Trying to get a number out of an error backtrack
06512: at "SCHEMA.PROCEDURE", line 4
I only need to take the 4 out of this message. Of course the number might be anything from 1 to 10000.
The database languages might differ so I can't do this using
v_line_no:=SUBSTR(v_line_no,INSTR(v_line_no,'line')+5)
As it would not find any 'line' inside the string.
I have table having a single column a, which contain the values "HP Laptop", can search it in either way , i mean to say either user input the HP Laptop or Laptop HP? is it possible via SQL query ?

Parameters: instr(text_to_be_searched, pattern, offset, nth)
Example: I want to search 'Hello world' for the first instance of the letter 'o' starting from the end, backwards.As you can see, result for DBMS_LOB.instr is null when entered -1 for offset.
select
DBMS_LOB.instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) lob_i,
instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) std_i

I have a script that is using the INSTR function to search through a block of data for a specific string (CALL). I am ONLY looking for that string set but unfortunately, there are other words within that block of text that have that string set within it (e.g. CALL_MY_PHONE). Is there any way to make the INSTR search DISTINCT? Below is the code that I am using:
to_number(DECODE(INSTR(ph.block,'CALL'),0,0,1))
Assuming I have the following table with its data:
Quote:
| code | description |
| A | $abc + xyz = $cba - 2 |
| B | ($12345 + $12345)/3 |
| C | $poke + $abc = $abc + 456 - 789 |
How can I do a selective search on "description" column for any word that starts with the "$" sign? In the end, this is the resultset that I am expecting:
Quote:
| $ | count of $ |
| $abc | 3 |
| $cba | 1 |
| $12345 | 2 |
| $poke | 1 |
I have one table for eg. TB_Fruits.
In that i have one column FruitsName(Varchar)
In that column i am storing string in comma separated values.
Select FruitsName from tb_fruits;
Result: orange,banana,apple
Now the issue is suppose if i try to insert any of these fruits name again then it should not allow me to insert.
Suppose now if i try to insert ('grapes,banana')
or
('apple,grapes')
the orange,banana,apple can be in any position.
How to check if any of these names already exist or not in the column fruitsname?
I cannot use like or INstr function here. because the position is not fixed not even string.
I want to search for a pattern and replace with a string. I can easily achieve the same in oracle 10g with REGEXP_REPLACE , I want to get the similar solution in 9i.
Eg.
I have to search for a string pattern 1234 5678 9012 6736 , I want to replace the same with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
My Scenario is'....456re0,50kg400,500rfabs43qre30,25kg150,354rf658....'
there is possible,using regexp_substr or other way to get the values, 0,50 and 400,500 and 30,25 and 150,354? I'm using [^re]+[$kg] and the string comes, but only the first occurence..

difference between the ways we create Reverse Key Index on the table.The two ways are as below:
1) CREATE INDEX <Index_Name> ON <Table_Name>(<Column_Name) REVERSE ;
2) CREATE INDEX <Index_Name> ON<Table_Name>(REVERSE(<Column_Name>)) ;
Which one is the appropraite one.
Are both going to act in the same way.
I created index in both ways one by one on the table.But when I fire the select statement against the same table, The explain plan doesn't show any cost and it shows the full table scan in both ways.The select statement used is as below...I want to compare the column with string RBO(i.e('RBO%') at the start.
SELECT *
FROM <Table_Name>
WHERE REVERSE (<Column_Name>) LIKE '%OBR' ;
The select statement is giving me the correct result. Only the explain plan is showing Full Table Scan.can we use this reverse with IN operator also in the same way by reversing the values.

