SQL & PL/SQL :: Tricky Concatenation Of Data In One Column
Nov 26, 2010
Every prospect person in the prospect table are approached with a proposal. This proposal record is stored in the proposal table. Proposal is managed by many primary and proposal managers over the period of proposal. They are assigned the proposal in the assignment table. Primary managers have an assignment type 'PM' and proposal manager have a assignment type of 'PS'
i Need to make below1 and 2 changes to the script.
1-when proposal is current (proposal.active_ind = 'Y' ) then extract only currently assigned primary and proposal managers (assignment active_ind = 'Y') and these managers should be assigned after the proposal has started (assignment.start_date >= proposal.start_date )
2-when proposal is not current (proposal.active_ind = 'N' ) then extract even not curRent assigned primary and proposal managers (not use this in criteria assignment active_ind = 'Y') and these managers should be assigned only after the proposal has started (assignment.start_date >= proposal.start_date )
Primary/Proposal Manager column : Format to print as below:
All Primary managers seperated with space "/" between and all proposal managers after that and "*" at the end
For Example : Mary Steve Roger / Chris Danny Veronica * also, current script only extracts 5 primary managers and 4 proposal managers but thats ok. i can put 10 max(decode statements in the output cause i think they cannot have more than 10 managers.
I have a table which stores customer ID and price lists assigned to those customers. Each price list can have multiple customers assigned to them. So for example
Customer APrice_List1 Customer BPrice_List1 Customer C Price_List2 Customer D Price_List3
Now I am trying to write a SQL statement to return just pricelists which contain just ONE customer (so in the above example would just return Price_list2 and Price_List3).
I need to concatenate only columns with name starting with C and add separator between them. Is there any function do concatenate columns using separator like:
SELECT T.DUMMY P1, T.DUMMY P2, DBMS_SOMETHING.SOME_FUNCTION(',', C1,C2,C3,C4,C5) FROM DUAL T;
IF LENGTH(v_final_string) < 3800 THEN SELECT nvl2(v_final_string,v_final_string ||',' ,v_final_string) || temp.temp_string INTO v_final_string FROM DUAL; DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('v_final_string=' || v_final_string ); ELSE EXIT; END IF;inside a loop.
But it's not concatenating. I am alwas getting empty v_final_string
We are using Oracle 11g (11.1.0).I'm not all that prolific when it comes to writing queriesI have a table...
Table1 ----------------------------------------- oid narr parent ----------------------------------------- 1 some narrative null 2 more narrative 1 3 a bit of test narrative 2
Simply put, I need a query that will recurse up through each rows parent and return the concatination of all parents and itself narrative.
Expected output ------------------------------------ some narrative more narrative some narrative a bit of test narrative more narrative some narrative
The requirement is that this is one single query as it will be called from a third party application we are using. We need this recursion and concatenation to be done on the database, as while we have control over the database queries that get executed we have no control over the internal source of this third party applications.I have been digging around for a bit, I have tried using a combination of JOINS and UNIONS but keep hitting a brick wall.
The best I could come up with is... SELECT concat(n1.narr, n2.narr) FROM table1 n1 JOIN table1 n2 ON n1.oid = n2.parent
But this only returns two lines, for oid's 2 and 3, and only concatinates with the immediate parent.
1. I would like to know if any of the fields are empty I would like to eliminate the comma character from the string. 2. Can I replace the comma with a new line character and what character to be used in the syntax.
I am trying to spool the data to a file , and my query has 115 columns and out of which 20 columns have varchar2(2000). And its throwing result string concatenation too long.
I tried using to_clob function , but spool file does not show the complete result set.
I am receiving a ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long error on the following code. The size of the MNO_NOTE fields is: MNO_NOTES_1 X(2000). I'd rather not modify the DB table column size, but rather that capacity of the "notes", or whatever structure the concatenated string is stored in. Could I use the substring method?
SELECT TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(mno_date_recorded,'yyyymmdd')|| TO_CHAR(mno_time_recorded,'0009'),'yyyymmddhh24mi') AS create_date, stf_id AS create_user, RTRIM(MNO_NOTES_1)|| RTRIM(MNO_NOTES_2)|| RTRIM(MNO_NOTES_3)|| RTRIM(MNO_NOTES_4)|| RTRIM(MNO_NOTES_5)|| [code]...
I have a sql query which has around 115 columns and out of which 25 columns are of varchar2(2000) and when I run the query I get the ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long error.
