I have a function that will replace the contents of the input parameter and replace any non-numeric characters.� I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to code this (oracle 8i or higher).
function strip_non_numeric(p_string in varchar2) return varchar2 is
Result varchar2(100) := '' ;
x_length number;
begin
SELECT LENGTH(p_string) INTO X_LENGTH FROM DUAL;
FOR i in 1..X_LENGTH LOOP

In my table ,data type of one among 10 columns is defined as varchar2(10).I need to check that column should accept only numeric value(0 to 99) or alphabetic value(a to z or A to Z) .It should not accept Alpha-numeric values.I tried like this
select c3 from demotab where to_number(c3) not between ascii('a') and ascii('z') ;
but I got error like 'Invalid Number'.how to implement this thro sql query.
We have document serial Nos increment program, which has the below query for selecting and Updating, which generates a Numeric Value;
Select Query:
Select doc_slno
from fin_jv_slno_mas
where jv_month = '05' and
jv_year = '2012'
Output of this Query: 800001
Update Query:
update fin_jv_slno_mas set doc_slno=docno+1 where
jv_year = '2012' and
jv_month = '05'
Output after Updation: 800002.
The above query is a normal Sequence updating for a Numeric Value; now we need to update it as Alpha Numeric as below
Example: 8A0001
How can we give the above update statement for Alpha Numeric updation?
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:

I have set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to ',.' but somehow during my java application life-cycle it got changed to '.,'! Is there any way to find what causes this? I can't find what or who change it. I have ordinary Java app which connects to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 DB and as far as I know NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS is not set explicitly or any other NLS_XXX setting. Is there any way to look in some logs for this?

i am working on the oracle 10g.currently i want to build one procedure,where i get a variable which contain character as well as number.my aim in the procedure is to replace all the character like ( a,b..z) in this variable with the number field.
example
suppose i have one variable say
var := 'MALT011000012345MTLCAST001SMT84'
now i want to replace each character say
A with value 23
B with value 56
L with value 99
9 i will get these value form another table).
i will have handle thousands of variable and they can start with any character and they contain character anywhere.

I have an sqlldr process running loading data into my database. I have created a trigger to run before inserts on each row to start gathering summary data from the basic underlying data. The trigger compiles ok and the procedures the trigger is calling compile ok, but when the sqlldr process runs I get errors in the log files.
Here is the sqlldr control file:
LOAD data
APPEND INTO TABLE cdr.day_tables
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
RecordCode
,CdrStart DATE 'YYYY DDD SSSSS'
[code].......,
Next is my trigger
create or replace TRIGGER BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS
BEFORE INSERT ON DAY_TABLES
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
[code]......
Next are the procedures that are called by the trigger:
create or replace PROCEDURE BNUMBER_SUMMARY
( BNUMBER IN VARCHAR2
, CALLDATE IN DATE
, CALLDURATION IN NUMBER
) AS
record_found NUMBER;
BEGIN
[code].......
The error messages I am getting are:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table CDR.DAY_TABLES, column CDREND.

ORA-06512: at "CDR.BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS", line 6
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'CDR.BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS'
I need to find out what field it is complaining about, especially since I am not even using the cdrend field from the input record?
select ORDER_NUMBER from OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL
WHERE ordered_date=to_char(to_date(substr(ORDERED_DATE,1,10),'YYYY/MM/DD'),'DD-MON-YYYY');

I get the error message mentioned in the subject with this SELECT-statement
....where (t.cfonte=14 and t.data_ultima_modifica between sysdate -4000/(24*60*60) and sysdate ) or (t.data_ultima_modifica > to_date('%TIMESTAMP%','ddmmyyhh24miss'))]]>
If I substitute %TIMESTAMP% with 310507143709 then it works
We are getting an error : a non numeric was found where a numeric was expected sometimes when this statement is executed:
INSERT INTO training select * from temp_training where class_id='xyz';
all columns and their datatypes are the same in both the tables
however if i replace the * with the column names as shown below it seems to work fine without giving an error
insert into training (a,b,c) select a,b,c from temp_training where class_id='xyz'
wanted to understand the subtle difference between the 2 statements
create table test
(
name varchar2(50),
descd varchar2(50)

insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr');
insert into test values ('jennybrown','fsa!!trtw$ fda');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr ,try');
how do I get the first three characters and last three characters from name field and remove all the junk characters from descd field?
so my o/p be like;
Quote:('ketlin','dadadtyerx')
('tauson','dfegr')
('jenown','fsatrtw fda')
('tauson','dfegr try')

I currently have a table with a VARCHAR column which is used to store notes. Currently the notes read something like 'Verified 01/01/2012'. I am trying to convert it to a date column so I can run reports using the date (select between dates etc).
I have tried with the substr function but since the records are all different doesn't really work. (plus that doesn't make it a date so not sure it would work for searching).
how to proceed?
I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.06 on a Linux server running Oracle 11g R2 and have the following problem:
I have a page with two forms for creation of new rows in either the sites table or the site-projects table. Site-projects is defined as follows with four numbers and two character fields:
Site_id number(10,0) PK1
Cruise_id number(10,0) PK2
Sequence_number number(10,0) PK3
Project_id number(10,0)
Assigned_flag varchar2(1) default �N�
Planned-site_flag varchar2(1) default �N�
The entry form uses select lists for many of the fields, but it is the assigned_flag that seems to be causing problems. It�s LOV definition is static2:UNASSIGNED;N,ASSIGNED;Y
When I tap the create button, I get :
ORA-20507: Invalid numeric value N for column ASSIGNED_FLAG Error Unable to process row of table SITES.
This suggests that something is going on at the sites table even though I use the create button associated with the site-projects table. Am I invoking the row processing for the sites table as well? Why does it run into invalid number when the field is varchar2? Actually, I get the exact same error if I use the create button on the sites portion of the page.
The site table has the following columns:
Site_id number(10,0) PK1
Parent_site_id number(10,0) nullable
Stratum_id number(10,0)
Area_id number(10,0)
Site_type_id number(10,0)
Name varchar2(50)

I have a table MOM i.e. Minutes of meeting where important points in a meeting are captured. Now these points may include words like, "don't" or "can't" which will be recorded first in a text file and later copied to the table MOM. Rest of the details are unimportant. All I want to know is how do I enter these words without getting the ORA-01756 error? Do I need to always correct them before entering or is there perhaps another way?

[code]...
The requirement is in each of the string where there is comma after the number and the number is prefixed by "-" character,
the comma after the number should be replaced by '10'.
For example in the second record where ID = 2,
CNT_STR is '00000B,1-251000000D,26-32,ADTW000301,2858-2875'.
In this string -32, should become -3210 and resulting string should be '00000B,1-251000000D,26-3210ADTW000301,2858-2875'
Expected Result.

2.select store_name, (select store_id from inventory where store_id=<somevalue>) from stores
3. select store_name, store_id from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)
based on above examples i need to replace all the columns(oly the column names not the column names in the subquery) in a sql query .
is there is any oracle function to achieve this?
and the result shud be as follows if i replace with STORE_DET.
1.select STORE_DET from stores
2.select STORE_DET from stores
3. select STORE_DET from stores
where store_id in(select store_id from stores1)
creating package and i need not to use execute immediate. There are some dynamic build plsql's and sql's stored in global lists. Any other possibility to run them without execute immediate?
