String concatenation help

Thsi got to be easy for most of you but not to this newbie. Can u help? thanks in advance.
have following items in a page, I need to insert each item into a table if item value is not null .
example:
proj1 has value 09-23
proj2 has null value
proj3 has value 09-45
=== my pl/sql====
declare
indx number default 0;
p_value varchar2;
begin
for z in 1..3
loop
p_value := v(proj)||z; /* here is my issue on how to identify the item with correct suffix */
if P_value is not null then
indx := indx +1;
insert into project (seq,proj)
values (indx,p_value);
end if;
commit;
end loop;
end;
Expected table insert data
series proj
1 09-23
2 09-45 Many thanks
Zeng

hi,
temp := 'proj' || z ;
p_value := v(temp); /* here is my issue on how to identify the item with correct suffix */

removed after desc in the last line so now this query will run and throw an error.

Clearly your error is because the string concatenation you are doing with sys_connect_by_path is exceeding the 4000 bytes permitted by SQL.
In that case you need to concatenate your data into a CLOB datatype, for which you'll need a CLOB aggregation function...
create or replace type clobagg_type as object

static function ODCIAggregateInitialize(sctx in out clobagg_type) return number,

member function ODCIAggregateMerge(self in out clobagg_type, ctx2 in clobagg_type) return number
create or replace type body clobagg_type is

    sctx := clobagg_type(null) ;

Unexpected "result of the string concatenation is too long" error

Hello,
I am using Oracle Database 11.2.0.
When querying my database with a common table expression which concatenates VARCHAR2 strings, I receive an ORA-01489 error although I'm doubting that I am concatenating more than 4000 characters.
To be more precise, I have a table entity which basically stores XML elements including their parent element and their sibling position among its siblings. The CREATE statement for this table is listed below.
CREATE TABLE Entity (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
Parent NUMBER(10,0) REFERENCES Entity(ID),
Sibling_Pos NUMBER(2,0) DEFAULT 0
Now, I would like for all elements to be concatenated with their ancestor elements to a structure like this:
"/root_element(sibling_pos)/.../ancestor_element(sibling_pos)/parent_element(sibling_pos)/current_element(sibling_pos)"
(where root_element, ancestor_element, parent_element and current_element are just values from the name column of the entity table)
In order to achieve this, I use a common table expression which concatenates the name and sibling_pos values as shown below:
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) AS (
SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, '/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')' AS path
FROM entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL (
SELECT lvl + 1 AS lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path || '/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2(2)) || ')' AS path
FROM entity_cte, entity e
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
SELECT lvl, id, path
FROM entity_cte e
After inserting certain values, I get the ORA-01489 error, that the result of the string concatenation is too long. The maximum is referred to as being 4000 characters for VARCHAR2 in the oracle documentation and in various websites. Of course, it is clear to me by just using the common table expression like that, I could run into such an error. However, due to the structure of my XML documents, I doubted that the resulting strings would be more than 4000 characters long.
So, I rearranged my query in order to count the characters to be concatenated instead of actually concatenating them. The query is stated below as well, the changes are marked bold:
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) AS (
SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, length('/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')') AS path
FROM entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL (
SELECT lvl + 1 AS lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path + length('/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2(2)) || ')') AS path
FROM entity_cte, entity e
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
SELECT lvl, id, path
FROM entity_cte e
ORDER BY path DESC
The result of the query gives me a maximum length of 319 characters.
To be sure, I also checked the maximum level depth (indicated by the column named lvl in the common table expression), meaning the maximum number of elements in my path (the concatenated string). The result is 18. As I use VARCHAR2(100) for the name column and add 5 charcaters in each level, the maximum number of characters expected for 18 levels would be 1890.
So, now I wonder is the ORA-01489 maybe raised for another reason? Or is there something else I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated. Further suggestions to track down the error are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the hint, BluShadow.
Still, I don't reach that limit of 1000 characters with my actual data (yet). I understand that if my data changes, I might run into that error with the given query. But I don't understand why this error is raised with the given data I have. The longest string in the column "name" is 32 characters long up to now. When I'm adding 5 characters on each level and I only have max 18 levels that should only result in max 2664 bytes.
@odie_63
The database characterset is: AL32UTF8. If I googled correctly, than it just confirms what BluShadow said, that one character is represented by max 4 byte.
Regarding the sample data, the XML document that I am inserting and which causes the error comprises 1058 nodes. That means I have 1058 entries in my entity table. I think it would be no sense posting all of it here, but is there a way that I can attach a text file containing an insert script to this post?
Some sample data from the entity table orderd by the length of the string in the name column are shown below.

