Concatenate various column values into one

How can I concatenate all values in a column to a single value for VARCHAR2 column datatype, with a delimeter between the values.

SET LINESIZE 1000
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_name VARCHAR2 (1000) := NULL;
CURSOR cursor_name
IS
SELECT ename
FROM emp;
BEGIN
FOR c_rec IN cursor_name
LOOP
v_name := v_name | | ',' | | c_rec.ename;
END LOOP;
v_name := SUBSTR (v_name, 2)
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_name);
END;
null

Combine 2 specific column values into one column

Is there an easy solution to combine column values that is in a group?
In my report I have 1 column group named Activity_Area which has 5 different values Activity 1, Activity2...Activity5.
Let's say I want to merge Activity 4 and Activity 5 and call it ActivityX and gives me the output as below
Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 | ActivityX

Hi Jhonny86,
According to your description, you create a field in database and it contains five values. Then you want to only display four values in report column group, and the last two values should be replaced by “ActivityX”, right?
In your scenario, you can create an table like below:
create table Act(id int,activity varchar(99))
insert into Act select 1,'Activity 1'
insert into Act select 2,'Activity 2'
insert into Act select 3,'Activity 3'
insert into Act select 4,'Activity 4'
insert into Act select 5,'Activity 5'
Then query the table with code like below in query designer, then add the field [Act] into the column group.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Concatenate multiple row values into single column value

Hello,
Can anyone please refresh my memory on how to concatenate multiple row values into a single column value.
In the following query, I will get multiple denial reasons per application and I would rather return all denial reasons on one line.
SELECT a.application_id, a.membership_number,
r.reason_text AS denial_reason,
a.appl_receipt_date AS application_receipt_date,
a.plan_request_1 AS application_plan_code,
a.adjudication_date AS application_denial_date
FROM application a, PLAN p, application_reason ar, reason r
WHERE a.plan_request_1 = p.plan_cd
AND a.application_id = ar.application_id
AND ar.reason_id = r.reason_id
AND a.adjudication_cd = 'D'
AND a.appl_receipt_date BETWEEN '01-jan-2006' AND '31-dec-2006'
AND p.plan_type_id = 12 and a.application_id = :appId
ORDER BY application_id
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Merging different values into one column

Hi all,
If my report has two columns A and B. For one value of A, there are multiple values coming from database for B.
So, report displays them like this:
A     B
1     x
1     y
1     z
Is it possible somehow that i can merge all possible values of B in one row instead of many. i.e. report should look like this:
A     B
1     x,y,z
Please reply with your suggestions.

Hi,
It is possible that can merge all B column values in one row.
Steps:-
1. First you create an object for B using @aggregate_Aware() function like
@Aggregate_Aware(TableName.B,TableName.B)+', '
Object qualification should be measure. Here B is the column name.
2. In WebI report drag and drop A and B objects
3. Run the report
Now you will get the result.

Hi,
Try giving CHR(10) for line feed.
DECLARE
     CURSOR C4 IS SELECT CONTENT FROM CHAT WHERE TOID = :BLOCK3.FROMID;
     Str_Temp VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
     :BLOCK3.TXT_TO := '';
     OPEN C4;
     LOOP
          FETCH C4 INTO Str_Temp;
          EXIT WHEN C4%NOTFOUND;
          :BLOCK3.TXT_TO := :BLOCK3.TXT_TO || CHR(10) || Str_Temp;
     END LOOP;
     CLOSE C4;
END;Regards,

Storing and retrieving multiple values into one cookie.

Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if anybody knows of any good tutorials involving storing multiple values into one cookie. Any URLs will be greatly apprecated. Thanks heaps.

These are normally delimted in HTTP by a semicolon. You can concatenate the string yourself and on the reverse trip use StringTokenizer to get the values back out.

