SQL & PL/SQL :: Show Value Of Variable In Double Quotes?
Dec 4, 2011
declare
v_a varchar2(2000) := 'abcd';
v_e varchar2(2000) := '6666';
v_d varchar2(2000) := 'example';
v_final varchar2(4000);
begin
v_final := '"v_a"'||'''|'''||'"v_e"'||'''|'''||'"v_d"';
-- v_final := '"v_a"';
dbms_output.put_line('v_final: '||v_final);
end;
/
above gives me :
v_final: "v_a"'|'"v_e"'|'"v_d"
so it is printing the variable names, But I want to see values, like this: "abcd"|"6666"|"example"

I want to remove more than one space from a string by excluding double quotes.
For example:
I/P: Item .getChildByType(" Agreement").getParent( ) .hasChildByType("Agreement ")
O/P : Item.getChildByType(" Agreement").getParent().hasChildByType("Agreement ")

Any way to replace the Double Quotes used to enclose column names with an alternative character. This is the SQL I have now that Works!
select (case when CUST is null then "/BIC/Z_SUPPLNT" else NM1 end) CMPNTSUPSRCE
from TBL1, TBL2
where "/BIC/Z_MAJVEND"=CUST(+) and Material = '1ABCD456'
order by Material
But would like to do something along these lines below but keep getting error "ORA-00936: missing expression".
select (case when CUST is null then chr(34)||/BIC/Z_SUPPLNT||chr(34) else NM1 end) CMPNTSUPSRCE
from TBL1, TBL2
where chr(34)||/BIC/Z_MAJVEND||chr(34)=CUST(+) and Material = '1ABCD456'
order by Material

I am having a similar problem like above ONLY in UNIX box where my datafile is delimited by "|". The last field is ITM_CMNT declared as VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle. When I have exactly 60bytes in the last field it rejects the record saying actual 61 and max allowed is 60. If i reduce it to < 60bytes then it is stored as a value enclosed with double quotes. The enclosing double quote is on the next line.
"PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BA"
Expected: the one below is exactly 60bytes.
PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BAT
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE TMPTLI_LAWSON_ITM_MST
TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
(ITM_NO, HAZ_MAT_CD, ITM_SHRT_DS, ITM_SON "TRIM(:ITM_SON)", ADDED_DT DATE "YYYY-MM-DD",
AVL_CD , ITM_CST_AMT, ITM_SLL_AMT,
EXCHG_PRC_AMT , ITM_UOM "TRIM(:ITM_UOM)",
PCK_QTY INTEGER EXTERNAL, SPC_HNDL_CD "TRIM(:SPC_HNDL_CD)", EFF_DT DATE "YYYY-MM-DD",

I have a query which does a double right outer join, and I need it to be rewritten using the newer syntax.
The previous query had the following clause:
WHERE
MOD_INFO.MODIFICATION_ID (+)= MOD.ID
AND MOD.PEPTIDE_ID (+)= PEPTIDE.ID
Or you can think of it generically as:
T1.T2_FK (+)= T2.ID AND
T2.T3_FK (+)= T3.ID
How would this be written using the newer syntax?

I am reading Section 4-8 (page 42/216) in the Oracle Database 2-day Developer Guide from here:
[Code]....
It reads:
Suppose that you want to select every employee whose last name has a double vowel(two adjacent occurrences of the same vowel).
Example 4.9 shows how you can do this.
The regular expression ([AEIOU]) represents any vowel. The metacharacter 1 represents the first (and in this case, only) regular expression. The third function parameter, 'i', specifies that the match is case-insensitive.
Example 4.9 Selecting All Employees Whose Last Names Have Double Vowels
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(LAST_NAME, '([AEIOU])1', 'i');
Result is similar to:
FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
-------------------- -------------------------
Harrison Bloom
Lex De Haan
Kevin Feeney
Ki Gee
Nancy Greenberg
Danielle Greene
Alexander Khoo
David Lee
8 rows selected.
I don't understand how [AEIOU])1 would find a double vowel(two adjacent occurrences of the same vowel).

i'm trying to read a text file into an oracel table. I'm having issues with this statement FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ' fields are separated by 2 spaces. How ever Oracle is not recognizing ' ' or " " as double space. It is treating as one space thus shifting all coulmns.
How can I represent double space to Oracle ?

Here is a sample function which takes in a string of CSV fields and prints the third field :
create or replace function restr(istr varchar2) return INTEGER
is
var_1 varchar2(30);
begin
dbms_output.put_line('input:'||istr);
select regexp_substr(',' || istr,1,3,null,1) into var_1 from dual;
[Code]..
When I pass an input string as :
JOHN,MARY,O'DONNEL,O'CONNELLY,MARK
with quotes/apostrophe in it to the function then it prints the input string in the first dbms_output but errors out at the select with ORA-01760.
how we can use the quote/apostrophe character here ?