Sort a string :: Please help.

Hello Everyone,
I am having this very simple problem of sorting a String. please help.
     static String sortString(String str){
          List list = Arrays.asList(str);
          Collections.sort(list);
          for(int i=0, n=list.size();i<n;i++){
               System.out.println(","+ list.get(i));
The function is supposed to take a String and sort it & print it out. This should be simple. Where am I making mistakes? Please help!!

String.concat() vs + operator in strings concatenations

Whats the difference between String.concat() and + operator in strings concatenation?
I cant find any functional one.
Are there any performance differences?
Thanks

I cant find any functional one.There isn't any for all one can tell from the API docs. More details would be up to the String implementation.
Are there any performance differences?No. Both are bad if repeated a lot, as long as there aren't exclusively compile-time constants involved. Use StringBuilder/StringBuffer instead, in those cases.

Ora-01489: result of string concatenation is too long

Hello Gurus,
i have a typical problem
i am constructing a query in FORM and writing SQLPLUS script into a .SQL file. file will contain final data like below..
set linesize 90
set pagesize 0
set echo off
set verify off
set termout off
set feedback off
set trimspool on
set escape '^'
spool D:\10GAPPServerappln\xxx\TEMPREP\ADA39057.sql;
set linesize 229
select ' IQIS# ,Cust Complaint Short Txt ,CD Short Txt ' from dual;
set linesize 129
select a||','||b||','||c||d from table;
spool off;
exit;
After this By using HOST command i will execute the above .sql script and will write the output to text file.
But problem is when i have clob column in any one of concatenated columns in query (a or b or c) then i am getting the error "Ora-01489: result of string concatenation is too long".
pls suggest me how to overcome this problem..

The original message here was posted almost a month ago. The response by ForteSupport clearly confirms the existence of the problem, and I have written my own tests. Since the time when this problem was acknowledged, Sun has released patches for Forte C++ 6U2, in the same patch line (111685-03 updates 111685-02. 02 introduces the leak) but that patch does not address the problem.
Memory leaks of any type are not acceptable, but this is a nightmare memory leak: it is in library code and it is triggered by a what is a very common operation (string concatenation) in any sort of web or network services product. These are exactly the type of products that cannot tolerate memory leaks, because they have long uptimes.
This memory leak was introduced in a patch that fixed, among other things, the fact that exceptions were not being caught so that any program that threw an exception aborted. While I find it difficult to understand how problems like these could pass any sort of regression testing, this is not a perfect world, and things do go wrong. But what I find absolutely incomprehensible is that it could take a month to release a fix for this. What is the delay?

Running Total String Concatenation

Hello,
For our Project we need to do String Concatenation, if data has to display only in Footer Running Total String Concatenation works great. If I have to display in Reports Header or Group Header Running Total String Concatenation. I can work around by having Sub Report to get the data, but I have to Text Rotation to display data in 270 degree. Since Sub report is an object, I canu2019t do that.
If any one has any better idea let me know.
Thanks in advance

Yes,Thanks a lot My Quesition has been answered. I can rotate the data in Subreports.

Javac string concatenation desugaring

Where in the JDK7 javac source does string concatenation using pluses (e.g., String s = string1 + string2 + int1;) get desugared into an instantiation of a StringBuilder, with subsequent calls to append, ending with a call to toString? (if this is not actually currently done, what is the equivalent, and where in the javac source does it occur?)
Thanks.
FYI: I know that consecutive concatenated literals are combined into a single literal in com.sun.tools.javac.parser.JavacParser.foldStrings(JCTree), but I do not know where the desugaring involving non-literals occurs.
As a side question, does the compiler also combine non-literals whose values are definitely known, e.g.:
int i = 0;
String s = "1";
String t = i + s;
t will always be set to "01", but neither of the two arguments to + are literals.

