Comma seperated Column, to get details?

how to do, when Table1 has Column with comma seperated IDs, details are in the Table2.
Table 1
ID Col2
1 10,12
2 18,12
3 5,3
4 10
Table 2
col1 col2
3 new
5 old
10 semi
12 mild
18 very mild
a query/pl sql to get the results in:
Results:
ID Col2
1 10
1 12
2 18
2 12
3 5
3 3
4 10

but fails if the column has more number of seperated valuesWhat do you mean? Do you get an error? Or the wrong results?
This works for me on 10gXE:

Mapping a column with comma seperated values

Hi,
I have two tables
1. Tasks (task_id, task_description)
2. Task_assignment (username, task_assignment_value)
the task_assignment_value has a comma seperated list of task_ids.
What is the best ways to map the tables ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a couple of attributes where I do this. From TopLink's perspective, I just map it as a String. Then, in my accessors for the attribute, I transform the primitive between the String and an Array or however the rest of the app wants to see the attribute.
Here's an example that's actually more complicated than absolutely necessary. The mapped attributed is indicatorValueListString. It is lazily converted to an Array of Enums when it is first accessed. And it is converted back to a String in the preWriteEventCallback that is mapped in the TopLink descriptor.
This implementation attempts to minimize the number of times the String<->Array conversion takes place, but if that's not a concern, it could be made much more simple. Also, at my company we privately manage collections with the Collection classes for dynamic allocation, but publicly exchange Arrays for type-safety. This could also be factored out. ValuedEnumUtils basically manages asking the enum for its delimiter and performing the actual conversion between a String and an Array or back.
private String indicatorValueListString;
private List indicatorValueSelections;
private List indicatorValueSelections() {
        if (indicatorValueSelections == null) {
                indicatorValueSelections = new ArrayList();
                if (indicatorValueListString != null) {
                        indicatorValueSelections =
                                java.util.Arrays.asList(ValuedEnumUtils.decodeEnumString(
                                     IndicatorValueEnum.class,indicatorValueListString));
        return indicatorValueSelections;
private void indicatorValueSelections(List newIndicatorValueSelections) {
        indicatorValueSelections = newIndicatorValueSelections;
public IndicatorValueEnum[] getIndicatorValueSelections() {
        return (IndicatorValueEnum[])indicatorValueSelections().toArray(new IndicatorValueEnum[0]);
public void setIndicatorValueSelections(IndicatorValueEnum[] newIvSelections) {
        indicatorValueSelections(java.util.Arrays.asList(newIvSelections));
public boolean addIndicatorValueSelection(IndicatorValueEnum anIvEnum) {
        return indicatorValueSelections().add(anIvEnum);
public boolean removeIndicatorValueSelection(IndicatorValueEnum anIvEnum) {
        return indicatorValueSelections().remove(anIvEnum);
public void preWriteEventCallback(DescriptorEvent aDescriptorEvent) {
        // Note: Not using accessor to avoid lazy initialization if no changes
        // are necessary.
        if (indicatorValueSelections != null) {
                indicatorValueListString =
                        ValuedEnumUtils.encodeEnumString((ValuedEnum[])indicatorValueSelections.toArray());

Count the number of elements in comma seperated list of values

Hello Friends,
I have a string with comma seperated list of values say
String v = 34343,erere,ererere,sdfsdfsdfs,4454,5454,dsfsdfsfsd,fsdfsdfsdfs,dfdsfsdfsdfs,sdsfdsf,ererdsdsd45454,fsdfsdfs
Want to count how many elements are existing in this string .
Thanks/Kumar

Hi, Kumar,
REGEXP_COUNT, which Hoek used, is handy, but it only works in Oracle 11. Which version of Oracle are you using?
In any version of Oracle, you can count the commas by seeing how much the string shrinks when you remove them.
LENGTH (str) + 1 - LENGTH (REPLACE (str, ',')) Can str have multiple commas in a row? What if there's nothing between consecutive commas, or nothing by whitespace? Can str begin or end with a comma? Can str consist of nothing but commas? Depending on your answers, you may have to change things. You might want
REGEXP_COUNT ( str
, '[^,]+'
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

I want to create stored procedure which will give output rows from "values that are passed as one parameter (comma seperated) to store procedure".

