Applying "TRANSLATE" function on a large Text. String Operations on a CLOB

Hi All,
Here is the SQL query that I am using....
SELECT TRANSLATE([TEXT], '{}*:/=-', ' ') as TEXT2 FROM DUAL;
Where [TEXT] value comes a different program. We wrote the above query thinking TEXT would be always less than 4000 characters. But it is exceeding 4000 characters and results in following error
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
Could you help me in fixing this?
-S

I ran the following SQL and it says
ORA-01704: string literal too long
01704. 00000 - "string literal too long"
*Cause:    The string literal is longer than 4000 characters.
*Action:   Use a string literal of at most 4000 characters.
Longer values may only be entered using bind variables.

  • Using translate function for one to many character translation

    Hi friends!
    Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to use built in translate function for converting some text from a one alphabet to another one, if these alphabets are of different length. Something like
    SELECT TRANSLATE('текст',
    'АБВГДЕЕЖЗИКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЭЮЯ',
    'ABCGDEF"*GH*"HIJKLMNOPQRSTYVWXYZ') FROM dual;
    Or there is another function for this, or it is impossible?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Maybe you could use REPLACE just once, and then TRANSLATE the rest?
    Something like:
    SELECT TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABcDE', 'c', 'xz'),
                     'ABCDE',
                     'abcde')  from dual;
    TRANSLATE(REPLACE('ABCDE','C','XZ'),'ABCDE','ABCDE')
    abxzde                                             
    1 row selected.Regards

  • Apply Oracle Functions to Individual numeric characters in a string

    I'm trying to apply MOD function and some arithmetic to each and every numeric character with-in a string. Maximum length of the string is 30 characters, and its variable length. When I try the traditional for loop, my execution time increases drastically. Here are some details:
    If my string is: abc1234X-23J, I need to keep the alphabets and special characters as is, multiply each numeric by 5 add 3, apply a MOD of 10. I've done this in a function like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Test1(i_Text IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    V_Output VARCHAR2(30) := '';
    BEGIN
    FOR I IN 1 .. LENGTH(i_Text) LOOP
    IF SUBSTR(i_Text, I, 1) IN ('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9') THEN
    V_Output := V_Output || TO_CHAR(MOD((TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(i_Text, I, 1)) * 5) + 3, 10));
    ELSE
    V_Output := V_Output ||SUBSTR(i_Text, I, 1);
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN V_Output;
    EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS
    RETURN NULL;
    END;
    I need to apply this function to approximately. 4 columns, data volume is huge. I tried with 2.5 M records, in INSERT ... SELECT option, it takes 17 seconds without this function and around 6 minutes when I use this function. This is just a sample data, I would like this task to be completed with-in 30 seconds. Is there any way I can change my function or use any other option to get better performance?
    Note: I tried REGEXP_REPLACE - this didnt help me, increased my execution time - I had to use native dynamic sql in this case
    Tried with decode - this also didnt help.
    Any expert advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

    Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

    Lanny -
    Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
    I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
    The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
    Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

  • Searching with large text

    Greetings,
    We are evaluating Oracle 10g specifically for its Oracle Text functionality and are having a difficult time trying to figure out how to use large text for searching.
    Specifically, we have a table containing large, full-text descriptions that we wish to find using smaller abstracts. Our full-text may be anywhere from ten thousand to a hundred thousand characters in length. Our abstracts tend to be much smaller; in the five hundred character range.
    We wish to use these smaller, five hundred character abstracts to locate documents that may be related based solely upon common keywords. We will eventually get into concept matching, but for now we simply wish to find document matches based upon keywords. This query is quite similar to ORing every term in the abstract and performing a CONTAINS query, but should hopefully be less clunky.
    SQL Server allows us to do this quite simply by performing a freetext search. We plug our abstract into the search algorithm and receive a listing of documents that it deemed to be similar.
    Does Oracle Text provide a similar functionality and, if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks,
    Kirk

