Regular exptression handling

Does Oracle have the ability to match strings on the full range of Unix-style regular expressions?
e.g. To find rows where col1 begins with a number, as you'd do it in a certain other flavour of SQL:
SELECT whatever FROM wherever
WHERE col1 MATCHES '[0-9]*'
Thanks
Andy Kent

You could use owa_pattern package which is part of Oracle IAS/OAS/OWS.
It is not a optimized code but work fine.
It is support expresion like awk or perl.
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: owa_pattern was written in plsql and then is portable to version 7+

  • Exception Handling Confusion!

    I require the following very basic functionality from a function.
    Create or Replace function fnc_get_col3 (a in number, b in number)
    return number
    as
    begin
    return select col3 from TAB1 where col1 = a and col2 = b;
    end fnc_get_util;
    My question is that can I use the regular exception handling (like 'No data found' and 'Too many rows') in above function when i am using the return and select statement in same line
    OR do i have to recreate this function as
    Create or Replace function fnc_get_col3 (a in number, b in number)
    return number
    as
    abc number(5);
    begin
    select col3 into abc from TAB1 where col1 = a and col2 = b;
    return abc;
    exception
    when no data found then
    dbms_ouput.put_line 'No data found'
    end fnc_get_util;
    Thanks in Advance

    Why do you believe it is syntactically valid to return a value this way? The first function does not compile and cannot compile so there is no exception handling to discuss

  • Dml error handling in 10g

    i have a procedure with an insert statement that is using the new oracle 10g dml error handling LOG ERRORS INTO err$_dest ('INSERT') REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    i understand this will execute when you have a violation like not null columns etc.
    according to oracle website, this command will fail if there is a space problem and everything will roll back. will i get an error message in such scenario and can i use regular exception handling to handle this.
    example code
    begin
    insert into dest values(1, 'smith', 1234, 'dest')
    LOG ERRORS INTO err$_dest ('INSERT') REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    exception when others
    //login error cause by log errors command
    end;

    The inserts into the err$_dest table will NOT be rolled back as they are autonomous transactions. We were able to handle other errors such as tablespace sizing issues in the exception section.

  • Regular Expressions and XML Schemas

    The standard regular expression syntax in JDK1.4 doesn't support some of the constructs used by pattern facets in XML schemas.
    For example the "Name" type is specified by the pattern "\i\c*" but the java.util.regex regular expression handler throws an exception when it encounters this with the following message:
    Illegal/unsupported escape squence near index 1
    Is anyone aware of any regular expression java libraries or tools that will cope with the XML syntax?

    Thanks, but perhaps I should clarify. I realise that \i\c* is invalid syntax in the java regexp handler. My point is that in XML Schema regular expressions \i is meaningful - in fact it means
    "the set of initial name characters, those matched by Letter | '_' | ':' "
    I was wondering if anyone knew of a regular expression library that understood and correctly interpreted that.

  • Regular expression usage question

    Hi there.
    I have a 200 bytes EBCDIC variable record which I need to break down into fields. Fields are positional and are either text, binary numbers, packed-decimal and 64bytes long numbers.
    My question is. Can regular expression handle this complex data.
    I want to isolate each field into their corresponding format. EBCDIC into ASCII text, binary into java Integer and so on.
    The reason for using reqular expression is because the record format could change and regular expression would be easier to modify without having to change the code.
    Your words of advice are highly appreciated.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Ulises

    Regular expressions? I don't think so.
    If you have a situation where positions 1-3 might be a binary number like client number, and the format might change so it moves to positions 12-14, then you could certainly write a record-format class to encapsulate that sort of information. In fact that would be a very good idea. But I can't imagine how a regular expression would help in getting a number out of three bytes, for example.

