
copyofschema201108
So, if the user enters the value 'abc' (an incorrect value), then I would like the script to stop the user, and kick back a message, say from dbms_output.put_line, and force the user not to go forward, but re-enter a correct value.

I thought that you are not supposed to be able to assign the value of an out parameter to a variable (Feuerstein, 5th ed) and yet I was just
able to do this without any compilation error messages. Is Feuerstein wrong or am I missing something? Has the functionality changed?
PROCEDURE Parse_HC
(p_timestamp_string IN VARCHAR2,
p_timestamp_date OUT DATE)
AS
v_date DATE;

I have a scenario where I have to pass a paramter to "in statement". When I run the query from SQL plus its working fine.......but when I run the query at run time it doesnot come back with the results. I am sure its formating issue.
This is how I create a paramter
_sbInStatement.Append("(");
foreach (ListItem item in _listBox.Items)
{

oCmd.Parameters.Add(":InStatement", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = InStatement;

We are seeing volume issue when taking Rman level 0 backup for a database , the database version is 11.2.0.2 and its on RHEL 2.1. As 11g supports compression for RMAN, we have implemented so as to reduce the backup space used.
" CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'LOW' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE "
However during full backup the volume size increases, meaning we have to increase /data volume (currently 500G) to more then a 1T for just rman to go through, else the backup hangs. Once backup is done we again bring down the volume size to less then 1T. The other compression parameters are HIGH and MEDIUM, hoever I am not very sure if changing to high or low will work as I couldn't find any right doc in meta link or may be I didn't searched correctly, I will continue to look for that.

I have this in one of the packages WCL_LIB:
TYPE vc2_255_arr IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(4000) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
and i use it in one of the procedures as
PROCEDURE "WCL_EVENTS"
(p_event_id IN NUMBER,
p_event_arr IN Wcl_Lib.vc2_255_arr,
p_model IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_model_code IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
but the calling procedure doesnt have any array.... Can I declare something like in the procedure to be called
p_event_arr IN Wcl_Lib.vc2_255_arr DEFAULT NULL,
I tried, but doesnt seem to work? so how to call the procedure, which has a array as mandatory, but calling one doesnt have any?

I have the procedure with out parameter is ref cursor.
l_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_sql := 'select query with appending procedure IN aparameters';
OPEN rc_rpt FOR l_sql;
Here procedure IN parameter is a string with comma separated value which is appended in the dynamic query IN clause.So some time the size exceeded more then 32767 and getting error.If i am using normal parametrized cursor this issue is not there,but i want to return only ref cursor for some java purpose.My oracle version is 10g.

I have a procedure with 20 parameters, acutely it is to update a table and each param represents respective columns in a table. I want to update only few selected columns(random), as of now am passing Null as param values for remaining.
Is there any way to ignore the unnecessary parameters instead of passing NULL value.My Proc call looks like...
Exec MyProce(IN_ID, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL,NULL,'SOME_VALUE', NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,...);
Or
Exec MyProce(IN_ID, NULL, NULL, NULL,'SOME_VALUE' ,NULL,'SOME_VALUE', NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,...);

i have a SQL query . In the where clause of the query , there is function called dimension_intersect which takes 2 parameters.Now , when the 2 dimensions passed intersect , the function returns "Y" and the query works as expected
Function in where clause is as below
Dimension_intersect(Dimension1,select dimension2 from product where product_sys_id=1)='Y'
The above function works fine till only 1 record is returned by the inner subquery used in above function. But when "select dimension2 from product where product_sys_id=1" return 2 dimensions then the function fails as it can accept only one dimension at a time . I am not allowed to edit this function. I need to find a way to pass both the dimensions one at a time.
Query
-----
SELECT DISTINCT PROD_LONG_NAME,
P.PROD_ID_USER,
MRS.RESTRICTION_SEVERITY,
MRT.RESTRICTION_TYPE,
RESTRICTION_COMMENT RESTRICTION_DETAIL,