I tried to use to_clob function for the columns having varchar2(2000) and if I run the sql from toad , it works fine, but when I tried to run the same query from sqlplus and spool to a file, the result doesn't come in a single line. I have tried to import the spool file to my local and open it , but still it doesn't come in a single line, the data is trucated This is how my data looks in the spool file.
1-L31OGM|Red|1|Due|Qualified|02/08/2012||02/08/2012| you are missing a message.
These are the below set options used in the query . I even tried set long 100000000 and also set longchucksize option also, I have tried with WRAP OFF and WRAP ON also ,but still it doesn't work.
SET HEADING OFF SET WRAP OFF SET LINESIZE 32000 SET FEEDBACK OFF SET PAGESIZE 0 SET LONG 32000 SET TRIMSPOOL ON SET ECHO OFF SET TERMOUT OFF
get the data in a single line and using utl_file package is not an option in our project due to security reason.
i try to insert Concatenation string to my table,i need that all traps that has 12 length will be insert the new trapnum like this:
for example: 26001005CC45 = 260001005CC0045 ....... 08060027RF05 = 080600027RF0005 ......... and so....
update trap set TrapNum = ( select trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,1,4),'0000'))|| trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,5,1),'00'))|| trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,6,3),'000'))|| substr(TrapNum,9,2)|| trim(both from to_char(substr(TrapNum,11,2),'0000')) from Trap) where length(Trapnum)=12
SYS@prod> select PLATFORM_ID, PLATFORM_NAME from v$database; PLATFORM_ID ----------- PLATFORM_NAME ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 Microsoft Windows x86 64-bit [code]...
as I googled the solution does not seems to apply to my case.it very puzzling that such a short query can produce
ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long.
SELECT 'Existing Tables: ' || LISTAGG(table_name, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY table_name) tablenames FROM user_tables;
i receive the error :
ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long 01489. 00000 - "result of string concatenation is too long" *Cause: String concatenation result is more than the maximum size. *Action: Make sure that the result is less than the maximum size.
I have a table where i have description column which free text column, the data in description column is seperated and i want to corvert 1 row data in multiple rows dependeing on the number of words.
eg
id description 78664 Pumps Alarm from CAMS RTU154
In the above example this column has 5 word so i want data in 5 rows like below
78664 Pumps 78664 Alarm 78664 from 78664 CAMS 78664 RTU154
This column data can be varied from 1 to any number of words.
I am trying to name a column from data stored in a row (Phone number) I want to name it from the first 3 digits (Area code) and I have no clue how to do it I have googled but I think the query is a little too complicated for me to explain it and get a result from google or find it in a section of a book.
My phone numbers are strings, so I initially look for the first 3 characters and then start separating and counting, I can do that, the only problem I have is naming the column WITH the the first three digits that I just separated.
I have some tables. TABLE1 contains columns called query_id and a column called List_name TABLE2 holds a list of data and the TABLE_NAME = value in TABLE1 held under LIST_NAME TABLE3 contains column with Query_ID and other info.
Is it possible to grab the entry in TABLE1 under LIST_NAME as a TABLE_NAME in a data source?

I am trying to learn by myself how to use databases and am using the HR database that comes in oracle since I read in a forum that it is a great way to learn how to use queries.
I read about using Pivot to do it, but in pivot I need to know how many area codes there are. I will post a screen shot of the table that I am working on the other post
[URL].....
I can group by phone number with this:
SELECT SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT FROM EMPLOYEES GROUP BY SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3);
But what I am interested in doing is that instead of Area appearing as a column, that the actual first 3 digits would appear as the column name.
This is kind of what I am trying to do, but instead of AREA appearing as column name I would like for each one of the area codes to appear as column name, here is the
SELECT DE.DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) AREA, COUNT(SUBSTR(EM.PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3)) TOTAL_COUNT FROM EMPLOYEES EM, DEPARTMENTS DE WHERE DE.DEPARTMENT_ID = EM.DEPARTMENT_ID GROUP BY DEPARTMENT_NAME, EM.SEX, SUBSTR(PHONE_NUMBER, 1, 3) ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_NAME;

If a particular department has 10 employees it should have data upto emp_name_10,if department has only 5 employess it should data upto emp_name_5 and so on.I came up with below approach, in this approach I need to create new table to store the data in row wise.
In my actual requirement 4 tables needs to be joined and 2 of the tables are very large.Is there any other approach without creating a new table, something within pl/sql.
drop table emp_dept; create table emp_dept(deptno number,dept_name varchar2(100),emp_name varchar2(100),hire_date date,seq_cnt number,total_cnt number); insert into emp_dept
