Breaking the string into different columns

Hi Guys,
I need to break the following string into different columns
'XXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007.'
I am trying to write it using instr and substr , but having some issues .
Is there any other way to do this. If not can someone help me , below is the query that i am working on
SELECT SUBSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007', 1, INSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007', '.', 1) - 1) col1,
SUBSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007',
INSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007', '.', 1) + 1,
INSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007', '.', 1, 2)
- INSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007', '.', 1)
- 1
) col2,
SUBSTR ('XXXXXX.0001.09011.0001.00002.03.0004.0005.0006.00007',

It doesn't look urgent, you could simply read the manuals for instr and substr or describe any issues or errors you are having, or post sample data so people could help you more easily, or format your code so it is more readable, but you don't bother to do any of those things so if it isn't important to you to extend any effort, why would it be important to us?
If it was really urgent it would be a violation of the conditions of use of these forums.

Parse string into different column and optimization

We are in process of building an audit process for any changes that occur automatically or manually by the user on some of the table data. To do this we have two options:
1. Have master table to store the audit event summary and a detail table to store each column change with old and new values. Something like:
CREATE TABLE TEST_ADT_DTL
EVNT_ID      NUMBER,
COL_NAME     VARCHAR2(1000),
OLD_COL_VAL     VARCHAR2(1000),
NEW_COL_VAL     VARCHAR2(1000)
);but this approach has some processing overhead since for the changes to each record there will be multiple records based on number of columns updated. If we are loading 40K transaction twice a month, and the changes are almost 30-40% so the detail table will grow considerably.
2. To have the detail table with one column that will have a concatenated string of changes with field name, old and new values.
CREATE TABLE TEST_ADT_EVNT
EVNT_ID        NUMBER,
TBL_NAME       VARCHAR2(100),
OPER_CD        VARCHAR2(1),
USR_ID         VARCHAR2(10),
ACT_DT         DATE,
PK_STRNG_VAL   VARCHAR2(100),
CMNT_TXT       VARCHAR2(1000)
CREATE TABLE TEST_ADT_DTL
EVNT_ID      NUMBER,
ADT_LOG     VARCHAR2(1000)
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_EVNT VALUES (1, 'CUSTOMER', 'A', 'ABC', SYSDATE, 'CUS0001', 'SOME COMMENT');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_EVNT VALUES (2, 'CUSTOMER', 'U', 'ABC', SYSDATE, 'CUS0001', 'SOME COMMENT');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_EVNT VALUES (3, 'ORDER', 'A', 'XYZ', SYSDATE, 'CUS0002', 'SOME COMMENT');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_EVNT VALUES (4, 'ORDER', 'U', 'EFG', SYSDATE, 'CUS0002', 'SOME COMMENT');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_EVNT VALUES (5, 'ORDER', 'U', 'XYZ', SYSDATE, 'CUS0002', 'SOME COMMENT');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_DTL VALUES (2, 'FIELD:CITY,OLD:AVENEL,NEW:EDISON;FIELD:ZIP,OLD:07001,NEW:07056;');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_DTL VALUES (4, 'FIELD:ADDRESS,OLD:234 ROGER ST,NEW:124 WEST FIELD AVE;FIELD:STATE,OLD:NJ,NEW:NY;FIELD:PHONE,OLD:,NEW:2012230912;');
INSERT INTO TEST_ADT_DTL VALUES (5, 'FIELD:MID_NAME,OLD:,NEW:JASON;FIELD:ADDRESS,OLD:,NEW:3 COURT CT;');
COMMIT;I want to know if we want to generate a report for audit log, how can I display the data from detail table in columns. I mean how to parse the ADT_LOG column to show the data in three different columns like:
FIELD     OLD         NEW
CITY     AVENEL    EDISON
ZIP       07001      07056
.along with the columns from EVNT table.
And, want to know which approach would be better.

