Need help in using replace function with special characters

I have a column in a table where the data can contain ascii code for special characters such as an apostrophe.
The data looks like this:
CREEK'S LANE
ie for a street named CREEK'S LANE.
I want to replace the ascii representation with the apostrophe and have the returned data show up as: CREEK's LANE
When I try the query below I get prompted for substitution variable value.
I don't seem to be able to find the right syntax to make this query work.
SELECT REPLACE (street_name, ''', '''')
FROM
streets WHERE street_id = 1
Does anybody know how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GeorgeHa! The codes you specified rendered in the HTML, but showed properly when I listed your original posting above. I didn't understand what you meant initially because the 5-character string represenation got rendered as the quote that you said you weren't able to get - a display problem.
You're getting prompted for the substituon variable because of the ampersand; you appear to be doing this in SQL*PLUS. The first thing I would try is to SET DEFINE OFF when using the ampersands to see if that works. If That doesn't work check the docs to delmit the ampersand (I think its a backslash before it but can't remember offhand). Another, harder option might be to use the TRANSLATE function replacing the literal character instead of using REPLACE (though replacing a quote will be a little tricky). If you're on 10g also consider using the advanced quoting
Good luck!

  • Need help in setting file name with special characters in attachment

    Hi
    We have a requirement where we need to set the file name that contains special characters (like Russian) and send mauil using Java mail.
    If we set the file name as such, the attachment in the email contains garbled filename
    Can you pl let me know how to resolve this?
    We should use the file name as attachment name and this will have say special characters. The receiver who gets the mail should get with the correct attachment name
    One important point.. the attachments are opened from MS outlook.
    Thanks and regards

    Read the FAQ carefully. You don't need to call encodeText unless you're using a really
    old version of JavaMail.
    And, it depends on whether the mail reader you're using is handling encoded parameters
    according to the (new) MIME standard, or according to the (old) non-standard hack.
    Sadly, without knowing what mail reader the recipient is using, it's impossible to use
    encoded filenames that will work everywhere.

  • Need help in using sleep function in pl/sql

    Hi,
    need help:
    I have a condition where i want to validate total_pass=total_fail and
    I want to use the sleep function in a pl/sql where i want to wait for 2 minutes ie.checking
    whether total_pass=total_fail based upon class_id .
    I have the data in the table as:
    CLASS_ID TOT_PASS TOT_FAIL
    1 10 10
    2 5 4
    3 6 6
    4 7 5
    Any help will be needful for me

    I'm not quite sure what you are lookg for here, but whatever it is, your code as posted won't do it. You will never break out of the WHILE r_Class.Tot_Pass = r_Class.Tot_Fail loop, since these values will never change because you never get the next record form the cursor.
    From your original data, it looks like your cursor will return multiple rows which implies to me that you want to fetch the first row from the cursor, check if tot_pass = tot_fail, if they are equal, sleep for two minutes then get the next row. This does not make sense to me. Once the select in the cursor is executed, the data it returns will not change due to Oracle's read consistency model, so there seems to me no point in the sleep.
    The other alternative I can see is that you want to check all the returned rows, and if tot_pass = tot_fail for one of the rows (or possibly for all of the rows), then you want to sleep and try again.
    If you can explain in words what it is you are trying to accomplish, someone will be able to point you to a solution.

  • OBPM - Problem exporting to CSV (for use in Excel) with special characters?

    Hi All,
    I am wondering if anyone has found a good solution to a problem I am experiencing with OBPM's OTB export function.
    Our application is required to be bilingual for English and French, however we've noticed that when the user is in French-display-mode, and exports their worklist to CSV, the french characters are garbled when viewed in Excel.
    We've tracked the problem down to be that OBPM encodes the CSV file as UTF-8, and Excel default is ANSI. This mismatch causes the garble.
    Has anyone out there found a way to set the encoding type, or otherwise overcome this issue? We are using OBPM version 10.3.2
    Thanks!
    Steps to recreate:
    1. Open the OBPM workspace
    2. Click "Settings" in the top right corner
    3. Select the "Display" tab, and change the language to French, click save.
    4. Notice your column names now appear in French. Export your worklist to CSV using the "Output options" icon
    5. open the resulting file in Excel, notice that any specail characters (accented e's for example) are not garbled.