    We are currently using a tool mandated by our client to cluster documents and perform concept (theme) based searching. This tool does not, however, perform keyword searching. We are looking to supplement its results with keyword search results from, say, Oracle Text or SQL Server (or Google or any of 100 other keyword search capable tools on the market).
    We already have a working prototype that uses SQL Server. Using fulltext keyword matching, it accepts an abstract and returns to us all of the documents that mostly closely match. We would like to also perform this test in Oracle Text, however, we are unable to figure out how to make Oracle accept a large text for searching without significant reformatting.
    For example, say my text is "Four score and seven years ago". In SQL Server, I am able to pass this in, as is, and it will return to me the Gettysburg Address as its highest ranking match.
    With Oracle Text, I was able to produce similar results, but I had to reformat the query string to "$Four$|score$|and$|seven$|years$|ago". I am looking for a way to pass in "Four score and seven years ago" without having to perform any gyrations on the text.
    Thanks,
    Kirk

  • Arbitrary waveform generation from large text file

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use a PXI 6733 card hooked up to a BNC 2110 in a PXI 1031-DC chassis to output arbitrary waveforms at a sample rate of 100kS/s.  The types of waveforms I want to generate are generally going to be sine waves of frequencies less than 10 kHz, but they need to be very high quality signals, hence the high sample rate.  Eventually, we would like to go up to as high as 200 kS/s, but for right now we just want to get it to work at the lower rate. 
    Someone in the department has already created for me large text files > 1GB  with (9) columns of numbers representing the output voltages for the channels(there will be 6 channels outputting sine waves, 3 other channels with a periodic DC voltage.   The reason for the large file is that we want a continuous signal for around 30 minutes to allow for equipment testing and configuration while the signals are being generated. 
    I'm supposed to use this file to generate the output voltages on the 6733 card, but I keep getting numerous errors and I've been unable to get something that works. The code, as written, currently generates an error code 200290 immediately after the buffered data is output from the card.  Nothing ever seems to get enqued or dequed, and although I've read the Labview help on buffers, I'm still very confused about their operation so I'm not even sure if the buffer is working properly.  I was hoping some of you could look at my code, and give me some suggestions(or sample code too!) for the best way to achieve this goal.
    Thanks a lot,
    Chris(new Labview user)

    Chris:
    For context, I've pasted in the "explain error" output from LabVIEW to refer to while we work on this. More after the code...
    Error -200290 occurred at an unidentified location
    Possible reason(s):
    The generation has stopped to prevent the regeneration of old samples. Your application was unable to write samples to the background buffer fast enough to prevent old samples from being regenerated.
    To avoid this error, you can do any of the following:
    1. Increase the size of the background buffer by configuring the buffer.
    2. Increase the number of samples you write each time you invoke a write operation.
    3. Write samples more often.
    4. Reduce the sample rate.
    5. Change the data transfer mechanism from interrupts to DMA if your device supports DMA.
    6. Reduce the number of applications your computer is executing concurrently.
    In addition, if you do not need to write every sample that is generated, you can configure the regeneration mode to allow regeneration, and then use the Position and Offset attributes to write the desired samples.
    By default, the analog output on the device does what is called regeneration. Basically, if we're outputting a repeating waveform, we can simply fill the buffer once and the DAQ device will reuse the samples, reducing load on the system. What appears to be happening is that the VI can't read samples out from the file fast enough to keep up with the DAQ card. The DAQ card is set to NOT allow regeneration, so once it empties the buffer, it stops the task since there aren't any new samples available yet.
    If we go through the options, we have a few things we can try:
    1. Increase background buffer size.
    I don't think this is the best option. Our issue is with filling the buffer, and this requires more advanced configuration.
    2. Increase the number of samples written.
    This may be a better option. If we increase how many samples we commit to the buffer, we can increase the minimum time between writes in the consumer loop.
    3. Write samples more often.
    This probably isn't as feasible. If anything, you should probably have a short "Wait" function in the consumer loop where the DAQmx write is occurring, just to regulate loop timing and give the CPU some breathing space.
    4. Reduce the sample rate.
    Definitely not a feasible option for your application, so we'll just skip that one.
    5. Use DMA instead of interrupts.
    I'm 99.99999999% sure you're already using DMA, so we'll skip this one also.
    6. Reduce the number of concurrent apps on the PC.
    This is to make sure that the CPU time required to maintain good loop rates isn't being taken by, say, an antivirus scanner or something. Generally, if you don't have anything major running other than LabVIEW, you should be fine.
    I think our best bet is to increase the "Samples to Write" quantity (to increase the minimum loop period), and possibly to delay the DAQmx Start Task and consumer loop until the producer loop has had a chance to build the queue up a little. That should reduce the chance that the DAQmx task will empty the system buffer and ensure that we can prime the queue with a large quantity of samples. The consumer loop will wait for elements to become available in the queue, so I have a feeling that the file read may be what is slowing the program down. Once the queue empties, we'll see the DAQmx error surface again. The only real solution is to load the file to memory farther ahead of time.
    Hope that helps!