hey I think I finally got it using the model clause.
not sure if this will be faster or not.
you can increase the number of iterations if you are not hitting them all,
( the lower your iteration number the faster this will run)
select adt_log, field, old, new from
with TEST_ADT_DTL as
(select 2 evnt_id, 'FIELD:CITY,OLD:AVENEL,NEW:EDISON;FIELD:ZIP,OLD:07001,NEW:07056;' ADT_LOG FROM DUAL UNION
select 4, 'FIELD:ADDRESS,OLD:234 ROGER ST,NEW:124 WEST FIELD AVE;FIELD:STATE,OLD:NJ,NEW:NY;FIELD:PHONE,OLD:,NEW:2012230912;' from dual union
select 5, 'FIELD:MID_NAME,OLD:,NEW:JASON;FIELD:ADDRESS,OLD:,NEW:3 COURT CT;' from dual
select evnt_id, adt_log, field, old, new from test_adt_dtl

How to parse a delimited string and insert into different columns?

Hi Experts,
I need to parse a delimited string ':level1_value:level2_value:level3_value:...' to 'level1_value', 'level2_value', etc., and insert them into different columns of one table as one row:
Table_Level (Level1, Level2, Level3, ...)
I know I can use substr and instr to get level value one by one and insert into Table, but I'm wondering if there's better ways to do it?
Thanks!

However, there is one tiny problem - the delimiter from the source system is a '|' When I replace your test query with | as delimiter instead of the : it fails. Interestingly, if I use ; it works. See below:

from t;
The "bar" or "pipe" symbol is a special character, also called a metacharacter.
If you want to use it as a literal in a regular expression, you will need to escape it with a backslash character (\).
Here's the solution -

test@ORA11G> --
test@ORA11G> with t as (
2    select 'str1|str2|str3||str5|str6' x from dual union all

5    select 'str1|str2|||str5|str6' from dual)

PS - it works for semi-colon character ";" because it is not a metacharacter. So its literal value is considered by the regex engine for matching.

Breaking up the weblogs into different categories

It will be really nice to break up the weblogs into different categories based on technical areas(kind of like forum but not that many categories). There could be one category where all the general discussion weblog could be posted. I think this will generate more traffic towards weblogs. Right now lot of the technical weblogs are getting lost among the general content. Just a suggestion. Love to hear back from SDN members.

Hi Sing,
Once in a while this request comes up and I have the same reaction as Craig has. It's there, just select Topics and every one of them has it's own page.
For example here is the EP page:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/weblogs/topic/22
Your latest Weblog still on top although there were many other posts on the most recent weblogs page.
It makes me think how we could better make it available to people. The weblogs as well as the link on the main EP page is directly to this page.
Not sure what else can be done, besides a Weblog pointing it out again.
Best, Mark.

Drop the files into different directories based on the filename

Hi,
I had a reqiuirement based on the file name, i should drop the files in to different directories.
I can get the filename through variable substitution in receiver file communication channel, now i want to drop the file into different folders based on conditions.
suppose, if the file name is DDDX234
i should do substring of filename0+(4), if the value is L then i should drop in X directory
suppose, if the file name is DDDY234
i should do substring of filename0+(4), if the value is L then i should drop in Y directory.
How can i drop the file into differnent directories based on filename.
Thanks
Srinivas

Thanks Michal,
I mapped the directory and filename to the target header in the mapping
Filename --> UDF --> Header(target)
and in the receiver channel checked the ASMA and given * in the filename and directory name.
But in runtime iam getting the error as
Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: The Adapter Message Property 'FileName' was configured as mandatory element, but there is no 'DynamicConfiguration' element in the XI Message header
MY UDF is
public String Directory(String a,Container container){
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String FileName = conf.get(key);
FileName = a;
conf.put(key, FileName);
%%%based on filename the directory should change
String Directory = conf.get(key1);
Directory = "/SAPInterface/XI/PPD/DHX/out";
conf.put(key1, Directory);
return "";
Help me in correcting this error.
Thanks

How to Store Encrypted String into OracleDatabase Column(vacrchar2)

Hi..
I encountered an error while inserting a Encryted String into oracle column.. Error "Quoted String Doesn't terminated properly"
But i wrote Query string correctly and using Datatypes as String and vacharchar2(2000) in java and oracle respectively..
what i need to do?