  • Large number of JSP performance

    Hi,
    a colleague of me made tests with a large number of JSP and identified a
    performance problem.
    I believe I found a solution to his problem. I tested it with WLS 5.1 SP2
    and SP3 and MS jview SDK 4.
    The issue was related to the duration of the initial call of the nth JSP,
    our situation as we are doing site hosting.
    The solution is able to perform around 14 initial invocations/s no matter if
    the invocation is the first one or the
    3000th one and the throughput can go up to 108 JSPs/s when the JSP are
    already loaded, the JSPs being the
    snoopservlet example copied 3000 times.
    The ratio have more interest than the values as the test machine (client and
    WLS 5.1) was a 266Mhz laptop.
    I repeat the post of Marc on 2/11/2000 as it is an old one:
    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if any of you has experienced performance issue whendeploying
    a lot of JSPs.
    I'm running Weblogic 4.51SP4 with performance pack on NT4 and Jdk1.2.2.
    I deployed over 3000 JSPs (identical but with a distinct name) on myserver.
    I took care to precompile them off-line.
    To run my tests I used a servlet selecting randomly one of them and
    redirecting the request.
    getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(randomUrl).forward(request,response);
    The response-time slow-down dramaticaly as the number of distinct JSPs
    invoked is growing.
    (up to 100 times the initial response time).
    I made some additional tests.
    When you set the properties:
    weblogic.httpd.servlet.reloadCheckSecs=-1
    weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=..., pageCheckSeconds=-1, ...
    Then the response-time for a new JSP seems linked to a "capacity increase
    process" and depends on the number of previously activated JSPs. If you
    invoke a previously loaded page the server answers really fast with no
    delay.
    If you set previous properties to any other value (0 for example) the
    response-time remains bad even when you invoke a previously loaded page.SOLUTION DESCRIPTION
    Intent
    The package described below is design to allow
    * Fast invocation even with a large number of pages (which can be the case
    with Web Hosting)
    * Dynamic update of compiled JSP
    Implementation
    The current implementation has been tested with JDK 1.1 only and works with
    MS SDK 4.0.
    It has been tested with WLS 5.1 with service packs 2 and 3.
    It should work with most application servers, as its requirements are
    limited. It requires
    a JSP to be able to invoke a class loader.
    Principle
    For a fast invocation, it does not support dynamic compilation as described
    in the JSP
    model.
    There is no automatic recognition of modifications. Instead a JSP is made
    available to
    invalidate pages which must be updated.
    We assume pages managed through this package to be declared in
    weblogic.properties as
    weblogic.httpd.register.*.ocg=ocgLoaderPkg.ocgServlet
    This definition means that, when a servlet or JSP with a .ocg extension is
    requested, it is
    forwarded to the package.
    It implies 2 things:
    * Regular JSP handling and package based handling can coexist in the same
    Application Server
    instance.
    * It is possible to extend the implementation to support many extensions
    with as many
    package instances.
    The package (ocgLoaderPkg) contains 2 classes:
    * ocgServlet, a servlet instantiating JSP objects using a class loader.
    * ocgLoader, the class loader itself.
    A single class loader object is created.
    Both the JSP instances and classes are cached in hashtables.
    The invalidation JSP is named jspUpdate.jsp.
    To invalidate an JSP, it has simply to remove object and cache entries from
    the caches.
    ocgServlet
    * Lazily creates the class loader.
    * Retrieves the target JSP instance from the cache, if possible.
    * Otherwise it uses the class loader to retrieve the target JSP class,
    create a target JSP
    instance and stores it in the cache.
    * Forwards the request to the target JSP instance.
    ocgLoader
    * If the requested class has not the extension ocgServlet is configured to
    process, it
    behaves as a regular class loader and forwards the request to the parent
    or system class
    loader.
    * Otherwise, it retrieves the class from the cache, if possible.
    * Otherwise, it loads the class.
    Do you thing it is a good solution?
    I believe that solution is faster than standard WLS one, because it is a
    very small piece of code but too because:
    - my class loader is deterministic, if the file has the right extension I
    don't call the classloader hierarchy first
    - I don't try supporting jars. It has been one of the hardest design
    decision. We definitely need a way to
    update a specific page but at the same time someone post us NT could have
    problems handling
    3000 files in the same directory (it seems he was wrong).
    - I don't try to check if a class has been updated. I have to ask for
    refresh using a JSP now but it could be an EJB.
    - I don't try to check if a source has been updated.
    - As I know the number of JSP I can set pretty accurately the initial
    capacity of the hashtables I use as caches. I
    avoid rehash.

    Use a profiler to find the bottlenecks in the system. You need to determine where the performance problems (if you even have any) are happening. We can't do that for you.

    I dont know the upper limit, but I think 80 is too much. I have never used more than 15-20. For Nav attributes, a seperate tables are created which causes the Performance issue as result in new join at query run time. Just ask your business guy, if these can be reduced.One way could be to model these attributes as seperate characteristics. It will certainly help.

