Insert comma within string

I have an insert statement which contains two string ,
INSERT INTO hip.ref_hip_specialties VALUES('NP-WOMEN'S HEALTH','NP-WOMEN'S HEALTH');
But getting error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00917: missing comma
I know its because of 'S in the strings.How can i include it while inserting ?Please help

Hello,
Assuming you're on 10g or greater, then this will work, using Q Notation:
INSERT INTO hip.ref_hip_specialties VALUES(Q'[NP-WOMEN'S HEALTH]',Q'[NP-WOMEN'S HEALTH]');

Oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException:Cannot enable auto commit within JTS transaction

Hi All,
OracleXMLSave class in the Oracle XDK is being used to load XML data into an 8170 database. The Java code is running in IBM WebSphere with container-managed transactions. When JTA is enabled with the Merant JDBC driver for Oracle, we get the following error when the XML is loaded:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Cannot enable auto commit within JTS
transaction
     at java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace(Native Method)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:2213)
     at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(Compiled Code)
This suggests the OracleXMLSave class is not aware of the fact that it is now operating in a JTS transaction where control is managed elsewhere. i.e. should also not attempt to commit or rollback, as this is the responsibility of the container.
Is there a property which needs to set to prevent the above or does the XDK not work with J2EE (JTS) transactions?.
If you have any useful comments, let me know. Testing the above presents me with a number of problems so if this is easily explained , let me know.
Thanks,

Clearly , there does seem to be something a bit odd with the above stack.
<Bug:1917808> mentions OracleXMLSave in context of plsql equivalent : dbms_xmlsave . i.e dbms_xmlsave is a wrapper around OracleXMLSave class.
disabling autocommit on connection as follows should help:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("connect string","scott","tiger");
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
to disble auto commit and see if this has an effect.
This issue might be <Bug:1497506>. If disabling autocommit does not work then it appears that it could be this issue .

Cannot enable auto commit within JTS using websphere

i suddenly encountered some exceptions like this yet the process seems to be ok. i am pretty new to websphere, help please:

I'm setting autoCommit to false in some of my code and it works. Here is the example:
//This code works for the Oracle Thin Driver
               conn.setAutoCommit(false); // <- required!
             // initialize LOB reference
             GDate curDate = new GDate();
             ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into Calculated_Rate_Import values (empty_clob(), ?)");
             //conn.createStatement().executeUpdate("insert into Calculated_Rate_Import values (empty_clob(), TO_DATE('" + GDate.getSafeSqlDate(curDate) + "'))");
             ps.setTimestamp(1, GDate.getSafeTimestamp(curDate));
             ps.executeUpdate();
             ps = conn.prepareStatement("select Calculated_Rate_Import from Calculated_Rate_Import where Import_Date = ? for update");
             ps.setTimestamp(1, GDate.getSafeTimestamp(curDate));
               results = ps.executeQuery();
             results.next();
             // get lob reference from write lock
                 //oracle.sql.CLOB clob = ((oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSet)results).getCLOB(1);
               oracle.sql.CLOB clob = (oracle.sql.CLOB)results.getClob("Calculated_Rate_Import");
             // create statement for update
             ps = conn.prepareStatement("update Calculated_Rate_Import set Calculated_Rate_Import = ? where Import_Date = ?");

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

Convert comma separated string in rows

Dear Gurus,
I want to convert comma separated string in rows so as to insert in collection.
e.g. string 1234,2323,23232,2343,34234
Above string should be converted in rows so as to insert in table or collection
Thanks in advance
Sanjeev

Or slight variation...
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 with t as (select '1234,2323,23232,2343,34234' as txt from dual)
2 --
3 select REGEXP_SUBSTR (txt, '[^,]+', 1, level)
4 from t
5* connect by REGEXP_SUBSTR (txt, '[^,]+', 1, level) is not null
6 /
REGEXP_SUBSTR(TXT,'[^,]+',
1234
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)

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

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...
user548963 wrote:

But it does not give me right result.Yes it does, it's giving exactly the expected result for what you have provided. It may not be what you're desiring, but it's absolutely correct.
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.