Hello,
I want to create stored procedure which will give output rows from "values that are passed as one parameter (comma seperated) to store procedure".
Suppose ,
Parameter value : person 1,person2,person3
table structure :
Project Name | officers 1 | officers 2
here, officers 1 or officers 2 may contain names of multiple people.
expected OUTPUT : distinct list(rows) of projects where person 1 or person 2 or person 3 is either officer1 or officer 2.
please explain or provide solution in detail
- Thanks

Hi Visakh,
Thanks for reply.
But the solution you provided giving me right output only if officer 1 or officer 2 contains single value , not with comma seperated value.
Your solution is working fine for following scenario :
Project
Officers 1
Officers 2
p1
of11
off21
p2
of12
off22
with parameter : of11,off22 : it will give expected output
And its not working in case of :
Project
Officers 1
Officers 2
p1
of11,of12
off21,off23
p2
of12,of13
off22,off24
with parameter : of11,off22 : it will not give any row in output
I need patten matching not exact match :)
ok
if thats the case use this modified logic
CREATE PROC GetProjectDetails
@PersonList varchar(5000)
AS
SELECT p.*
FROM ProjectTable p
INNER JOIN dbo.ParseValues(@PersonList,',')f
ON ',' + p.[officers 1] + ',' LIKE '%,' + f.val + ',%'
OR ',' + p.[officers 2] + ',' LIKE '%,' + f.val + ',%'
GO
Keep in mind that what you've done is a wrong design approach
You should not be storing multiples values like this as comma separated list in a single column. Learn about normalization . This is in violation of 1st Normal Form

B ---- null ---- 4,5
C ---- 6,8 ---- 9,10

Hi!
Solution for Oracle 11g:
SELECT A.KEY,
       listagg(decode(b.id, null, null, a.id), ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY A.ID) AS USEDID,
       listagg(decode(b.id, null, a.id), ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY A.ID) AS NOTUSEDID
FROM TABLE1 A
       LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 b
       ON (A.ID = b.ID)
GROUP BY a.key;
Solution for databases prior to Oracle 11g:
Please note that the function wm_concat is undocumented and can't be sorted!
SELECT A.KEY,
       wm_concat(decode(b.id, null, null, a.id)) AS USEDID,
       wm_concat(decode(b.id, null, a.id)) AS NOTUSEDID
FROM TABLE1 A
       LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 b
       ON (A.ID = b.ID)
GROUP BY A.KEY;I used the following test case:
create table table1(key varchar2(255), id number);
CREATE TABLE table2(ID NUMBER);
insert into table1 values('A', 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('A', 2);
INSERT INTO table1 values('A', 3);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('B', 4);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('B', 5);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('C', 6);
INSERT INTO table1 values('C', 8);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('C', 9);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES('C', 10);
INSERT INTO table1 values('D', 11);
insert into table1 values('D', 12);

Inserting comma seperated values

I created a stored procedure that creates an order_id. Using this id, the products and their pricetag are inserted. Hereafter the garnishes are inserted for each product.
Creating an order id and inserting the products and their pricetag are working. The problem is at the inserting of garnishes.
The data is received by parameters, and I have also created a user defined type: where garnishId holds the comma seperated ids.
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[ppg] AS TABLE(
[ProductId] [int] NULL,
[PriceId] [int] NULL,
[garnishId] [VARCHAR](MAX) NULL
this is the stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_create_order]
(@userId uniqueidentifier, @productPriceGarnishes dbo.ppg READONLY, @comment varchar(250))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @orderId int
DECLARE @orderDetailId int
INSERT INTO orders (user_id, confirmed,comment) values(@userId,0,@comment);
--Select last inserted PK
SELECT @orderId=SCOPE_IDENTITY()
-- insert products and price tag using @orderId
INSERT INTO order_detail (order_id, product_id,price_id)
SELECT @orderId, p.ProductId,
p.PriceId
FROM @productPriceGarnishes p
SELECT @orderDetailId=SCOPE_IDENTITY()
-- insert garnishes using the orderDetailId
INSERT INTO order_detail_garnish (order_detail_id,garnish_id)
SELECT @orderDetailId, (SELECT * FROM SplitDelimiterString(p.garnishId))
FROM @productPriceGarnishes p
END
RETURN @orderId
I found a function that splits the string by a delimiter in this website:
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/586395/Split-comma-separated-IDs-to-ge
Where you can retrieve the ids by this query:
(SELECT * FROM SplitDelimiterString(p.garnishId)
The problem is that I don't know how to add these ids with their corresponding orderDetailId, after each product is added.