  • TextField on ios is above the displaylist

    I created form that uses several TextFields of "input" type and while those behave fine on Android on IOS, when I select textfield its "native" part shows up above the display list, so whenever i scroll my form under other parts of the application it is fully showing on top with the cursor, text entered and little "x". Is there any way to cure it? I'm baning against the wall here.
    I know there is stagetext native component that should act like that but i'm using just regular textfield and i don't want any nice features but i want it to be part of my app not above it. Again, on android it acts perfectly normal.
    Target device: iPod 4gen iOS 5
    SDK: 4.6 + AIR 3.1
    If anyone has any thoughts please help.
    I'm thinking this is just a framework bug...

    I am not using any flex framework classes.
    I am using bare bones TextField with .type = TextFieldType.INPUT but i think what is happening when you FOCUS_IN to that field, Adobe adds a native component on top which on ios is pretty crude and causes the issue i described. I guess i'll have to do some interface tweaking so i don't need to slide my form under anything....
    Adobe, please improve regular text handling on ios to have benefits from native but act normally within the display list!
    Another bug i saw is that every time you switch between 2 input textfields the "softkeyboardevent.deactivate" gets fired up even though it shouldnt and it doesn't on android.
    And another bug is settings "Stage.focus = null" to defocus text field programatticaly has no effect on "ios"
    And another bug is: sometimes native tip-like label shows up over your typed text and when the textfield gets moved it doesn't follow it.
    Overall, input text handling seems pretty buggy and unfinished, hopefully this gets addressed very soon, since it is the core functionality.

  • Configuring call handlers in CCM-Business Edition v8

    thks a lot for u help
    Edgar ...

    You can just use the same DN for the call handler and the CTI RP and avoid routing rules. (depends on call flow)
    Just record your greeting with the options you mention, create as many call handlers as options you need and then use the caller input config to send the calls to each option as needed.
    For #2 you can send them to a call system transfer or a regular call handler. Depends if you expect them to dial only VM users or not.

  • How pervasive is this regex bug?  Is there an official bug ID?

    Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE? If so, does it have a bug number I can reference? I don't have support, I'm just evaluating Oracle Database offerings for our company.
    The bug: With 10g 2 Oracle released support for non-greedy quantifiers in regular expressions. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25518/adfns_regexp.htm#autoId6
    However, it has bugs.
    SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production on Tue May 28 22:20:07 2013
    Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.  All Rights Reserved.
    SQL> select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux,','.*b.*?,') from dual;
    REGEXP_SUBSTR(
    foo, bar, qux,
    SQL> select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux,','.*?b.*,') from dual;
    REGEXP_SU
    foo, bar,and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production. This is obviously a bug. One can argue about the differing possible interpretations of the sequence `.\*?`, but there is nothing that suggest `b.\*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I have a dozen other examples if you want. So my question is that since this has been a bug in released production code for over a year, is there a bug/defect number I can use to track it's eventual resolution? I don't have a support contract to ask support directly because I'm just evaluating right now. I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.
    Fixed * interpreted as markup

    Oracle has a bug in their regular expression handling in 10g 2 and 11g 2. Is this bug also in XE?If a bug exists in Oracle Database 11.2.0.2, it's very likely to exist in 11.2 XE as well, as 11.2 XE is based on that version.
    and same results on SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 ProductionThis is no matter of SQL*Plus, as this is only the client, while the query you execute is processed by the database you're connected to.
    Despite that, I wonder how it comes you have SQL*Plus 11.2.0.1.0 on your machine, because XE ships with 11.2.0.2. But this has no impact on your issue...
    but there is nothing that suggest `b.*,` shouldn't pick up `qux`. I'm not sure about that. It's a question of where your "preceding" definition ends and how you interprete the documentation. See the differences (or no difference) when using subgroups to separate greedy and nongreedy operators explicitly, e. g.
    select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?(b.*,)') from dual;
    -- or even
    select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*?b)(.*,)') from dual; return foo, bar,, which would fit the "first string to match" strategy documented for regexp_substr.
    On the other hand, you could enforce the behaviour you seem to expect with making the greedy subgroup explicit.
    select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','.*?b(.*,)') from dual;
    -- or
    select regexp_substr('foo, bar, qux, ','(.*b)(.*?,)') from dual; will return your complete string.
    Of course, you can always argue on whether you should "reuse" characters for different groups when evaluating the regex. From my personal experience, using explicit subgroups helps structuring (and understanding) your regex and makes moving through different implementations easier...
    I'm trying to push for Oracle but bugs like this make it hard for me to use the argument that Oracle is relatively bug free.This is mostly a point of view, as your "relatively" indicates...

