Cyrillic string conversion question

Question

Hello,
First time here...
I would like to know if there is a way to convert a text string from cyrillic to latin. Should I use a function?

Answer 1

I have insufficient privileges to create the function so I'm going to look for someone else to create it so that I can use it. I've added additional letters and now it looks like this:
CREATE FUNCTION cyrillic_to_latin_spelling(p_cyrillic VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
TYPE v_spelling_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(3) INDEX BY VARCHAR2(1);
v_spelling_tbl v_spelling_type;
v_str VARCHAR2(4000);
v_char VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
v_spelling_tbl(' ') := ' ';
v_spelling_tbl('А') := 'A';
v_spelling_tbl('Б') := 'B';
v_spelling_tbl('В') := 'V';
v_spelling_tbl('Г') := 'G';
v_spelling_tbl('Д') := 'D';
v_spelling_tbl('Е') := 'E';
v_spelling_tbl('Ж') := 'Z';
v_spelling_tbl('З') := 'Z';
v_spelling_tbl('И') := 'I';
v_spelling_tbl('Й') := 'I';
v_spelling_tbl('К') := 'K';
v_spelling_tbl('Л') := 'L';
v_spelling_tbl('М') := 'M';
v_spelling_tbl('Н') := 'N';
v_spelling_tbl('О') := 'O';
v_spelling_tbl('П') := 'P';
v_spelling_tbl('Р') := 'R';
v_spelling_tbl('С') := 'S';
v_spelling_tbl('Т') := 'T';
v_spelling_tbl('У') := 'U';
v_spelling_tbl('Ф') := 'F';
v_spelling_tbl('Х') := 'H';
v_spelling_tbl('Ц') := 'CH';
v_spelling_tbl('Ч') := 'CH';
v_spelling_tbl('Ш') := 'SH';
v_spelling_tbl('Щ') := 'SH';
v_spelling_tbl('Ъ') := 'A';
v_spelling_tbl('Ь') := '';
v_spelling_tbl('Ю') := 'IU';
v_spelling_tbl('Я') := 'YA';
FOR v_i IN 1 .. NVL(LENGTH(p_cyrillic), 0) LOOP
v_char := SUBSTR(p_cyrillic, v_i, 1);
v_str := v_str || v_spelling_tbl(v_char);
END LOOP;
RETURN v_str;
END