Unfortunately it appears you assume too much. Presumably the reason you chose to define @productPriceGarnishes as a table is to support the creation of multiple rows. And you use these rows to insert into the order_detail table which has an identity
column as the primary key (again, presumably). So the question then becomes how do you get the identity values for ALL of the inserted rows? You can't do that with SCOPE_IDENTITY - your code currently is designed with the assumption that there
is only one row to be inserted. To work around that limitation you need to use the output clause (examples can be found by searching).
Next comes another problem. How do you know which identity value is assigned to which row of your table variable during the insert? You need some sort of natural key to associate the inserted rows with the rows in the table variable. Do
you have one? Before you think you do, you need to think about what restrictions are placed on the content of the table variable (if any). Is it possible to have multiple rows with the same values for ProductId and PriceId? Do not assume
- you need to be certain that this is or is not a possibility.
Assuming that the rows are unique (which simplifies things greatly), you associate the inserted order_detail rows to the table variable via something like:
select ... from @ins_detail as ins inner join @productPriceGarnishes as ppg
on ins.ProductId = ppg.ProductId and ins.PriceId = ppg.PriceId
Note that @ins_detail is a table variable that you would declare and populate via the output clause. It will contain the identity values for each row that you inserted. With that, you can then generate the rows that you need to insert into the garnish
table by applying the results of your splitter function. Which is a step that I'll skip for now since you have much reading and work to do.
Now some last comments. I am suspicious of a column named PriceId. That is not a good sign - price is an attribute of something and not the basis of a relationship between tables. The use of identity columns (especially as primary keys)
can be a problem - and this is one good example. Based on what I've just written and its assumptions, the natural key for order_detail is (order_id, product_id, price_id) - why do you need an identity column? Again, searching will find past
discussions about identity columns and their usage.

I am trying to read in data from a .CSV file.
The CSV file contains a list of questions and answers in the
format;
Question, option1, option2,option3,option4, correct answer
My problem is that I can get the whole line into an array but
I can't find a way of getting each element of the comma seperated
file into a multi dimensioned array.
I need to be able to use MyArray[1,1] is equal to
Question and MyArray[1,2] is equal to
option1 etc etc
Hope this makes sense

In your routine you have two loops.
Either one will work on thier own but as soon i nest them
then it just stops working........
The below data is stored as a Data.csv file (Obviously it
contains a lot more these are the first 3 records.) **Can't count =
4 records lol)
,,B,,,,Lorry,,,,,X,,,,,CC5001 ,Mark one answer,,under 7.5
tonnes maximum authorised mass,over 7.5 tonnes maximum authorised
mass,over 7.5 metres overall height,under 7.5 metres overall
height,,,1111,This sign means no entry for goods
vehicles,TS4619.eps,CC5001.gif ,Vehicle Weights and Dimensions
,,B,,,,Lorry,,,,,X,,,,,CC5002 ,Mark one answer,,either the
left-hand or middle lane,only the left-hand lane,only the middle
lane,any of the lanes,,,1111,Your lorry is over 7.5 tonnes maximum
authorised mass. This sign means you may use,TS4545.eps,CC5002.gif
,Vehicle Weights and Dimensions
,,C,,,,Lorry,,,,,,X,,,,CC5003,Mark one answer,,30 mph,40
mph,50 mph,60 mph,,,1111,You are driving a lorry with a maximum
authorised mass of 7 tonnes. What is the maximum speed limit on a
single carriageway?,,,Vehicle Weights and Dimensions
,,B,,,,Lorry,,,,,X,,,,,CC5004,Mark one answer,,30 mph,40
mph,50 mph,60 mph,,,1111,What is the national speed limit on a
single carriageway road for a rigid lorry weighing more than 7.5
tonnes maximum authorised mass?,,,Vehicle Weights and
Dimensions

How to make comma seperated file

hi
I have a select statement that looks like below. I want to make comma seperated file for the selected columns. How to write it?
SELECT MM.DAL_NUMBER,
'19-NOV-2009' as WSS_CE,
CPN_INT,
TRADE_DATE,
MX_DATE "LAST_DATE",
CUSTOMER_SPECIF CUST_GID,
NAME_SHORT CUST_NAME_SHORT
from my_table;
if you could provide me with exact query.
Thanks

Slightly more generic approach...

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY TEST_DIR AS '\tmp\myfiles'
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY TEST_DIR TO myuser

Adapt to output different datatypes and styles are required.

Comma seperated checkboxes - add comma AND a space

Comma seperated checkboxes has worked great for me, except for one thing. I want the values to be seperated by a comma AND a space, like so:
This is what I get now.
location1,location2,location3
What I'd like to get is:
location1, location2, location3
Is what I want possible? If so what's the easiest way to change it?
-Kevin

I'm running into another problem. Your solution for displaying the locations with spaces works great when querying a single record.
However, when I use in a repeat region, all records show the location of the first record. This problem is only present in a repeat region.
For the repeat region, I choose a recordset called feeds to repeat. Repeating elements inside are displayed as .
Now, $locations is in that recordet but $locations_with_spaces is not.
Is there a way to get $locations_with_spaces to repeat properly?
Thanks

How to query the comma seperated values stored in Database

Hi,
I have a strange scenario, I am storing the specific data as a comma seperated value in the database. I want to query the DB with the comma seperated value as a Bind variable against the comma seperated value stored in DB.
For eg : The data stored in DB has
Row1 - > 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Row2 - > 4,5,6,7,8,9,10
When I pas the Bind variable as '4,8' I should get Row1 and Row2 .
Quick help his highly appreciated.. Thanks in Advance

Oh, and if you actually wanted the data returned rather than just the row primary keys....