Okay. Any particular problem you're looking to fix, or just picking this particular area out of general interest?No particular area, just whatever I see. It started out with investigating String/Builder/Buffer inefficiencies, because I noticed them a while ago, but it's grown to anything that I happen to notice.
Add an instance field named currentDeterminantValue of type Object to whatever class represents a variable in javac. Also add a final static byte[] named NONDETERMINANT. If an assignment is to something that is known at compile time (e.g., a literal, a final variable (i.e. a constant), a determinant return of a final, private, or static method, etc.), then set currentDeterminantValue = <object or boxed primitive>. If the assignment is to something that is unknown at compile time, set currentDeterminantValue = NONDETERMINANT. Also add a method named isCurrentlyDeterminant() to the aforementioned class that performs {return currentDeterminantValue != NONDETERMINANT}. Whenever isCurrentlyDeterminant() is true, perform appropriate optimizations. A similar mechanism can be used for private, static, or final methods, as long as you cannot use reflection or some other weird mechanism to change their behavior. e.g., if the whole body of a final method is {return "ABC";}, then the currentDeterminantValue of the instance that represents that method in javac can be set to "ABC".I forgot to mention that NONDETERMINANT = new byte[] {}; It should also be private. Nothing special about byte[]. It could be an int[], an Object, etc, just an object that will never be used in a real call. An empty array should be the most memory-efficient way to create such a sentinel.
Not really following that, but it sounds like this applies specifically to member variables, not locals. I don't think what you're suggesting can work for members. To recap your previous example:This would not apply to member or static variables, unless the assignment and use are in the same synchronized block, and all assignments to the variable are synchronized on the same object, and you can somehow disable or ignore the nefarious combination of java.lang.reflect.Class getDeclaredField and Field methods setAccessible and set, and any other similar sneaky tricks if they exist (using those three methods, you can even mutate “immutable” Strings). This would obviously be more difficult to detect than the case of local variables, but member / static variable determinacy determination could be implemented as a later improvement.
String x = "1";
int y = 2
String z = x + y;If x, y, and z are member variables, then between the first and second or between the second and third assignment, another thread can modify x or y, so there's no way that the compiler can know that z will be "12", unless x and y are compile-time constants, and in that case, it already sets z to "12" at compile time.In my example that you've quoted above, the variables are all local.
There are many complex additional optimizations that javac could perform, but they are probably more easily and comprehensively performed by the jvm given that it knows what other classes have been loaded and their bytecode.

PHP string concatenation

String concatenation is the string manipulation method when you join 2 or more strings together.
In PHP it is a quite easy task. You can use the concatenation operator which is the u2018.u2019 (dot). You can join 2 or more strings into one as follows:
$str1 = 'This';
$str2 = 'is a';
$str3 = 'string';
$full = $str1.' '.$str2.' '.$str3;
echo $full; // This is a string
Besides this you can use the operator to append a string to an existing one like this:
$str = 'Main string';
$str .= ' plus another string';
echo $str; // Main string plus another string
If you concatenate a string with a number, the number will (automatically) be converted into a string value, so the output will be u201Cstringu201D:
$num = 100;
$str = $num.' is a number';
echo $str; // 100 is a number

Hi skyvia and Circuitbomb welcome to the php forum.
Thanks for enlightening us with your summary of concatenation which is the most basic function in php and to be honest who care which is faster. If you really care find Sarah Golemon's blog and find the entry on what is happening deep inside php in concatenation. Having said that there are far easier ways to slow down php that do concatenation incorrectly.
You could read from a database for example. That is bound to be an order of magnitude slower than concatenating strings.
PHP is fun for a lot of reasons.
I hope you guys both enjoy SAP and PHP in good measure and contribute the interesting things that you are learning on the forums.
Cheers,
Nigel

PL?SQL block for string concatenation

Hi,
I have written the following procedure for concatenating the strings from different tables. This is working fine if I run this is SQL commands. But If I put the same in HTMLDB report region, I am getting error "Query cannot be parsed within the Builder.

I'm doing something similar to what you want to accomplish.
First, I created a view that joins the master and detail tables together. The view uses the STRAGG function ahead of time to concatenate multiple details into one "column" (or field).
Next, in my report region, the SQL query lloks like :
SELECT   dep_id, dev_st, oper_tp, sig, NAME,
         commod, commod_group,
         MIN (usgs_num) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY mt_rec ASC) usgs_num,
         MIN (model_name) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY mt_rec ASC) model_name,
         MIN (country) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY l_line ASC) country,
         MIN (state_prov) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY l_line ASC) state_prov,
         MIN (county) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY l_line ASC) county,
         MIN (lat_dec) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY g_line ASC) lat_dec,
         MIN (lon_dec) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY g_line ASC) lon_dec,
         mas_id, mrds_id
FROM     NEW_MASTER_QUERY1
WHERE    dep_id IN
    (SELECT dep_id
     FROM search_table where &P3_WHERE_CLAUSE. )
&P3_SEARCH_AREA.
GROUP BY dep_id, dev_st, oper_tp, sig, NAME, commod, commod_group, mas_id, mrds_idEach of the lines above with the MIN() function are "fields" which come from different child tables. My view is getting data from 6 tables, and I only display the data in one line.
Hope this helps some.