Hi,
if your code compose the sql programmatically without bind variables i.e.:
String sqlInsert="insert into table A(encrypted_column) values ('" + encryptedValue+ ')");
then if the string encryptedValue contains a ' character you end up with a wrong sql statement
if you encryped values is something like AAABB#??£££'AAA the corresponding sql is
insert into table A(encrypted_column) values ('AAABB#??£££'AAA')
which is not correct becaus of the ' in the middle of the string.

How to insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'

Can anyone please tell me how can I insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'?
I get the error, ORA-01704: string literal too long when I try to insert the value into the table.
Since it is an old database, I cannot change the datatype of the column. And I see that the this column already contains strings which are very long.
I know this can be done using bind variables but dont know how to use it in a simple query.
Also is there any other way to do it?

Splitting one column into different columns.

Hello Experts,
How do i split datetime column into different columns while doing a Select statement.
Ex:
The column "REC_CRT_TS" has data like "2014-05-08 08:23:09.0000000".The datatype of this column is "DateTime". And i want it in SELECT statement like;
SELECT
YEAR(DATETIME) YEAR,
MONTH(DATETIME) MONTH,
DATENAME(DATETIME) MONTHNAME,
DATEPART(DATETIME) WEEKNUM,
DAY(DATETIME) DATE,
DATEPART(DATETIME) HOUR
FROM TABLE_NAME;
The output should look like this;
--YEAR| MONTH | MONTHNAME| WEEKNUM | DATE | HOUR
--2014| 5 | May | 25 | 08 |08
Any suggestions please.
Thanks!
Rahman

I made a very quick research and I see in this blog post
http://www.jamesserra.com/archive/2011/08/microsoft-sql-server-parallel-data-warehouse-pdw-explained/
that It also uses its own query engine and not all features of SQL
Server are supported. So, you might not be able to use all your DBA tricks. And you wouldn’t want to build a solution against SQL Server and then just hope to upsize it to Parallel Data Warehouse Edition.
So, it is quite possible that this function doesn't exist in PDW version of SQL
Server. In this case you may want to implement case based month name or do it in the client application.

Loading UTF-8 String into CLOB column

Hello!
I am trying to load UTF-8 encoded strings into a CLOB column in an Oracle 9i database from VB.Net using ODP.Net (9.2.0.414).
The strings are XML snippets (Microsoft WordML to be precise). Each corresponds to a record which already exists in the database, therefore I do an update to add the UTF-8 string.
Some of the XML snippets contain characters which once inserted look like upside down question marks (characters represented by 0x92 and 0x96 for example end up as 0xBF once in the database).
Setting breakpoints in Visual Studio, I can watch the string values in the 'Locals' window and they appear correct (in fact I can copy from the 'Locals' window and using a tool such as TOAD can paste the strings into the database successfully). Pasting through TOAD, the characters are properly represented in the database (ie 0x92 is 0x92).
I've tried a number of approaches with no luck.
Any advice/suggestion are most welcome. Thanks!
Here is my code:
strConnectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Item("ConnectionString")
strComponentsTable = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Item("ComponentsTable")
objConnection = New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
objCommand = objConnection.CreateCommand()
objCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
objCommand.CommandText = "UPDATE " & strComponentsTable & " SET TEMPLATE_COMPONENT_CONTENT = :p_content WHERE TEMPLATE_COMPONENT_ID = :p_id"
objConnection.Open()
For Each strId In objComponents.Keys
strContent = objComponents.Item(strId)
objCommand.Parameters.Clear()
objParameter = objCommand.CreateParameter()
objParameter.ParameterName = "p_content"
objParameter.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Clob
objParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
objParameter.Value = strContent
objCommand.Parameters.Add(objParameter)
objParameter = objCommand.CreateParameter()
objParameter.ParameterName = "p_id"
objParameter.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Int32
objParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
objParameter.Value = CInt(strId)
objCommand.Parameters.Add(objParameter)
intResult = objCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Next

Some further research has revealed the following:
Two of the characters I provided as examples of not being stored properly in the database are (in Unicode) U+2013 and U=2019. These characters, encoded as UTF-8 should each be three bytes (0xE2 80 93 and 0xE2 80 99 respectively). Sent via VB.Net and ODP.Net they both end up in the database as one byte each (0xBF). Copy and Pasted via TOAD they end up as one byte each (0x92 and 0x96 respectively).
The NLS settings on the server side are:
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
I have tried using both CLOB and NCLOB column with the results being identical.
Not sure what else to try...

