I have a script that is using the INSTR function to search through a block of data for a specific string (CALL). I am ONLY looking for that string set but unfortunately, there are other words within that block of text that have that string set within it (e.g. CALL_MY_PHONE). Is there any way to make the INSTR search DISTINCT? Below is the code that I am using:
to_number(DECODE(INSTR(ph.block,'CALL'),0,0,1))
I need to search a pattern backwards in a CLOB field.Function DBMS_LOB.instr does not work with '-1' offset (where to start the search) as instr does.
Parameters: instr(text_to_be_searched, pattern, offset, nth)
Example: I want to search 'Hello world' for the first instance of the letter 'o' starting from the end, backwards.As you can see, result for DBMS_LOB.instr is null when entered -1 for offset.
select
DBMS_LOB.instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) lob_i,
instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) std_i
from dual;
Trying to get a number out of an error backtrack
06512: at "SCHEMA.PROCEDURE", line 4
I only need to take the 4 out of this message. Of course the number might be anything from 1 to 10000.
The database languages might differ so I can't do this using
v_line_no:=SUBSTR(v_line_no,INSTR(v_line_no,'line')+5)
As it would not find any 'line' inside the string.
i have a table with a clob column and i have 150 records i want retrieve distinct values from the clob using distinct operator on clob will not work
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using apex 4.1. I must hide phone number columns in my IR report, but at the same time the values of that columns should be available to search for using IR Search Field. is there a way to do this ?
if not, that means I have to :
1- Add a text filed P1_PHONE
2- edit my report query to something similar to
> Select * from Table where :P1_phone in (mobile1,mobile2) or :p1_phone is null
3- add button to refresh the report.
but the item P1_PHONE should be on the header of the Report region. is there a way to do this.
I am using theme 23

I have a requirement where the user input values will be passed as comma separated string to backend, which is queried against the table using instr. But the index present on the table is not using the index , due to the instr function.How can I create a index in such a way that The instr function uses it.

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 have a query in this way

I have a table with two columns, like:
123 xxx

And in the output I would like to have:
123 xxx

I tried with distinct and unique on the second column, but it doesn't work.
I need to select multiple columns but only have 2 of them which are distinct. For instance if i have
userid lastname firstname city country time
1 jones tom lon gb 2:25
2 wall paul la usa 2:30
1 jones tom lon gb 2:50
3 smith jane ny usa 2:55
what i would want to do is select all the columns but avoid duplicate lastname-firstname combination rows. The problem is if i use a group by i have to include all the columns and because time is different i will get tom jones twice. a way of getting round this so i can select all the columns but only 1 row of tom jones.

The above Query is not working with Distinct & Order By clause are present and by joining two tables. I need the distinct values of levels in Descending order of Terms.
The table creation and Data insertion script is attached with the message.Basically I want to sort all the data based on the order by clause and then remove duplicates from the TSKID column and get distinct TSKIDs in the same order.I have below query to sort data:
SELECT *
FROM piwingetworkitems_vd
ORDER BY profilepriority,
authdptpriority,
returnpriority ASC,
priority DESC,
effdate,
tskid
But when I add a DISTINCT to the query, it does some kind of random sort and doesn't return the data as per above ORDER BY query and ignoring the SORT order.
SELECT DISTINCT tskid
FROM (SELECT *
FROM piwingetworkitems_vd
ORDER BY profilepriority,
authdptpriority,
returnpriority ASC,
priority DESC,
effdate,
tskid)
Is there any way to select the DISTINCT taskids ordered as per requirements?

Following on from this answered thread: (xmlagg(xmlelement) - Distinct Values Required..Whereby the last poster recommended the use of
RTRIM (
XMLAGG (
XMLELEMENT (
E,
XMLATTRIBUTES (segment1|| ',' AS "Seg")
)
ORDER BY segment1 ASC
).EXTRACT ('./E[not(@Seg = preceding-sibling::E/@Seg)]/@Seg'),
','
)
To get a distinct list of elements. Works great, but I actually need to use the concept of "distinct immediately preceding".
Sample data:
create table xml_test
(emp_number number, seq number)
insert into xml_test values ('12345',1);
insert into xml_test values ('23456',2);
insert into xml_test values ('44323',3);
insert into xml_test values ('12345',4);

I've read so many different pages on this topic but I can't seem to get my query the way it needs to be. Here's the query:
select admitnbr, lastname||', '||firstname||' '||finitial, hphone, mobile, wphone, med_rec, dob
from patients join schedule using (key_patien)
join adtmirro using (key_patien)
where appt_state = 'ON HOLD'
Because patients in my database can have multiple appointments "on hold" there are duplicates in the results. I only need 1 record per patient in order to forward this information into an automated dialer to contact that patient. I do NOT want to call the patient over and over again. Once will suffice. I'm trying to make a distinction on the column 'med_rec'. One row per 'med_rec' will be awesome but I can't find a way to create a distinct on that column.

I have a collection of objects built in a PL/SQL program.
I want to keep only the distinct elements of this collection for the rest of the program.
I failed to find the correct way to do it
For instance (the actual object is far more complex containing object attributes itself), with the following types:
drop type t1b
/
drop type t1a
/
create or replace type t1a as object (
v1 integer,
v2 integer
)
/
create or replace type t1b as table of t1a
/
I have the following variable:
v t1b := t1b(t1a(1,2),t1a(1,2));
And I want to get only one "t1a(1,2)" in my collection.
My first idea (actually the second one but it does not matter) was to use DISTINCT:
SQL> declare
2 v t1b := t1b(t1a(1,2),t1a(1,2));
3 begin
4 select distinct t1a(v1,v2) bulk collect into v from table(v);
5 dbms_output.put_line(v.count);
6 end;
7 /
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22950: cannot ORDER objects without MAP or ORDER method ORA-06512: at line 4
As I said the object is far more complex and builting a MAP function is quite tedious (but I will do it if there is no other way).
The next idea was to use multiset operators:
SQL> declare
2 v t1b := t1b(t1a(1,2),t1a(1,2));
3 begin
4 select v multiset intersect distinct v into v from dual;
5 dbms_output.put_line(v.count);
6 end;
