SQL & PL/SQL :: String Between Two Strings?
Apr 4, 2012
I have to fetch a string which is between to constant strings in a column.
Ex: Test Column
"The Student Record 10101 is deleted"
"The Student Record 10102 is deleted"
"The Student Record 10103 is deleted"
3 rows.
In this i need to fetch only ID from each row.
create table testtable ( TestCol varchar2(4000));
INSERT INTO TESTTABLE VALUES ('The Student Record 10101 is deleted');
INSERT INTO TESTTABLE VALUES ('The Student Record 10102 is deleted');
INSERT INTO TESTTABLE VALUES ('The Student Record 10103 is deleted');

The db field is a string-type field that hold strings such as:
'1234'
'753'
'textstring'
'345'
Obviously, if you sort it, it'll be stored as a string such as:
'1234'
'345'
'753'
'textstring'
My client wants it so the numbers sort as integers, followed by string-like strings (sorted alphabetically), so it's like.
'345'
'753'
'1234'
'textstring'
Is there a quick and dirty SQL-only way to doing this in Oracle?

I have 2 strings that I want to compare for example
string1 = 'ABC~AB/10/1234'
string2 = 'ABC~AB/10/1234~.....'
There could be anything after the 2nd ~ in string 2 is there a easy way of trimming string2 to the first 14 Characters? Or do I have to find the 2nd instance of ~ and then remove everything after (and including) that?

In the code segment below (hope it appears right) I can understand the use of single quotes in the first two examples but in the third example below I had to use double quotes around the word - Today's - and I not sure I understand why?! I'm aware of the rules ...If you want a single quote to appear in the middle of a string add another single quote to it.If you want a single quote to appear at the beginning or end of a string add 2 single quotes to it.If you want a single quote to appear on its own add 3 single quotes to it.
SQL> select 'This isn''t' from dual;
'THISISN''
----------
This isn't
SQL> select to_number('34@456#789', '999G999D999', 'nls_numeric_characters=''#@'' ') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('34@456#789','999G999D999','NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=''#@''')
---------------------------------------------------------------------
34456.789
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'fm"Today''s" ddth Month YYYY') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'FM"TODAY''S"DDTHMONTHYYYY')

extract the value of the strings for REQUEST_GROUP_CODE and REQUEST_GROUP_APPL_SHORT_NAME. As you can see I have to deal with whitespace differences, case differences etc. I need the values between the quotes for each one. get ACCOUNTING and AR for the first example. I am using db version 11g r1.
WITH TEST AS
(SELECT 'REQUEST_GROUP_CODE="ACCOUNTING" REQUEST_GROUP_APPL_SHORT_NAME="AR" TITLE="AR:AR_SRS_TITLE_ACC_RPTS"' str FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'REQUEST_GROUP_CODE = "PRINT_CONSINV"REQUEST_GROUP_APPL_SHORT_NAME = "AR"TITLE =

I have to compare a string entered in a form with a series of English strings in back-end PL/SQL( using LIKE operator )
But it so happens, the string entered in the form is specific to the language used in the country. for ex. in Dutch, it is entered in Dutch language.
So on comparing, it fails as the PL/SQL compares it with English Strings.

I am importing some data using an external table, but the file on which the external table is built has some rows where a certain column is populated with two empty space characters.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY xtern_data_dir AS 'C:/...';
CREATE TABLE ET_RPDMMA1_PEDI_MSTR (
GCN_SEQNO NUMBER(6),
PDM_MNAGE NUMBER(4),
PDM_MXAGE NUMBER(4),
PDM_MND NUMBER(18,6),
[code].......
This is an except of what's in the external text file. The full text file has been attached.
000011|0030|....|000000.000000| |000000.000000| |0002
000011|0365|....|000000.000000| |000000.000000| |0002
000011|0730|....|000000.000000| |000000.000000| |0002
^
blank spaces may be |
causing error----------
Here is the error message I am receiving. I believe this is caused by the blank fields in the data.
INSERT INTO RPDMMA1_PEDI_MSTR (GCN_SEQNO,....
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-30653: reject limit reached
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 52
This is difficult to work with because the external table function does not appear to be even reading the file so it's not like I can convert the data as I'm loading into the internal database table. What are some approaches I can use to get Oracle to accept these blank columns and either populate them with blank spaces or set them to null?