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;

I need to write a procedure to be able to reuse it to clean up subcategory sequence. Here is a problem: two tables: Category and subcategory:
create table Category
(category_id number,
Name varchar2(20))
/
create table Sub_Category
(sub_category_id number,
category_id number,
sequence number)
/
In the ideal world each subcategory of a single category would have unique sequence so if there are 3 subcategory for the same category then each of them would have 1,2,3 in sequence, if there are 5 subcategories then 1,2,3,4,5 for each of them etc.
Problem I'm facing is that some of the subcategories sequences for the same category has the same values . For instance for 4 subcategories of the same category, each of them has 1 (1,1,1,1) in a sequence.
So ideal world is :
Insert into Category values (123 ,'Category1');
Insert into Category values (234 ,'Category2');
Insert into Category values (345 ,'Category3');
Insert into Category values (456 ,'Category4');
Insert into Category values (567 ,'Category5');
Insert into Sub_Category values (1,123,1);
Insert into Sub_Category values (2,123,2);
Insert into Sub_Category values (3,123,3);
But I've also bad rows like this:
Insert into Sub_Category values (4,234,1);
Insert into Sub_Category values (5,234,1);
Insert into Sub_Category values (6,234,1);
Insert into Sub_Category values (7,345,1);
Insert into Sub_Category values (8,345,1);
[code].....
Fix for this and my goal is to select all such cases where subcases have mixed up sequences as above and give them randomly numbers starting from 1. So if there are 3 subcategories like for CATEGORY 2 then just apply random number to the sequence of the subCATEGORIES like 1,2,3. For CATEGORY 3 : 1,2,3 to 7.
I was thinking to write two procedures one selecting all the categories and passing category ID to the other procedure that would actually update sequence, like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SCHEMA.SELECT_CATEGORY
IS
CURSOR c1
IS
select category_ID from category where ...;
BEGIN
FOR a IN c1 LOOP
UPDATE_SUBCATEGORY(a.Category_id);
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END;
/
And the actual procedure updating subcategory:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SCHEMA.UPDATE_SUBCATEGORY
BEGIN
............
END;
/
write PROCEDURE SCHEMA.SELECT_CATEGORY cursor to not miss any of the categories ID having mixed up subcategory. There can be any of the doubled sequences like doubled 1 value (this is majority) but there can be any other doubles (or at least I need to make sure that there aren't any other doubles 2 values or 3 values in sequence etc.)
And how to write SCHEMA.UPDATE_SUBCATEGORY to loop through rows of subcategory and update sequence with values starting from 1 ?

I support old oracle code and we currently print using the set report object property.
I recently was requested to modify all of our printing to two-sided printing from the current one page per sheet.
I am trying to figure out if there is a parameter I can set, i.e.REPORT_OTHER or something else that would allow me to do this.

I have a dynamic query which has this clause in it: WHERE [COLUMN NAME] IN (' || theString || ')
My problem is that theString is being passed in through a C# call and the variable is a bunch of strings concatenated together and separated by a comma. Ex: theString = "'val1','val2'"
How many quotes are supposed to go around val1 and val2?
I've tried the following and none work:
'val1','val2'
''val1','val2''
''val1'',''val2''
'''val1'',''val2'''
''''val1'',''val2''''
When I run the procedure in Oracle it works with '''val1'',''val2'''

I have a requirement like:
Create Table A
( a number,
CreationDate DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (CreationDate)
(
Partition p_03122012 VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2012-12-04 00:00:00'),
[Code]...
NOTE: Partition are named as p_ddmmyyyy where ddmmyyyy is date.
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A'
Now my requirement is :
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A' and partition_name > 'p_ddmmyyyy' (Here I want ddmmyyyy to be from sysdate i.e. date we get from - Select to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyy') from dual
i.e. for today it becomes
select * from dba_tab_partitions where table_name = 'A' and partition_name > 'P_04122012'
So it returns me two rows.
How can I do it in single quotes.

I searched the forum but could not find an answer. I am creating an extract via SPOOL that will send the output to a CSV file. I am comfortable concatenating commas in between the fields, the problem lies in text fields such as last_name which may contain a comma. The requirements of my client state to put double quotes around text fields ONLY if they contain a comma (so as not to throw off the CSV file obviously).
The only thing I could think of was a nested DECODE checked every character of every text field for a , and if it finds one to put " and if not to put nothing. This would get very tedious to program it as there are many text fields and they can be very long. I may even run out of nested DECODE statements (I forget what the limit is now).

I have an script.sql that receives as a parameter an string.
example:
@C:/myscript.sql "o'connor"
user_account_value varchar2(120) := '&1';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Select * from Table where column = :1 " USING user_account_value I am not sure how to deal with string that contains single quotes.
If the parameter were passed as : "o''connor" this will work
If the parameter is pass as: "o'connor" this will not work.
so my question is what options do I have to deal with dynamic queries and single quotes.
I tried replacing replace(myParameter,'''',''''''); but not working well.

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
