Comma delimeted string in IN clause of PL/SQL block

Hi,
I am using string having comma separted string in IN clause of PL/SQL block.
But it does not give me right result.
If i m using sql query then give me result.
I m using oracl 10g and following code. DEPT table having 'miller' and 'cleark' ename rows.
Can you please suggest the other way to get proper result.
declare
cnt number:=0;
strin varchar2(40);
begin
strin:='miller,cleark';
select count(*)
into cnt
from dept
where ename in (strin);
dbms_output.put_line('cnt:-'||cnt);
end;Thanks.

Apart from the solutions you've already been given, let's be clear...

The IN Clause is expecting multiple arguments to be in the set of data. You are providing it with a single argument... a single string. Just because your string has got commas in it does not make that string into multiple arguments.

Splitting of comma delimited string CONNECT BY Clause

Hi ,
I have got a problem in splitting a comma separated strings into rows .
I am explaining the use case below :
i have a table x_imp
--> create table x_imp (id number, int_status varchar2(100),c_ref varchar2(30), s_ref varchar2(30));
I inserted values into the table :
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'a1,a2,a3,a4','A','AS');
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'b1,b2,b3,b4','B', 'BS');
insert into x_imp (id, int_status,c_ref,s_ref) values (1,'c1,c2,c3,c4', 'C', null);
insert into x_imp (id, int_status, cust_ref, site_ref) values (1,NULL, 'D', NULL);
I need to split the comma separated int_status into individual rows . That means my expected result is :
. What I need or looking for as expected result:
1, A, AS, a1
1, A, AS, a2
1, A, AS, a3
1, A, AS, a4
1, B, BS, b1
1, B, BS, b2
1, B, BS, b3
1, B, BS, b4
1, C, null, c1
1, C, null, c2
1, C, null, c3
1, C, null, c4
I currently have a solution using Regex . But this solution uses UNIQUE keyword .
The solution i have currently :
select UNIQUE c_ref,s_ref, regexp_substr(int_status,'[^,]+', 1, level) error_code
from x_imp
connect by regexp_substr(int_status, '[^,]+', 1, level) is not null;
I need a better solution . Any pointers ?
Thanks,
Bibin

One way of doing using MODEL clause:
select c_ref, s_ref, res err_code
FROM x_imp
model
partition by ( id, c_ref, s_ref)
dimension by ( 1 rn)
measures( int_status, cast(null as varchar2(100)) res,
          nvl(length(regexp_replace(int_status, '[^,]')),0)+1 nb )
(res[for rn from 1 to nb[1] increment 1]=regexp_substr(int_status[1], '[^,]+', 1, cv(rn)))
order by c_ref, s_ref;
C_REF                          S_REF                          ERR_CODE
A                              AS                             a3
A                              AS                             a4
A                              AS                             a1
A                              AS                             a2
B                              BS                             b2

MODEL clause to process a comma separated string

Hi,
I'm trying to parse a comma separated string using SQL so that it will return the parsed values as rows;
eg. 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL' would return 3 rows;
'ABC'
'DEF GHI'
'JKL'
I'm thinking that I could possibily use the MODEL clause combined with REGULAR expressions to solve this as I've already got a bit of SQL which does the opposite ie. turning the rows into 1 comma separated string;
select id, substr( concat_string, 2 ) as string
from (select 1 id, 'ABC' string from dual union all select 1, 'DEF GHI' from dual union all select 1, 'JKL' from dual)
model
return updated rows
partition by ( id )
dimension by ( row_number() over (partition by id order by string) as position )
measures ( cast(string as varchar2(4000) ) as concat_string )
rules
upsert
iterate( 1000 )
until ( presentv(concat_string[iteration_number+2],1,0) = 0 )
( concat_string[0] = concat_string[0] || ',' || concat_string[iteration_number+1] )
order by id;
Can anyone give me some pointers how to parse the comma separated string using regexp and create as many rows as needed using the MODEL clause?