  • How to display  LONG TEXT STRING in Module Pool Screen ?

    Hi Experts,
    I want to display long text string, on screen designed through module pool(SE51). I tried to display through input/output field , but it displays it in SINGLE LINE and i have to scroll all through to view all string.
    I want to display it in rectangular format . It doesnt allow me to set HEIGHT of component.
    Please provide solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    This is the program where u can get the WA_THEAD from other program like report and trying to display and modifying that text. U can do instead of WA_THEAD u can generate here itself and use also

  • Cp4 AS3 - using Javascript to generate a text string

    I'm a complete Javascript beginner, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question!
    I need to generate a pseudo random text string. I'm using the unpatched version of Cp4, AS3, Internet Explorer 7
    I've had a look at Captivate.Dev.com and the w3schools site to try to understand how to pass variables & basic javascript, and this is what I've come up with:
    var objCP = document.Captivate;
    function GenerateCode(){
    var rngen = new Array(8);
    var tgits = new Array(8);
    var cdrtn="";
    var lpdx=0;
    var mulier=1;
    for (lpdx=0;lpdx<=5;lpdx++){
    rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
    mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
    tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
    cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    rngen[6]=(mlier%17)%10;
    rngen[7]=(mlier%13)%10;
    for (lpdx=6;lpdx<=7;lpdx++)
    tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
    cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    objCP.cpEISetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
    GenerateCode();
    I've created a user variable called MyJavascriptVariable , put the code above in the On Slide Enter, Execute Javascript window on the first slide, and on the second a simple caption box showing the variable contents.
    However, when I press F12 I get an orange playbar at the top of the window, and in the middle the preloader and the captionbox (without the return value) flickering. i.e. classic sign of wrong AS version.
    If I change to AS2 the movie progresses ok, but the value the caption reports back for MyJavascriptVariable is blank.
    I know my core code works correctly - if I use the w3school's tryit editor with the code after the function declaration up to the closing curly before the objcCP line, with an addeded document.write to show the variable it works fine.
    It's clearly something to do with the way I'm declaring/passing the function or the way Cp runs the javascript. But what?
    Any help greatfully appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi Jon,
    You are right... it works great on the W3Schools site.  Although in Cp, you ran into quite an issue using the modulus operater (%).  Looks like Cp needs the encoded version of this operator which is (%25).  Also, if you're using Cp4, then when you go to set the caption, you want to use objCP.cpSetValue();  Cp5 uses cpEISetValue.  I also try to use single quotes when working with strings.
    Here's the updated code:
    var objCP = document.Captivate;
    function GenerateCode() {
    var rngen = new Array(8);
    var tgits = new Array(8);
    var cdrtn='';
    var lpdx = 0;
    var mulier=1;
        for (lpdx=0; lpdx<=5; lpdx++){
            rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
            mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
            tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
            cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    rngen[6]=(mlier %25 17) %25 10;
    rngen[7]=(mlier %25 13) %25 10;
       for (lpdx=6; lpdx<=7; lpdx++){
            tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
            cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    objCP.cpSetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
    GenerateCode();
    This looks like some really crazy math.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • String operations on internal table text....