    Hi Sharma,
    We seem to be the only two people on the forum using multiple languages!
    I have contacted Oracle support about the issue and am awaiting their reply as we speak.. We have a workaround that we can use, but our users are not fans of it, and would like to see a better solution.
    Our workaround is simply to open the CSV file in notepad++ and re-save the file with ANSI encoding.
    You mentioned Oracle support had provided you with 3 fixes, were these code-fixes or workarounds? I am wondering if perhaps one of those would work for us..

  • Use private function with interface

    I'm working with ActionScript 2 and wanted to use an
    interface for one of my classes. However, the functions that it
    would define should be private in the classes that implement the
    interface. The problem is that I can't define private functions in
    the interface, and if I leave off any scope in the interface
    ("function findAndSetInformation():Void;") and make it private in
    the implementing class ("private function
    findAndSetInformation():Void {...") I get the error: "The
    implementation of the interface method doesn't match its
    definition.

  • Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable

    Hello Experts,
    Need some clarification on Replacement Path with Variable.
    We have 2 options with replacement path for characteristic variables i.e.
    1) Replace with query
    2) Replace with variable.
    Now, when we use  "Replace with variable" we give the variable name. Then we get a list for "Replace with" as follows:

  • Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.

    Hi Friends,
    Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
    I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
    I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
    I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
    select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
    ,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
    ,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
    from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]

    Interesting, I didn't know you could do that, but...

The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
    I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
    SimpleAggChr     - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
    ClobAggPrc     - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
    SimpleAggClob     - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
    I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
    Here's the procedure code:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE char100_list_type AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100)
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggChr (x_out OUT VARCHAR2) IS
      l_enames     char100_list_type;
    BEGIN
      SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
      FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
        x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
      END LOOP;
    END SimpleAggChr;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggClob (x_out OUT CLOB) IS
      l_enames     char100_list_type;
    BEGIN
      SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
      FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
        x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
      END LOOP;
    END SimpleAggClob;
    SHO ERR
    PROMPT ClobAggPrc
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ClobAggPrc (x_out OUT CLOB) IS
    BEGIN
      SELECT clobagg(first_name || '                                        ' || last_name || ',')
        INTO x_out
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
    END ClobAggPrc;
    SHO ERRand the driving script:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    SET TIMING ON
    DECLARE
      l_enames_c1     CLOB;

  • Creating Report using EPM Functions with Dynamic Filters

    Hi All,
    I am new to BPC, In BPC 7.5 i seen like we can generate EPM report using EVDRE function very quickly and easy too. Is the same feature is existing in BPC 10.0 ? if no how can we create EPM reports using EPM Functions with Dynamic Filters on the Members of the dimension like in BPC 7.5.
    And i searched in SDN, there is no suitable blogs or documents which are related to generation of Reports using EPM Functions. All are described just in simple syntax way. It is not going to be understand for the beginners.
    Would you please specify in detail step by step.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Siva Nagaraju

    Siva,
    These functions are not used to create reports per se but rather assist in building reports. For ex, you want to make use of certain property to derive any of the dimension members in one of your axes, you will use EPMMemberProperty. Similary, if you want to override members in any axis, you will make use of EPMDimensionOverride.
    Also, EvDRE is not replacement of EPM functions. Rather, you simply create reports using report editor (drag and drop) and then make use of EPM functions to build your report. Forget EvDRE for now.
    You can protect your report to not allow users to have that Edit Report enabled for them.
    As Vadim rightly pointed out, start building some reports and then ask specific questions.
    Hope it clears your doubts.

  • How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.

    Hi There,
    How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
    TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.
    Thanks in advance

    use this instead:
    TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, ( DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) * -1) + 1, CURRENT_DATE)

  • Bulk Replacements using Replace function in oracle 8i

    Hi All,
    Iam using oracle 8i version and i need to use Replace function for bulf replacements i mean i need to replace around 250 rows. So please anyone suggest me how to proceed
    on this request as iam using oracle 8i version.
    Thanks!
    Srini

    Write one update statement.
    The where condition is the filter what rows need to be touched.
    The SET condition will do the data change. For example it could use the REPLACE function if that is what it is needed.
    One single update statement over 20 rows would mean the task is done in BULK. 20 single updates that each handle one row would mean it is row by row = slow by slow processing.