tyring to insert an insery query having string as a column where i am supposed to insert a single quote casuing the problem.
insert into abc(x,y) values (1,'select abc,bbc from T_AB A,select fgh,hij from T_AB where fgh='self' group by fgh,hij having count(fgh)>1) B) where A.hij=B.hij')
getting missing comma with the above query.when i tried to give as
insert into abc(x,y) values (1,'select abc,bbc from T_AB A,select fgh,hij from T_AB where fgh=''self'' group by fgh,hij having count(fgh)>1) B) where A.hij=B.hij')
insert is happening but saving as "select abc,bbc from T_AB A,select fgh,hij from T_AB where fgh=''self'' group by fgh,hij having count(fgh)>1) B) where A.hij=B.hij"
how to avoid this and get the select query to store as
select abc,bbc from T_AB A,select fgh,hij from T_AB where fgh=''self'' group by fgh,hij having count(fgh)>1) B) where A.hij=B.hij

There are two tables:
create table songs(song_name text, song_artist text,song_url text, song_cat text, last_edit text);
create table categories(cat_name text, cat_total int);
im trying to create a trigger that, when i insert a new song in the songs table, it will check the category of the song (song_cat) and increase the respective cat_total (from table categories) by 1.
here is what i've done so far:
drop trigger countcat;
CREATE TRIGGER countcat AFTER INSERT ON songs FOR EACH ROW
update categories SET cat_total= cat_total +1
WHERE cat_name = (select song_cat FROM inserted);
What to write in the cat_name = (select ...). I have tried lots of stuff but still nothing. when i use this, i get the error that mydatabase.inserted doesnt exist

I have a function in PL/SQL that uses CTE to obtain several strings. I need to return those strings to C#, either as a Return Value or a OUTPUT parameter.
I've managed to do that using PLSQL Associative Array, but it has the unnecessary usage of Array Bind Size, and I do not need to know what will be my Array size. Is that any other way to do it?

create or replace

I have a string:
"This is just for testing 123.
This is just for testing 45654.
This is just for testing 5567876.
This is just for testing 53456547.
This is just for testing 123423.
This is just for testing 98090.
This is just for testing 099473.
This is just for testing.
This is just for testing.
This is just for testing 3.
This is just for testing 34983245983.
This is just for testing 6432."
I need to divide this sting after every 100 characters, as the length of column to insert is 100. And i do not want to modify the column as it has great impact. I need to divide the string, such that it should be less then 100 characters also the string is not cut in between.
like:
first string: "This is just for testing 123.
This is just for testing 45654.
This is just for testing 5567876."
then 2nd string: "This is just for testing 53456547.
This is just for testing 123423.
This is just for testing 98090."
then 3rd string: "This is just for testing 099473.
This is just for testing.
This is just for testing.
This is just for testing 3."

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 created a sample application in java which concatenates three strings and displays the result in a final string.
Check the -
public class conCat
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
String Message1 = "This ";
String Message2 = "is a Sample ";
[code].......
This is a Sample Application
And the three strings are concatenated to the final string "Message" only. How to concatenate them vertically? The required output is :

I have to write a PL/SQL procedure, which is supposed to take an array of strings as input. This array will have simple strings as elements, like
'000887S','000780S'.
Now I have a query in the procedure, which will return a row, for each of the array elements. For example:
SELECT
su.EMPLOYEE_ID,su.FIRST_NAME,
su.LAST_NAME
FROM
USERS su,
[code]......
In the place of the '?' in the above query, the array elements have to be passed. So we will get one row from the above query for each array element.
Now we either have to loop through the array elements to fetch the result set for the above query for each array element, or we can use some other method too. Our objective is to collect all the rows of the above query for each array element as a table data and this procedure has to return this table set.
what will be the best way to pass such a set of data to the proc and best way for the proc to return this result set. Like we can use arrays, table type data,ref cursors, etc.

how to write below query in pl/sql cursor. The help table has two associated tables, help_txt and help_id, which will have strings of data concatenated into one sales contact record. There are multiple lines of text per comment and multiple lines of resolution text at 40 characters per line. The key to the help_text table (id, date,seqno) is the main key to the help_txt table and help_id t table with a sequence added to each table
The formatted string will contain some text and variables with the comment lines (1-10 or more) concatenated first, followed by the resolution lines (1-10 or more). There will be multiple comment and multiple resolution lines. The Cust_Cmnt_Txt lines and the Resolved_Desc lines should be concatenated and formatted in the following string (% marks the variable string) :
'help taken ' %help.Taken_Dte 'received from the following source: ' %help.id. 'Remark Text: ' %help_text (where help_txt_Seq = 1) %help_text (where help_text_seq = 2-10 or more) 'Resolution: ' %help_id_Res_Txt.Resolved_Desc (where help_ID_Txt_Seq = 1) %help_ID_Res_Txt.Resolved_Desc (where help_id_Txt_Seq = 2-10 or more)

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

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!