Yes, you could do it without using ITERATE, but FOR ... INCREMENT is pretty much same loop. Couple of improvements:
a) there is no need for CHAINE measure
b) there is no need for CASE in RULES clause
c) NVL can be applies on measures level
with t as (select 1 id, 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF,GHI,JKL' string from dual

Natty! But completely illogical (I mean creating an XMLTABLE from a non-XML string). I'm guessing that's a development of XQuery?

How to remove the comma from string

Hi,
I Have string like below :
String some1="123,44.22";
I want to remove comma from string and final output should be 12244.22.
public class getOut{
public static void main(String args[]){
String some1="123,44.22";
getChars(int 0,some1.length(),char[] dst,0);
can somebody in the forum give me idea how to remove comma from the String and
have a string without comma.
Thanks
Jack

int idx = oldString.indexOf(',');
if(idx >= 0)
newString = oldString.substring(0, idx) + oldString.substring(idx + 1);or for jdk 1.4 and later
str = str.replaceAll(",", "");

Using a comma-delimited string in Dynamic SQL

Hi --
If I receive a comma-delimited string as an in parameter, can I simply use that (in string format) when building my dynamic sql?
Thanks,
Christine

The problem is, that you can not use bind variables
here, only literals. This causes
eventual performance problems.And to avoid the inevitable database performance problems Dmytro mentions you can use a function to convert the string to a varray and select from that. This also avoids having to use dynamic sql.
First you create a varray and conversion function.
SQL> create or replace type tabstr_t as table of varchar2(255)
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function tabstr (
2      p_str in varchar2,
3      p_sep in varchar2 default ','
4      )
5 return tabstr_t
6 as
7      l_str long default p_str || p_sep;
8      l_tabstr tabstr_t := tabstr_t();
9 begin
10      while l_str is not null loop
11          l_tabstr.extend(1);
12          l_tabstr(l_tabstr.count) := rtrim(substr(
13                  l_str,1,instr(l_str,p_sep)),p_sep);
14          l_str := substr(l_str,instr(l_str,p_sep)+1);
15      end loop;
16      return l_tabstr;
17 end;
18 /
Function created.Then you can use these in either regular sql.

Passing comma separated string to stored procedure

Hi,
There is thread with same query I created earlier and that was answered. That solution worked if I pass comma separated string containing IDs. But due to changes in the logic, I have to pass usernames instead of userIDs. I tried to modify the solution provided to use with this.
Following the link to previous post :
Re: Passing comma separated string to stored procedure

TYPE refcurPubs IS REF CURSOR;
procedure GetAllPersonalQueue (p_user_name in nvarchar2, TestQID OUT Test.refcurQID

select id from cfq where name in (p_user_name);
Open TestPubs for
SELECT qid FROM queues WHERE qid in(
select id from cfq where name in (p_user_name));
END GetAllPersonalQueue;
------Package Body-------
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I modified the query as per the solution provided by isotope, after which the logic changed and I am passing username instead of userID in comma separated string.
Following is the changes SP, which does not throw any error, but no data is returned.

Comma delimited string relating to subreports

I previously opened a discussion called comma delimited string for a report header. The response I received then worked well for 'Year' but not for two other areas I am trying to use it for.
Original Code
Details:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar Year:= Year+ {@Year} + ", ";
Report Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar Year;
Left(Year, len(Year)-2);
I needed to modify the code to eliminate duplication in Year and this worked fine. See the code below. I also needed this code for two other areas, Author and School. Without the extra line of code with the 'instr' function the code would always show and error for ' Left(author, len(author)-2);'. It came up with and error saying that the result was less than 0 or not and integer and went into debug mode. I added the instr function line and it worked for most but not all. This is my problem. Either the ' Left(author, len(author)-2);' line or 'If instr(author, {@Author } ) = 0 then' makes data disappear. It will show a comma delimited string for 'Author' on most rows but not from some. The same would be true for' School'. I am not sure what is going on. The code below is what I am currently using in the subreports.
Details:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar author;
If instr(author, {@Author}) = 0 then
    author:= author + {@Author } + ", ";
Report Footer:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar author;
If instr(author, {@Author } ) = 0 then
    author:= author + {@Author } + ", ";
Else
    Left(author, len(author)-2);