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.

I have the problem when try to insert "Thai langusge" string to MS access database through JDBC in JSP page.

But after inserted to database, the record in Access was always show "?????" instead of "Thai"......
How can i solve this?
Thank you for your kindness in advances.

It's a pain in the butt, but you'll have to write your own character set conversion to handle the problem. Check out the link shown below (just replace BIG5 in the example with MS874):

BPM xpath issue with last-index-within-string

Hey all,
I have a script task in BPM that updates a field by using multiple xpath functions. I have narrowed the issue down to the oraext:last-index-within-string function.
If I do something like oraext:last-index-within-string('ora/in/ok/d', '/').....I get 9 like expected.
But if I base it off the request data like so:
oraext:last-index-within-string(bpmn:getDataObject('Request')/ns:document/ns1:dDocAccount, '/')........when I go to em I have an internal xpath error.
I'm assuming it has something to do with using bpmn:getDataObject as a parameter. But I'm not sure what. If I use the getDataObject as a parameter in substring like so:
substring(bpmn:getDataObject('Request')/ns:document/ns1:dDocAccount, 8)....it works as expected.
What is it about the combination with last-index-within-string that is giving me an issue??
Thanks
John

Got it. Apparently, sometimes with xpath, you have to concatenate the variable with an empty string to change it into a string....sometimes, but not all the time...yay.... I'm guessing the xpath inbuilt functions already know to convert the variable passed in into a string, whereas the oraext functions don't. I could be completely wrong on that though...:-P . Anyway, this works:
oraext:last-index-within-string(concat(bpmn:getDataObject('Result')/ns:document/ns1:dDocAccount, ''), '/')
Thanks,
John

Passing comma separated string to stored procedure

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.
PROCEDURE GetAllPersonalQueue (p_user_name in nvarchar2, TestQID OUT Test.refcurQID, TestPubs OUT Test.refcurPubs
) is
--local variable
strFilter varchar2(100);
BEGIN
Open TestQID for
select id, name from cfq where name in
select regexp_substr(p_user_name||',','[a-z]+[0-9]+',1,level)
from dual
connect by level <= (select max(length(p_user_name)-length(replace(p_user_name,',')))+1
from dual)
Open TestPubs for
SELECT qid FROM queues WHERE qid in(
select id from cfq where name in
select regexp_substr(p_user_name||',','[a-z]+[0-9]+',1,level)
from dual

from dual)
END GetAllPersonalQueue;

How to insert Javascript within Javascript ?

I have a simple problem.
I want to insert Javascript within Javascript ???
Seems weird !!!
Here's the scenario :
I have created a JSP in which I have a function that Submits the main form in the main window.
Here's the function :
function SubmitContent()
document.f1.method='post';
document.f1.action='http://localhost:8080/examples/sherbir/texteditor2/page2.jsp';
document.f1.submit();
and here's the form description :
<form name='f1'>
But before that, on clicking the submit button in the main window, I am opening a child window to perform a few operations as follows :
<input type="button" name="bttn_preview" value="Preview" onClick="javascript:SeePreview()">
Here's the SeePreview() function which opens the child window:
function SeePreview()
var mywin=window.open("","","menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=450");
mywin.moveTo(0,50);
mywin.document.write('<input type=button value="Make more changes"
onClick=javascript:window.close()>');
mywin.document.write('<input type="submit" name="child_bttn_sub" value="Proceed" onClick=self.close(); self.opener.SubmitContent();>');
The child window in turn has a submit button as defined above.
On clicking this button, I want the child window to close and hence submit the parent form also.
It's not happening !!
I even tried changing the order of the two statements in the OnClick event of the submit button in the child window.
I also tried self.opener.document.forms[0].submit()
None works.
Where's the problem ??
How do I remedy the situation ?
Please Help.

Not satisfiedAnd you won't be till you ask the right people for an answer. This is Java, and JavaServer Pages (JSP), not Javascript. If you go to a Javascript forum you will have a better chance of finding people who know more Javascript. Makes sense, doesn't it?

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
