How to write a pl/sql query to trim/remove more than one character from string.
Like the itemfield is 'Profit CY' I want it to show as 'Profit' but only for itemfields that say 'Profit CY' in the column for remaining items in column such as 'Loss CY' should stay as it is.
Is there any possibilites to remove the symbol '*' only from LEFT or RIGHT side, instead BOTH the side.
select '>' || trim (both '*' from '***removing stars at both sides***') || '<' "Stars removed" from dual;
I create a text file with cobol, and now I need to remove the last character of each line with pl / sql. For example:
12 *
23 *
45 *
I need to remove *
I ran into the following issue as mention below.
select dump(column_name) from table where column_name2 = 'HP1';
dump(column_name)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typ=1 Len=5: 194,160,82,88,66
I am trying to get right of these hidden character 194 and 160. i tried different method as mention below,
1) translate(column_name, chr(194)|| chr(16),'')
I have been trying to attach a .dat file generated at an external source and send it as an attachment by mail using UTL_SMTP, all things are working but the .dat file which comes attached in mail contains a newline character i.e. chr(10) at the start line and the contents of the file are written from second line onwards. Below is some part of the code which deals with read/write of attachment of mail to be sent.
UTL_SMTP.write_data(c,
'Subject' || ': ' || P_SUBJECT || UTL_TCP.crlf);
UTL_SMTP.write_data(c,
'MIME-Version: 1.0' || UTL_TCP.crlf || -- Use MIME mail standard
'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;' || UTL_TCP.crlf ||
[code]....
My database is in UTF8 character set..
And it is not supporting chr(194)||chr(160)
what character set you were using then ?
And.. is there a way to handle non breaking spaces in UTF8..
how do we know database character set is either single character set or multi character set?
While changing character-set from AL32UTF8 to WE8MSWIN1252 got "ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set".
Below are steps taken to resolve the issue -
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252;
i got this error: ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
below are the commands executed by me:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> CONNECT SYS/password AS SYSDBA;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE WE8MSWIN1252;
SQL> SHUTDOWN;
SQL> STARTUP;
SQL> QUIT;
And its working...
I have not done it in proper order. Neither have done ccsscan. Still, no user reported any issues. Do my changes truncated the data?

Whenever i write into this textfile, after the first row entered, for example, the first row string is 'H2001', then it will automatically spacing 7995 spaces. What I want is, when i enter the second row, it will auto write into the file in next row without all the spaces in row 1. I had been tried using trim, rpad, substr. and still don't get the thing that i want.

This sql is check a date field in the database for record which, if the date field is blank it should be a new record. Then the sql will assigned the current timestamp and stored to the new record. Otherwise, the sql will return the record timestamp for display.

I have created a function based index(FBI) with trim(header_date), but when i query the table by passing the hardcoded date, it is not working and i have to manually apply trim to get the result?
my query after applying FBI is
select * from abc where header_date = '21-JUN-11', no results are returned and when i apply trim to header_date it works fine .
My control file is :
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE IPGITLREDATA WHEN ITL_REC_TYPE = 'D'

The data file might have a value of " D " instead of "D" for ITL_REC_TYPE and ITL_REC_TYPE is in the WHEN clause. How can I check for the trimmed value of ITL_REC_TYPE in the WHEN clause ?
Can i use a trim(col_name) to check a NULL value in a table? as IS NULL function is taking a long time.

We have Oracle 10g and user trying to Insert following in one of our table field and getting error:
'REVOLUCIÃ"N Historical Corruptions Agenda'
Getting follwoing error:
ORA-00911: invalid character

Company_Name Varchar2 (40)

I'm trying to insert a character from the extended ascii character set. Specifically, there's a company that has an accented e (�) in the name. Right now, the company name doesn't have the e at all, accent or no accent. So I'm trying to do an update, something like
update table1 set company_name='blah�" where company='blah'
It runs, but doesn't do the update. Even when I try to forcefully do an insert (instead of an update) I get nowhere; the accented is simply dropped. So the basic question is, how do you insert extended ascii characters into oracle?
I have one string 'SWAP_20120224_MEGAMART_MAR_Sales.csv'

I am using C++ OCI LIB, to insert some report data from remote OCI client to oracle 11 server. This data is read by another process to create the report.The DB CHARSET is UTF-8. But the report tool expects the data to be ISO08859-1 encoded. So while inserting the data into the database i specify the following LANG and CHARSET for my table colulmn in client:
The TARGET DB CHARSET is UTF-8
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
size_t csid = 871; // UTF-8
OCIAtrSet((void *) bnd1p, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
*(void *)&csid*,
(ub4) 0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID, errhp);
This solution works for almost every case of ASCII and Extended ASCII Charest but we are facing issues if we have few specific characters to be inserted.f we are trying to insert single beta character [β] through client, the data goes empty to the column.
Beta Character details:
DEC OCT HEX BIN Symbol Description
223 337 DF 11011111 ß Latin small letter sharp s - ess-zed
DB Output after insert single β:
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)
---------------------------
But if the string is *"ββ"* everything work fine:
DB Output for "ββ":
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)

I have table of 60 gb(indexes 60gb ) and it is subject to fragmentation around 10gb .
I m going to remove fragmentation . As i know i have three options
1.expdp/impdp .
2.CTAS (create table ........as.......) with parallel option .
3.Moving table into another tablespace with parallel option .
I have 4 physical and 4 logical cores(total 8 cores) on server .
I receive source data with leading zeros. The Rules says: "If there is a leading 0 it has to be removed and data has to be shown starting with character 2".Here is my code I started with:
CREATE TABLE leading_0_test
(
col_1 VARCHAR2(10)
)
insert into leading_0_test values('00123')
select trim(leading'0' from COL_1),trim(leading'0' from substr(COL_1,1,1)),COL_1 from leading_0_test
The first trim removes all leading zeros. Therefore I tried to solve it with the substr, but without success.