Efficient string concatenation

Hi,
In my function module, I have to return many values as just one value - a comma seperated string. Performance is important as there could potentially be more than one hundred thousand values being concatenated.
As the values themselves may have commas in them, I need to escape such commas by a "\" character. I then would also need to escape a "\" character by another "\" character. Standard escape mechanism. Nothing special.
I have listed here are some possible options. Although my pseudo code does not show it, I am looping over the data values. mySingleValue holds the current value.
I am inclined towards option 3 being the best in terms of performance. However, I would appreciate your feedback or any newer suggestions that you may have.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Pradeep
Option 1:
data: myReturnValue type string.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '' IN mySingleValue BY '\'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF ',' IN mySingleValue BY ','.
CONCATENATE myReturnValue mySingleValue INTO myReturnValue SEPARATED BY ','
Option 2:
data: myReturnValue type string.
data: myReturnValueLen type i.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '' IN mySingleValue BY '\'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF ',' IN mySingleValue BY ','.
WRITE ',' TO myReturnValue+myReturnValueLen.
myReturnValueLen = myReturnValueLen + 1.
WRITE mySingleValue TO myReturnValue.
myReturnValueLen = myReturnValueLen + STRLEN( mySingleValue ).
OPTION 3:
data: myReturnValue type string.
data: myReturnValueLen type i.
data: ch TYPE char1.
WRITE ',' TO myReturnValue+myReturnValueLen.
myReturnValueLen = myReturnValueLen + 1.
len = STRLEN( mySingleValue ).
DO len TIMES
ch = mySingleValue(sy-index).
if ch EQ '' OR ch EQ ','.
WRITE ',' TO myReturnValue+myReturnValueLen.
myReturnValueLen = myReturnValueLen + 1.
ENDIF.
WRITE ch TO myReturnValue+myReturnValueLen.
myReturnValueLen = myReturnValueLen + 1.
ENDDO.

Arraylist and string split help

i want to add items from a textfile into an array list here is the txt file
Title,Artist
tester,test
rest,test
red, blue
here is the code i am using
try{
FileReader fr = new FileReader(fileName);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String s;
int c = 0;
while((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
c=c+1;
CD c3 = new CD("");
String tokens[] = s.split(",");
        for(String token : tokens) {
      System.out.println(c);
       System.out.println(tokens.toString());
          if ( c == 2){
            c3.setTitle(token);
                System.out.println(c);
                 System.out.println(token);
         c = c+1;
              if ( c == 3 ){
                c3.setArtist(token);
                discsArray.add(c3);
                  System.out.println(token);
                c = 1;
          System.out.println(token); }}
fr.close();
}catch (Exception e){
      System.out.println("exception occurrred");
}here is the output of the array
title: tester artist: tester title: rest artist: tester title: red artist: red
as you can see it misses the last line of the textfile and also doesnt display all of the separated string;
thanks any help is appreciated

thanks for ur help but that wasnt the problem
i have fixed it however when its read all the lines
an exception is always thrown
everything works just crashes at the end
any ideas
try{
FileReader fr = new FileReader(fileName);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String s;
int c = 0;
while((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
c=c+1;
CD c3 = new CD("");
String tokens[] = s.split(",");
        for(String token : tokens) {
          if ( c == 2){
            c3.setTitle(token);
                  c = c+1;
          if ( c == 3 ){
                c3.setArtist(token);
       if ( c == 3 ){
                discsArray.add(c3);
                c = 1;

Problem reading a string:Plz help

hi gurus
I am reading some files (in a loop written by some other program). I am reading them line by line and I tokenize each line by space using split function.
split(" ");
In resultant string array, somewhere I found NULL or nothing , for example, I print all tokens and it prints like this
?penguins/nns? // I print ?on both sides to check any spaces
?march/nnp?
?? // now here is problem.. both ? combined..nothing between them
I have checked the file.. this problem occurs where there are multiple spaces between tokens of a line...if I remove others and keep one space it works..
Now I want to implement a check in program i.e. where there is SPACE or NULL, I should not process it but It does not work
Please help
Edited by: kimskams on Sep 30, 2008 4:51 AM

Thanks a Lot Sir
There is another problem that I am facing now..
I am using this statement
while ( (rec=dis.readLine() ) != null )to read a line from a file. What I have observed is that if there is a gap between two line then it stops executing file there and even does not go for further files..
Can you identify the problem or better solution
thanks