Hi Abhilash,
The code for the @Author is:
If ({Command.chrStatus} = "External")then
    {Command.chrSurname} & ", " & {Command.chrFirstname}
Else
    {Command.chrSurname(1)} & ", " & {Command.chrFirstname(1)}
The goal of this code was to pull all the authors into one comma delimited string.
eg Smith, Brian; Jones, Barry; Lee, Henry
The same desire was with the Schools and the code was the same. I just don't know why this is returning the blanks.
You mentioned in the last post that this would be better done in an SQL command. Should I open up another discussion because I think this would be the way to go. I just don't know how I can do the same comma delimited code in SQL.
Thanks

Converting Floats to comma-delimited strings?

Does anyone know of any methods or classes that can convert a float to a comma delimited string?
Alternatively, conversion of a non-comma delimited string to a comma-delimited string would be just as good.
An example of a comma-delimited string would be the display on the iPhone calculator.
-- tia rick

Also in this guide:
https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DataFo rmatting/DataFormatting.html
and a small example:
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
//[numberFormatter setFormat:@"$#,##0;$#,##0;-$#,##0"];
label.text = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:floatVal]];
[numberFormatter release];
notice the commented out line is commented out because apparently setFormat is not supported on the iPhone (yet???) It's what I really need.
good luck

DRM Function to divide comma delimited string to list value

Hi
Any one knows how to seperate comma delimited string into list values.
Thanks

Are you wanting to dynamically set the list values for a property? If so there are a couple options:
1. You can update them via the API.
2. You can write a sql script to update the table Property_List. This requires an application server restart and generally isn't recommended for support reasons but it makes sense in some instances.

In release 11 here's a neat method.

"but the sad thing is, that managers will most likely respond with a "This used to be fast in MSSQL, but now it isn't any more in Oracle. Oracle is so slow ...""
On the bright side, it sounds like most of the database calls are implemented as stored procedures, so there is an opportunity to do it right (in Oracle terms) in the stored procedures.
I did a similar conversion a while back, converting bad SQLServer procedures to good Oracle procedures. Everyone said "Oracle is much faster that SQLServer"

6 /
REGEXP_SUBSTR(TXT,'[^,]+',

2323
23232
2343
34234... so it doesn't have to work out how many levels it needs to do, it just keeps going until it get's a no-value (of course that assumes that there is always a value between each comma)

How to dynamically update columns in a where clause to a SQL query in OSB?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in we need to dynamically update a where clause to a SQL query in OSB(11.1.1.6.0).
For example:
If the JCA sql string is "select * from emp where emp_id = 100 and emp_status ='Permanent'" now i want to change this where clause and the new query has to be like "select * from emp where emp_name like 'S%' and emp_dept like 'IT' ". basically we need to change the where clause dynamically.
We can also use "fn-bea:execute-sql()" in a xquery but I don't want to use this function as creates a new connection.
I have done some home work and found out --> as per the DOC "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/dev.1111/e15866/jca.htm#OSBDV943" section: "25.5.2 JCA Transport Configuration for Proxy and Business Services", when a business service is created by using JCA, we can see Interaction Spec Properties under JCA Transport Tab. This will have a property "SqlString' and we can over ride it. But I am unable to figure out how to over ride the value. I have tried by using Transport Headers activity but no luck. Please guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
Surya

I solved my problem.
In my header renderer, I simply added a line to set the text to the object value "label.setText( (String) value );" (where label is an instance of a JLabel.
Thank you to who took some time to think about it.