How to display rows of data into different columns?

I'm new to SQL and currently this is what I'm trying to do:
Display multiple rows of data into different columns within the same row
I have a table like this:
    CREATE TABLE TRIPLEG(
        T#              NUMBER(10)      NOT NULL,
        LEG#            NUMBER(2)       NOT NULL,
        DEPARTURE       VARCHAR(30)     NOT NULL,
        DESTINATION     VARCHAR(30)     NOT NULL,
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_PKEY PRIMARY KEY (T#, LEG#),
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_UNIQUE UNIQUE(T#, DEPARTURE, DESTINATION),
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_FKEY1 FOREIGN KEY (T#) REFERENCES TRIP(T#) );
    INSERT INTO TRIPLEG VALUES( 1, 1, 'Sydney', 'Melbourne');
    INSERT INTO TRIPLEG VALUES( 1, 2, 'Melbourne', 'Adelaide');
The result should be something like this:
> T# | ORIGIN | DESTINATION1 | DESTINATION2
> 1   | SYDNEY | MELBORUNE     | ADELAIDE
The query should include the `COUNT(T#) < 3` since I only need to display the records less than 3. How can I achieve the results that I want using relational views???
Thanks!!!

On 11gr2, you may use this :
SELECT t#,
         REGEXP_REPLACE (
            LISTAGG (departure || '->' || destination, ' ')
               WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY t#, leg#),
            '([^ ]+) \1+',
            '\1')
    FROM tripleg
    where leg#<=3
GROUP BY t#;
Output:
1 Sydney->Melbourne->Adelaide->India
2 India->UAE->Germany->USA

Changing rows into different column names

Hi,
i need to tranpose the rows into differnent column names
my sample data :
id , val
1 3
1 4
1 5
into
id , val1, val2 , val3 , val4 ... valn ..
1 3 4 5
from askTom's i see that it's tranpose into a single column using the ref cursor ?
how can i do made it into different column names ?
kindly advise
tks & rdgs

For example, lets say that you want to order your columns from least value to greatest and that you'll never have more than three values per id. Then you can use the analytic function row_number() like this to create a pivot value.
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table;And so your pivot query ends up looking like this.
select id,
       max(case when rn=1 then val end) AS val1,
       max(case when rn=2 then val end) AS val2,
       max(case when rn=3 then val end) AS val3
from (
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table
group by id;But notice that I started out by making up answers to Justin's questions. You'll have to supply the real answers.

I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns

I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns - the first containing the name, the second containing the email address and the third containing the 'yes' or 'no'.
Can you help me ?

The question that needs to be answered is what is separating the columns? Is it a single tab, one or more tabs, spaces, or what? Or is it the brackets that makes the separation between the three pieces of data?
If it is always a single tab, that makes it really easy. All you have to do is find/replace the brackets with nothing (as Wayne said)
If it might be multiple tabs, you can find/replace tab-tab with a single tab and repeat that a few times until no more double-tabs are found.
If it is one or multiple spaces, that might be difficult. I'll think about this one if this is what you have. I'll ignore this possiblility for now.
If it is the brackets separating the three pieces of data, you would Find/Replace the left bracket with a tab then do the same with the right bracket.

FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.

Can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how

Hai
can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how ?

Hi,
Create the transformation for each target and connect through DTP if you are in BI 7.0
If it is BW 3.5 create transfer rules and load it Info source and then different update rules for different targets then load it using IP.
If you are speaking about loading data from R3 data source to multiple data sources in BI
Then follow the below step.
1)create init IP's and run the IP's with different selection to different DSO(With same selection it is not possible).
2)Then you will have different delta queues for the same data source in RSA7
3)Your delta loads will run fine to different data sources from same DS in R3.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Venkatesh