  • C++: Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?

    I have a remote procedure and I can call it using http over rpc. I pass trough an rpc proxy server for arriving to my rpc server.
    But I cannot call a callback function to my client inside the server function.
    Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?
    We are using IIS on windows server 2008 R2 and the server rpc and the client on the same PC with rpc rpoxy.
    If I use ncan_ip_tcp all works fine.

  • Re-using a function with minor changes to load sub Nav menu

    Hi.
    I have a function that loads xml and uses its to create a
    main navigation menu. When an object is selected the movie detects
    which button has been selected and traces the label for that
    button. I need to take this a step further and have a
    sub-navigation menu load when the "Home2" button is selected. As
    you can see from the comments in the code with 2 minor changes to
    the createBoxes function, the sub-nav menu can be loaded instead of
    the main nav menu. My problem is this, I need to main nav menu is
    be present at all times, I only need the sub nav to load when the
    Home 2 button is pressed and I somehow need to reuse the
    createBoxes function with the changes stated in the the comments in
    order to load the sub nav menu when required. I want to reuse this
    function (if possible) instead of duplicating the code in a new
    function.
    If anyone can show me how this is done I would be very
    greatful.
    Thanks
    Barry.

    basically the submenu will look exactly the same as the main
    menu, only it will be positioned to the right of it when the home2
    button is pressed. I then need it to unload when any other button
    is pressed. By changing the following lines in the current
    createBoxes function the submenu loads as I would like. I am just
    wondering if it is possible to pass in a couple of vars to change
    the lines of code as detailed below, depending on whether the home2
    button or one of the other mainn nav buttons is pressed.
    The code that when changed loads the submenu:
    In function createBoxes change var il:XMLList =
    xml.navigation.main_navigation; to var il:XMLList =
    xml.navigation.main_navigation.sub_navigation; . This loads the sub
    nav instead of the main nav but in the same position as the main
    nav.
    by also changing box.x = 100; to box.x = 260; in the function
    createBoxes the sub nav menu loads in the position I would like it
    to be.
    Now I am wondering if changing the code to something like the
    following (see attached code) could this work?

  • New User,need help, charging, using, everythi

    I recently bought a Zen V Plus and have no tech savy so need help. I've checked with support but don't get th answers I need so thought someone here could help. Here are my questions.
    1. Is there anything else that can be used as a charger besides a Zen product. I have several cell phone chargers both for house and can, can any of these be used? need to save money
    2. Can the Zen be used while charging? All I get is the docked message and nothing else?
    3. I use my player mainly for audio books and the battery doesn't hold for a whole book so I have to charge but when I do the book goes? back to the first part instead of holding my place. I do I hold my place?
    Anybody that can give me simple clear answers please help. Because of my age I have trouble reading and the player allows me to enjoy books but I have trouble understanding how to make it work. Don't laugh but my 3 year old grandson would probably have better luck with getting it to work.
    Thanks for any help provided

    Li'vewolf,
    First, no three year old will do better than you can with the player. That said, spend some time reading the tutorials listed under support at the top of this page, and use the search in this forum to find everything you can about the Zen V Plus.
    When I shut down my Zen V plus, while reading my current audiobook, I just hit the pause button and then pull down the slide button on the left for "shutting down". Some of my books seem to do better with just a shut down instead of pause first. I have found that the bookmark feature is more trouble than it is worth. I use audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've and a few extra from a forum on audiobooks. It seems that they all work differently when shutting down and holding a place.
    Anyway, spend some time trying different methods of bookmarking. The Zen V Plus is fairly forgiving player.
    Best Wishes.

    One more thought for recharging your battery. Try Amazon or eBay for a recharger, if you can't afford the Creative charger, but remember that you can fry the player if you use the wrong one and the warranty doesn't cover that damage. The easiest and cheapest way to recharge is to use the computer.

    You can use any number of the String methods to acomplish this.
    I would proabably go with something like: slice(...) + input + substr(...);
