I am using the oracle 10g, I am trying to write the a sql query by which in a below mention patterns I can replace the digits after a string 'CVV' with X. The no of X will be equal to the no of digits after CVV
AFTER a change above data should look like as mentioned below
1. BTA CVV XXXX 2. VISA PARTICULAR CCVIXXXXXXXXXXXX5474/1012 CVVXXX 3. C***CVV VI XXX*** 4. dskdfjdkgjdfk: FP CCVI,XXXXXXXXXXXX0031/0711/CVV XXX/dffddf:dfdfdfd 5. (T) CVV XXX 6. MS-ACEEML/CVV -- no change for this 7. O/AXXXXXXXXXXXX1007EXP1210/CVVXXXXXXXXXXX4664/MEETING CARD FOR AMEX PARTNER OFFICES --- -- no change for this
Initially I tried to find the position of CVV in any string and then from that position take the digit and replace them with X. I tried the below code which is not complete
select REGEXP_INSTR('BTA CVV XXXX','CVV',1,1) from dual;
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
I am required to manipulate a string in this way.For example ABCDEF)* to $ABCDEF). So I should find * and delete it and instead put $ in the beginning of string.
How can i identify all the occurences of raise_application_error(-20XXX, '<the message>'); within all database objects, and replace them with other text?
I am currently working on a Data Dictionary project where we need to run a few rules against the give data sources to see if they all comply together.
One of the rule is to check if the no. is negative or not. So for that what I tried to do was to check if first the field is number or not and then check on if it is negative or not.
This is the code I am currently trying on and is not looking good.
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE decode(DECODE( TRANSLATE('-123.45','-0.123456789',''), NULL, 1,0), 1,substr('-123.45',1,1) ,' ' ) = '-'
I have a requirement, where i need to find and replace values in delimited string. For example, the string is
"GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~ CREDIT~ A~N~ USD~ NULL~".
The 4th column gives month and year. I need to replace it with previous month name. For example:
"GL~1001~ 157747~ JAN-13~ CREDIT~ A~N~USD~NULL~".
I need to do same for last 12 months. I thought of first devide the values and store it in variable and then after replacing it with required value, join it back. I just wanted to know if there is any better way to do it?
Quote: I have a table(table name is names) with column as name(varchar) . I have the following data for name column.
Miss Mississ Mississipp
I would like to find a nearest match for Mississippi, that means sql should return row that contains Mississipp( Row #3)
If I try to find nearest match for Mississirr then sql should return row that has column value Mississ (Row#2) Is this possible ? Here is the code for table creation and data.
create table names (name varchar2(20));
insert into names values('Miss'); insert into names values('Mississ'); insert into names values('Mississipp'); commit;
select profilename from PROFILE where user_data like '%DATE_RULE!115%';
Output will be "Test A".Now, this is just a single value from RULES table used to find the data of PROFILE table.I will have to run the query on multiple values of RULES tables to find records containing a string format of sort "DATE_RULE!<rule_no>". How to search on WILD CARDs like these?
I have a requirement where I have a value stored in varchar2(12), and no matter what the size of data, I should mask all the characters except the last 4
eg: - 23115645
after masking should be - xxxx5645,
create table test1(x varchar2(12)) insert into test1 values('34567745') / insert into test1 values('438765311') / insert into test1 values('1112345') / commit
[Code].....
y should store value of x in such a way that no matter what the size of x is (7 characters or 9), we should see only the last 4, but the remaining should be masked with xxxx
I tried the above update, but using substr, i am able to get this if x has 9 characters
not sure how to achieve this if x has 7, or 4 characters
Actually I got a data in hex values and i want to convert it to datetime format. But before i convert the hex value into datetime format, i must convert the hex values into decimal val first for each 2 digits of hex values. This is an example of the input data:-
This is input data in hex value:- STARTTIME : 080b1317021a
This is decimal value after convert from hex to decimal:- STARTTIME : 081119230226
My problem is how could i convert hex to decimal in oracle? Below are my coding:-
case when substr(LOAD_NGNSM.STARTTIME, 1, 2) not between '00' and '99' or substr(LOAD_NGNSM.STARTTIME, 3, 2) not between '01' and '12' or substr(LOAD_NGNSM.STARTTIME, 5, 2) not between '01' and '31' or substr(LOAD_NGNSM.STARTTIME, 7, 2) not between '00' and '59' or substr(LOAD_NGNSM.STARTTIME, 9, 2) not between '00' and '59' [code]....
There is a text item on my form with NUMBER data type. I want to force the user to enter exactly 3 digits in to that text item. My current FORMAT MASK is set to 990. But this allows user to enter even a single digit where as my requirement is user should enter exactly 3 digits. Can we achieve this by changing the FORMAT MASK property?
How to get 'MEAL' string? The length of the string can be various. Means, 'MEAL' can be 'INFLIGHT'. So, i cant use the substr. Is there a function that can recognize the pipeline? so that i can remove all the string before the pipeline and after the pipeline to get the string between the pipeline?
I have the following set of numbers that i am passing in as one input into a stored procedure.
234,456,234,456,567
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!