  • Advanced String Manipulation Using REGEXP

    Hello all,
    I've been trying to split a string using either REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE functions with much success so I wonder whether anyone here can give me a hand. Basically the string I want to split in to 3 is in this format:
    'instanceno;partno;serialno'
    I have read numerous articles within last few days but I still can't get it to working (I'm sure due to my lack of regular expression handling knowledge in OBIEE). I found two articles discussing similar scenarios. One in here and the other one is here. Both of those are good, but I cannot apply those principles to my query as I'm keep getting issues with the use of semicolon (;).
    Could someone explain to me how to split this string so I can have 3 separate columns, please?
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Anuhas,
    you have to create 3 columns in the report on 3 attribute columns inside le Logical Model with this syntax for the the string str = 'instanceno;partno;serialno'
    COLUMN1 = evaluate('regexp_substr(%1,''[^\;]+'', 1,1)',REPLACE(*str*,';','\;'))
    COLUMN2 = evaluate('regexp_substr(%1,''[^\;]+'', 1,2)',REPLACE(*str*,';','\;'))
    COLUMN3 = evaluate('regexp_substr(%1,''[^\;]+'', 1,3)',REPLACE(*str*,';','\;'))
    You have to use the REPLACE function (; --> \;) because the ; is e special character
    In this way you have:
    COLUMN1 = instanceno
    COLUMN2 = partno
    COLUMN3 = serialno
    The regex_substr(a,b,c) contains:
    a = str the string
    b = [^\;]+ find for the beginning of the string the character ;
    c = number of occurrence
    I hope it hepls.

  • Pluggable Mapping Won't Fully Synchronize

    I'm hoping there is perhaps just a config setting of some kind that governs how a pluggable mapping is embedding in a real mapping that is causing my problems.
    The situation:
    -Mapping A is my actual mapping.
    -Mapping B is my pluggable mapping which implements a whole mess of stuff, including a very large and complex Joiner operator.
    -Mapping A uses pluggable mapping B.
    The problem:
    I recently discovered that I had some errors in the join condition used by the Joiner in pluggable mapping B. I modified the join condition, etc, and saved. I then went into Mapping A and did an inbound sync on the pluggable mapping operator so that mapping A would pick up the changes I made to the join condition in pluggable mapping B.
    Mapping A does not pick up the changes to the join condition when in generates. I have inspected the generated SQL by hand to confirm. I'm now afraid that syncing a pluggable mapping operator only picks up signature changes? But it seems absurd that when using a pluggable mapping in a regular mapping, the internals of the pluggable mapping would get so fully embedded before even generating, and that the only thing you can later change without having to delete and re-add the pluggable mapping operator is the signature?
    Does anyone have any insight? I would really appreciate any thoughts. In reality, this pluggable mapping is used not by one, but by many regular mappings, and implements some really ugly logic that has a very wide input and out signature. So I really want to avoid that obvious solution of having to simply delete the pluggable mapping operator from the main mappings and add it again (which I'm darn sure would work), and have to reattach all the connections. It would take hours and hours.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    -John

    Well David, I owe you an apology for wasting both our time.
    I have looked at it with a pair of fresh eyes this morning, and the problem was mine. As I think I mentioned in my original post, this pluggable mapping is actually used by a large number of regular mappings (about 15). Each of these regular mappings handle a different step in the loading a primary target table.
    In my confusion, I had missed a sync in one or two, and had apparently been bouncing back and forth between one I had synced, and one I had not when looking at generated code. This caused me to think the syncing and generation were not occurring properly.
    Too many late hours I'm afraid...
    So again, I apologize for the wild goose chase, but really appreciated your input. It appears that the problem is solved (or never even existed) !

  • Speedgrade doesn't recognise my files they are AVCHD Video (.MTS)

    Hello That my first time I'm using speedgrade and I do see the box with the names of my video file, but I don't get a previews I did shoot the footage with a sony vg20.
    thank you very much ,sorry for my English.

    If you have access to the CC versions of Sg, you've also probably got access to PrPro. The way the Adobe stuff is designed is that PrPro is sort of the 'entry' program for footage. It handles nearly every codec except some of the RAW formats and most variable-frame-rate stuff (cell phone 'footage' et al). Or you can say use Adobe's Media Encoder (also on the CC list) and transcode to take either AVCHD or MP4 footage into perhaps DNxHD for grading into Speedgrade without using PrPro.
    Speedgrade's design team works on the grading end of things, and kinda figures that PrPro & AME can do the heavy-lifting to get other codecs into a usable form. Like many folks these days, I use both PrPro & Speedgrade ... so I load a project into PrPro, start some basic editing ... and the direct-to-Speedgrade link is so fast that I'll take even just sections or clips from sequences at times and run over to Sg, check out what they grade like ... then go back into PrPro. Takes seconds each way. And that way, ANY format that PrPro can use loads into Speedgrade without a hitch nor hassle. No XML files, no EDL's, no DPX, no transcoding ... slick as anything.
    So, no, it isn't actually completely ridiculous ... though it can be a bit annoying. Look at the files Sg handles "native" ... things like RED, Arri, Alexxa, that sort of thing. That's because it's designed to do dailies with the most heavily used major cameras for large projects. I've always kind of wondered, as many tv stations as use cameras that shoot AVCHD, why that wasn't on the list but oh well. They figure for "regular" work handling things coming in from a PrPro project works great, and why re-invent the wheel when it works just great in PrPro?
    For grading, Speedgrade is an awesome program. Though I can certainly give you a critique of both where they've done incredibly well and where they, like any other human, could perhaps improve something maybe. And they have heard plenty of those comments direct from me ... and when I got down to NAB last March, they were still thrilled to meet in person the guy that complained so much. Really nifty group of people working on it.
    So join the group ... and feel free to complain about things! Hey, the rest of us sure do ...

  • WRT150N keeps locking up / freezing

    Hi!  Just about a month ago I bought the WRT150N wireless router to use in my home office.  Seems that for whatever reason, the WRT150N needs to be unplugged/plugged back in at least once every other day.  I have tried the Linksys support tips, especially the one about MTU...my MTU is 1500 no question so no need to change it in the WRT150N.  The issue far as I can tell seems to be with the router overheating and locking up during periods of moderate use or especially after I have remote controlled (RDP) into any of the Windows systems for any lengthy period (an hour or more).  The reason I know it's overheating is because I have tried to do things like download several large files at once while using the Internet, etc.  I downloaded several Linux distro's at once and a few large Microsoft trial products all at the same time on two different systems as a test.  Sure enough, about an hour into the test...my router froze up and stopped working...wired and wireless networking came to a halt...and the whole thing was effectively dead. I have Time Warner Road Runner service also, and I have contacted them to ask about my cable modem (Motorola) and my service.  They said they have not seen any recent issues in my area, nor is there an issue with my cable modem.  I got to thinking that maybe I am making it process too much, so I checked the configs out...but the ONLY thing I really have running that I figure would add overhead and extra work in addition to regular traffic handling is the built-in SPI Firewall...which I DO have enabled.  I have heard of this problem before with other Linksys routers such as the venerable WRT54G...  I am an IT pro with wired and wireless network experience, but none of that knowledge seemed to help - maybe I am missing something - who knows.
    Has anyone else had this problem with this WRT150N wireless router?
    I am of the impression that this product just is not built to withstand even a moderate amount of traffic through it, and am really questioning the quality and workmanship of this product at this point.
    Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Sorry I took so long to respond, direct connect makes no difference...like Astrobratt said, unfortunately it seems to be the traffic throughput that this thing can't handle.  I wonder how many other people are having this problem?  This thing is within the warranty period, but I have heard that Linksys doesn't support this WRT150N any more.  At any rate, I think it's the hardware at the moment...but a firmware update I suppose could help with traffic handling because after all it's all about the handling of data packets and maybe the logic in the firmware isn't quite where it should be quality-wise?  I am not a router engineering expert, but that is my bet - that it's either firmware that needs to be improved, or hardware that just doesn't cut it.  After having the Linksys WRT54G for nearly 6 years, having put it into mothballs after 2 years, then pulling it back out when a NetGear WPN824 I bought just flat out died shortly after it's warranty expired...was a testament to the quality of the WRT54G.  That thing lasted 6 years!  The WRT150N...seems like it's already on its last legs and I practically just pulled the thing out of the box and set it up!  And to think Linksys is a subdivision of the mighty Cisco?  Doesn't seem to mean much.  The WRT54G was built and sold before Cisco took over Linksys ...and it shows with the quality of this WRT150N.  My verdict will be to dump this thing, it's definitely not a SOHO router that can support a small home office and business like I need...  I am no longer a Linksys fan, to be totally honest.

  • File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

    File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

    I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
    Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
    You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
    Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?