Concatenate a column value across multiple rows - PDW

We are using PDW based on SQL2014. We require an efficient logic on how to concatenate a column value across multiple rows. We have the following table
T1
(CompanyID, StateCD)
Having following rows:
1              NY
1              NJ
1              CT
2              MA
2              NJ
2              VA
3              FL
3              CA
We need a code snippet which will return following result set:
1
CT,NJ,NY
2
MA,NJ,VA
3
CA,FL
We have tried built-in function STUFF with FOR XML PATH clause and it is not supported in PDW. So, we need a fast alternative.

How to integrate existing value into one in hierarchy char.

I have a char. hierarchy call ZCOMP_CODE. ZLEADER is compounding with ZCOUNTRY.
The master data in ZCOMP_CODE looks like
ZLEADER;ZCOMP_CODE;
010;1000;
010;1001;
010;1002;
020;1000;
021;1000;
In query I have char. ZCOMP_CODE in row and one KF ZREVENUE in column. Previously we calculated ZLEADER 010,020,021 separately. But, now I want to calculated ZLEADER 020 and 021 together. Does anyone know how to integrate two existing value into one and display it in query? Do I need to create a new hierarchy node for including 020,021?
Thanks!
rajatina.

don't know how you can achieve this in the query...
but in the workbench there's a solution. Just add a routine in the transformation to change 021 to 020.
if you need to have still the 021 info somewhere, create a ZCOMPANY_CODE2 where you store only the values needed (010, 020)... use this company code as hierarchy in the report, and use the other company code for displaying the 021...
hope it's clear,
M.

Concacenate Many Columns text into one Column

Hi,
I have many columns with text in it. I would like to ideally concatenate these column content into just ONE column.
Please help work out how to do this as I have no idea.
I am somewhat familiar with CMD so if you can help with this urgently that would be SO awesome.
Thanks
:)

Thanks again...
So I want to display this data eventually on forms. So I think I do need to create a blank column.
so let's say I want the concatenated data to end up in "Final_Delivery".
How to do that?
Thank youI dont have any idea about Forms...But just a guess that for form as well you must be writing some SQL, and you can use the sql there directly. Otherwise if you want to get it inserted into new column in existing table....First you have to add a new column to your table and then run update Statement to populate that data..similar to this

Concatenate multiple pdf files into one single postscript file

Hi,
Could anyone help me with a code to "Concatenate Multiple pdf files into one single postscript file" ?
Thanks for the help

Thanks for your reply! Actually the main purpose is to allow user to select multiple pdf documents on a single web page and then he should be able to print all of them at once by hitting the print button on the web page instead of selecting each document seperately to print it. Also he should be able to see all the printing services available to print those documents.
Thanks,

Sql loader - mutiple values into one column

Hi,
Is it possible to load multiple fields into one column. Eg, my table structure has two columns COL1, COL2 and my data file is comma delimted with 3 fields A,B,C.
How could i use sql loader to achieve (without the use of temp tables)
COL1 = A
COL2 = BC
Thanks

I don't understand why you can't modify the input fille.
But anyway, i have 2 ways to help you
1. Make new inputfile online using pipe and awk(or something your are familiar with) and use it as new input file.
This is a traditional and powerful method in Unix environment.
For instance:
oracle> $ mknod pipe.dat p
oracle> cat input.dat | awk '{print ...}' > pipe.dat &
oracle> sqlldr ctl=.. data=pipe.dat
Using this method, you don't need to modify original input file physically, but by some magical trick you can modify it on the fly.
2. Use before trigger
For instance:
create table load(a int, b int, c int, d int);
create or replace trigger load_trigger
before insert on load
for each row
begin
:new.d := :new.b + :new.c;
:new.b := null;
:new.c := null;
end;
load data
infile *
append
into table load
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(a, b, c)
begindata
1, 1, 1
2, 2, 2
3, 3, 3
4, 4, 4
sqlldr userid=... ctl=load.ctl
SQL> select * from load;
A B C D
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 8
You won't like the existence of unnecessary columns(B, C) but don't have choice. ^^;
I think there is another simple way provided by SQL*Loader. But i've never tried it myself. Read following doc and try it yourself:
