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?
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 using the following query to trim the white space and enter character in the given string. BUt it is trimming the euro symbol also.
SQL> select regexp_replace(i_ruleexpression, '([^[:graph:]|^[:blank:]])','') into i_ruleexpression from dual ;
i_ruleexpression: Item.addChildByName("Advantage Smart 75 (-15€)")
We are using Oracle Forms 6i and back-end as Oracle 10g Database. We are facing a specific problem while working with Forms6i. I am giving the steps as showm below:
1. We have a table named TEST (a number not null, b char(1) not null).
2. When we insert a record throuhg SQL*PLUS like this:
insert into test values (1, ' '). The record is inserted in the table TEST successfully.
3. We checked the length of column b i.e. select length(b) from test, it is showing 1. This is the correct value because it has inserted a space in column 'b' of the table TEST. (That's what we want).
4. We created a form having data-block from table TEST and trying to insert the same record throuhg Forms9i.
5. There it gives an error of "Unable to INSERT record" becuase in form builder, it is trimming the spaces for column 'b' automatically and making it NULL. Since the column 'b' defined as NOT NULL in table TEST, hence generating the error. (Basically there in form builder, it is generating ORA-01400 error which is can not insert NULL value in NOT NULL column).
We would like to know why in form builder, space is automatically being trimmed to NULL..? We do not want this to happen. We want space to be inserted as space only. How can i implement this case, becuase we need this kind of functionality in our form builder application.
I have requirement wherein i need to compare two strings (with multiple words) and it should return the %(percentage) of comparison.
e.g. "oracle infotech" and "infotech oracle" are 100% match
Do we have any oracle built ins to compare ?
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');
PROCEDURE COLUMN_SPLIT (p_def IN VARCHAR2, p_sch OUT VARCHAR2, p_table OUT VARCHAR2, p_column OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END;
END;
I want to split p_def by dots, check for 3 elements, and return them in p_sch, p_table and p_column for example p_sch will be like hello.howare.you.I want to split it to hellohowareyouI have very limited knowledge with pl/sql.
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?
Im trying to extract, *THIS IS MY STRING* from *<YUVRAJ THIS IS MY SRTING YUVRAJ>* .
In this <YUVRAJ and YUVRAJ> is constant, need to remove which is being appended at begin and end for a set of strings.
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.

Outside of convoluted loop using the SUBSTR() function, is there an easy way to extract each element from a comma-sepearted list that's passed in to a stored proc?

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

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?

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."
I would like to create a procedure in oracle to remove extra spaces coming as blank spaces(squared ones)in strings.
View 32 Replies View RelatedWe 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 a requirement to get the count of those records whose department is not changed since they have joined the organization.

/
INSERT INTO ddumps VALUES(1,'01-JAN-2001','ORG2')

INSERT INTO ddumps VALUES(2,'01-JAN-1999','ORG1')

INSERT INTO ddumps VALUES(2,'01-JAN-2000','ORG1')

1 1/1/2001 ORG2
2 1/1/1999 ORG1
2 1/1/2000 ORG1
2 1/1/2001 ORG1
since the orgid 1 has changed the dept from org1 to org2 I do not want this to be appeared in the final count. Results should only include the orgid 2 since it didn't changed any dept.

Q) If am not using the order by clause its giving me wrong output even though both the data tables has same data. WHY?

How to select the transactions out of the database that occurred within 70 seconds of each other. The toll_date field is a TIMESTAMP field.
Problem is, I seem to only get transactions that occurred within 70 minutes of each other. On the timestamp field I break the math down into the seconds in a day and I add 70. I then subtract that value and add that value to the timestamp and I should get anything between those values right?
SELECT Acct_ID, Ln, Tag_Rd, COUNT(*)

I want to do a comparision for the missing rows between two diffrent tables
TBL1 and TBL2 both with the same structure but with diffrent data some data is identical. though my data is huge i wanted to make sure the technique i am using
As part of our project, we need to perform table comparisons in two different databases. I am currently looking for various options to accomplish this.
One of them is doing minus operation between these two tables. Also, i have looked at the data compare option in toad utility.
I am working in form 6i, database 9i. I have datablock on table t1.
table t1: name(varchar2), date(varchar2)
datablock: name(varchar2), date(varchar2)[i have insert date with time stamp]
for date column, i am inserting date with time stamp.While querying data, user just enters only date(no time stamp), i should be able to query data. I tried in data block where condition
WHERE: substr(date,1,11)=nvl(:block.date,substr(date,1,11)
i am not able to retrieve data through date, through name it's working fine.how to retrieve data by only entering date (without time stamp)
Managed to confuse myself significantly. I essentially want to write a query to determine when two counts are the same using a subquery.
Eg:
R(x,y)
Select count(x)
from R
group by x;
Then I want to run another query to determine which x's have the same count value and output these corresponding x's.