    Original table is consists of 2 columns:
    E        
    RFC error(SM_DHTCLNT010_READ): Error when opening connection
    E RFC error(SM_DHLCLNT010_READ): Error when opening connection
    E RFC error(SM_DHKCLNT010_READ): Error when opening connection
    E RFC error(SM_E10CLNT000_READ): 'tdhtci00.emea.gdc:sapgw02' E     No read RFC FOR SM_B72CLNT003_READ
    E     No read RFC FOR SM_B71CLNT003_READ
    S     Clients for system 'E21' found in RFC  'SM_E21CLNT001_READ'
    S     Clients for system 'E22' found in RFC  'SM_E22CLNT001_READ'
    S     Clients for system 'E23' found in RFC  'SM_E22CLNT001_READ'
    Now we need to apply string operations such that result table is 3 columns with new refined message:
    status       sid            
    Message NEW_TEXT
    E     DHT         
    RFC error               Error when opening connectionE     DHL         RFC error                       Error when opening connection

    E     B71        No RFC LINK
    S     E21        DATA READ
    S     E22       DATA READ
    S     E23       DATA READ
    String conditions to arrive at new table is:
    1) to get SID column : the conditions are
    •     If the Status is “RFC Error” then next 3 Characters after the “_” must be extracted as SID
    •     Else the SID is between the first and the second inverted comma ‘
    Example:  Clients for system 'E21' found in RFC  'SM_E21CLNT001_READ'extracts “E21” as SID
    2) for message column
    ·         message “RFC Error” if the message text
    starts with “RFC Error”
    · message “no RFC Link” if the message text starts with “No read RFC*”
    · message “Data Read” if the Substring “found in RFC”</b> was found in the Message      
    3) •     If the Status is “RFC Error” then the whole Textstring behind the “: “ must be Extracted
    For example if message is RFC error(SM_DHLCLNT010_READ): Error when opening connection NEW_TEXT will be Error when opening connection
    Need ur inputs on these.

    Hi,
    this u can acheive simply using offset:
    var_name+off(len). "
    e.g. wa_message-fld+0(3) = first threee characters
    wa_message-fld(3) same as above first three characters
    wa_message-fld+2(2) " will display second and third characte of wa_message-fld
    this u can use to set condtions like :
    if wa_message-fld(9) = 'RFC Error'.
    "process here
    endif.
    Hope this will help u...

  • How To Color a Text string using Regex (java.util.regex)

    Hello,
    How can I color a text string using regex class in 1.4?

    Yes, did you notice it said something about incredibly vague functionality?
    Let me break it down for you
    > How can I color a text string
    Strings do not have color... You can color a component (a label, a button), but you can't color a string
    > using regex class in 1.4?
    Using a regular expression? How would a regular exression color anything? Do you have embedded color codes? Are you searhing a string for some secret word?
    What are you talking about?

  • Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

    I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
    (This is in a Function.)

    Syntax error on command line.
    If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.
    Is there some way to put single quotes/double quotes around ParmIn_Look_For so this will
    look for 'black dog' ??
    Also: If I want to use the option of ignoring white space, is the last parm
    'ix' 'i,x' or what ?

  • Using Translate() function of XSLT ...

    Hi guys
    I have an xml document that i am converting into an html document using XSLT. I need to replace the XML new lines(&#10) with html new lines (<br>) while the xslt transform takes place on my xml document.
    For this I have found the translate function of XSLT but I need to use it on a specific tag and not all the tags in the xml document.
    <ExampleTag>
    1 first line
    2 second line
    3 third line
    </ExampleTag>
    translate(string, replaced_text, replacement_text)
    so I need to get my tags value in the variable string which is:
    1 first line
    2 second line
    3 third line
    and replaced_text: '&#10' and replacement_text: '<br>'
    but the problem is XSLT syntax is so bad that i just cant devote enough time to learn it. Any suggestions for the syntax guys?? an example would be extremely useful.
    cheers :)

    Hey
    after a bit of struggle came up with this:
    <xsl:template match="ExampleTag">
    <xsl:variable name="string" select="."> </xsl:variable>
    translate(string, "&#10", "</br>" )
    <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
    </xsl:template>
    but its not working :(
    any suggestions??

  • How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

    In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

    That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(