Oracle Version: 11gR2: 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
OS: Linux Fedora Core 17 X86_64
Currently, I'm reading the online book Oracle Concepts, Chapter 3: 3 Indexes and Index-Organized Tables, section: Reverse Key Indexes in order to understand this topic.
As I understand for each pair of (key, rowid) in the index structure, the rowid for each row in the table obviously remains the same but the bytes of the key are reversed before the key is stored. So for example on a 32 bit machine (just an example) a key = 10 AB CD EF will be stored as FE DC BA 01 , am I right?
According to the documentation, this becomes interesting in RAC environments in order to remove a hot spot from the index (when multiple instances repeatedly modify the same block) with the disadvantage that in some cases there cannot be Index Range Scan any more as data in the index is not sorted by column key when it is stored.
I was just curious to see how bytes of each key are reversed and after a bit googling I found an article where Tom Kyte shows with an example by using dump function (which as I understand gives the internal representation of a given expression) the difference in the sequence of bytes. Here is the link
[URL]
So based on his instructions I tried to do my own test, yet I don't get the same result, that is, the bytes are not reversed for me once we rebuild the index by REVERSE key word.
I'm going to write down here the test that I did, where is/are my error(s)
Test Case:
(I use a copy of the employees table in hr sample schema)
SQL> CREATE TABLE emp_test AS SELECT * FROM hr.employees;
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX emp_test_idx ON emp_test(first_name);
[code]...
Now, a test SQL Query using the index we've just defined (just for giving an example)
SQL> SELECT first_name,
2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result
3 FROM emp_test
4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
FIRST_NAME DUMP_RESULT
-------------- ----------------------------------
Kelly Typ=1 Len=5: 4b,65,6c,6c,79
[code]...
So, according to the above Execution plan, Oracle does an Index Range Scan using the index that I defined on my table that is, emp_test_idx. According to the output of dump, the key (first_name) in that index is stored (in terms of bytes) as 4b,65,6c,6c,79
SQL> SELECT chr(to_number('4b', 'xx')) ||
2 chr(to_number('65', 'xx')) ||
3 chr(to_number('6c', 'xx')) ||
4 chr(to_number('6c', 'xx')) ||
5 chr(to_number('79', 'xx')) first_name
6 FROM DUAL;
FIRST_NAME
--------------------
Kelly
Which as we can see corresponds to the first name 'Kelly', the first name we specified in the above SQL query.
Now let's rebuild the index
SQL> ALTER INDEX emp_test_idx REBUILD REVERSE;
Index altered.
SQL>
Once the index keys have been reversed, I run the very same query in order to see the difference
SQL> SELECT first_name,
2 dump(first_name, 16) as dump_result
3 FROM emp_test
4 WHERE first_name = 'Kelly';
[code]...
So the second time after the index has been reversed, I still get the very same sequence of bytes, that is, 4b,65,6c,6c,79, whereas I expected to get 79,6c,6c,65,4b (that is, the reversed order of the initial bytes sequence)
We have a SSRS Front end screen which sends multi-select column values as comma separated strings to back end ( Oracle 10g) procedure .
The procedure builds the string by inserting single quotes in the following manner.
P_BU_LST is the parameter which have comma separated values
'1234,3456,4577' i.e, BU ids selected by user in front end
the procedure inserts single quotes to this paramer value
i.e., '1234','3456','4577
v_bu_lst := '''' || REPLACE(v_selbu, ',', ''',''')|| '''';
This is used the where clause of the REF CURSOR SELECT query which send the data back to SSRS
ie.,
SELECT BU.*
FROM BU_DETAIL BU
WHERE INSTR(V_BU_LST,BU_ID) <> 0;
INSTR has a chance to fail in this scenario if the value send from the front end is 123456,3456,4577
here 123456 does not exist in table, but it will be true for INSTR and values 1234 from table will be send back to SSRS which is wrong. Earlier I was using a function to convert the comma separated values to multi-rows and treat it like a lookup table.
But the main table has around million records , and each row has to processed against each row of lookup table, which makes it slower. To avoid this I used INSTR which is faster but can give wrong results.
I have 8 columns. Some of them might be null.I want to display all 8 columns in my result. Not null columns will be first and null at the end.Here is a sample data :
Employee table :
Employee_id Emp_fname emp_lname emp_mname dept salary emp_height emp_weight
1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223
The expected result is :
result1 result2 result3 result4 result5 result6 result7 result8
1 aaa ddd d1 100 6 180
2 bbb ccc 120 169
3 dfe d2 5.9 223
I have this error (and solution):
ORA-02085: database link string connects to string
Cause: a database link connected to a database with a different name. The connection is rejected.
Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it connects to, or set global_names=false.
Where should I set global_names=false ?
I'm facing some problem even after using INSTR function in Oracle.The problem is I have written the logic in the PL/SQL block which appends all the values fetched in a loop on the basis of whether the string is present or not.
For ex:
The first value fetched from the select query first is ABCDEFG which gets appended to a variable
The next value fetched is AB even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG.
The next value fetched is BCDEF even this has to be appended to the variable since this exactly doesn't match with ABCDEFG.
The third Value fetched is ABCDEFG this will not get appended presently according to the logic which is correct.
writing that piece of code to append the value fetched which doesn't exactly match with the existing string
