Replace Function on CLOB

Hi all, i am new to this forum and i hope everyone is doing great.
I have a question on CLOB objects.
I am working on Oracle 8i and i have CLOB object coming from DB2 data base.
Can i apply Replace or Translate function on CLOB data? Because i have special characters like %$^@#. I want to replace all these.
Can anyone help me .
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
This article uses DBMS_LOB to mimic the standard replace function for a CLOB. It's for 9i but it may be worth a try to see if it will work on 8i too.

Hope this helps

Replace function for CLOB

I have CLOB column and want to do a select with a replace kind of function- replacing certain characters. E.g. if body is a CLOB field, I need
select Clobreplace(body,'abcdef','123456') from t1;
Does anyone have a function or equivalent to do this?
Thanks

There isn't one readymade. However, it would be relatively simple to write one yourself. You would need to iterate around the input clob doing the following:[list]
[*]use DBMS_LOB.INSTR to locate occurances of the token;
[*]use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR to segment your input CLOB using the offset from the INSTR call;
[*]write each segment appended with the replacement string to a temporary LOB;
[*]return the temporary LOB
[list]
I suggest you have a play around with the logic of this using SQL SUBSTR and INSTR on a varchar2 string. Once you understand what you're doing you can introduce the complication of operating on a CLOB.
Good luck, APC

Replace function not working for XML CLOB data

Hi all,
I am generating XML using DBMS_XMLGEN in oracle 10g. After generating the XML, I am replacing the ROW tags with appropriate tag name using REPLACE function. Sometimes the tag name is not replaced correctly.
Eg.I am replacing </Cargo_ROW> with </CargoDetail>. But sometimes in one xml, this tag is coming as </CargoDetROW> or </CargoDetaiW>. The XML size is always huge and the same tag is repeated so many time in the loop and in the same XML, only one tag will be replaced incorrectly. This also not happening for all XMLs.
If any one knows the cause about this problem or solution, please share the same.
thanks,

Yes Anton, you are right..
It was typecasting problem

Prolem in CLOB replace function

Hi,
I am working on Oracle 10g (release 2).
Currently facing problem in replace function
My given patterns are
Replace(+string+, varchar2, clob)
Replace(+String+, clob, clob)
In both casese, I'm getting ORA-22828 error.
Can anyone please suggest the solution.
Thanks.

Problem in execution of a function having clob datatype

[http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/128331/98870/]
Hi,
I had a Problem in executing a function having clob datatype.
Here below is my function.
create or replace type split_obj as object
 occurence_id number(10,0),
 splitvalue varchar2(1000)
create or replace type split_rec as table of split_obj;
create or replace FUNCTION Split_new1(
 p_string IN clob,
 p_delimiter IN VARCHAR2
 ) return split_rec pipelined is
 v_length NUMBER := dbms_lob.getlength(p_string);
 v_start NUMBER := 1;
 v_index NUMBER;
 V_temp NUMBER(10,0):=0;
 begin
WHILE(v_start <= v_length)
 LOOP
 v_index := dbms_lob.INSTR(p_string, p_delimiter, v_start);
 IF v_index = 0 THEN
 V_temp:=V_temp+1;
 PIPE ROW(split_obj(v_temp,dbms_lob.SUBSTR(p_string, v_length,v_start)));
 v_start := v_length + 1;
 ELSE
 v_temp:=v_temp+1;
 PIPE ROW(split_obj(v_temp,dbms_lob.SUBSTR(p_string, v_index - v_start,v_start)));
 v_start := v_index + 1;
 END IF;
 END LOOP;
 return;
 end Split_new1;Here attached link contains the procedure trying to execute the function with huge string more than 400kb.
Could you pls let me know how to do the same in sqlplus and toad.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that in your execution of this you are trying to assign a value to the clob variable using
v_clob := '<string>'
where the string is greater than allowed in PL/SQL.
Whilst the CLOB itself can hold more data, the string is actually the equivalent of a VARCHAR2 so cannot exceed VARCHAR2 limits.
You should use the DBMS_LOB package to append data to your CLOB in chunks of no more than 32767 characters at a time.??? PL/SQL provides full CLOB support. There is no need to use DBMS_LOB (although you could). OP's function has logic errors. Anyway:

SQL Replace function: errors if replacement text is 8191 characters

Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition
I'm working on an application which has a function to generate emails.
We have a template, which gets filled with data from the database depending on the email being sent.
To do this I'm using the Replace function to replace certain parts of the template with the right data.
It seems that if the replacement text (the third argument to the function) is longer than 8191 bytes the function throws a PL/SQL: numeric or value error.
This limitation doesn't appear to be documented anywhere, certainly nowhere that I can find.
Anyone know of a way around this short of building my own replace function?

I've figured out what was going on.
The database column for the replacement text is defined as a clob, but there is a front end limit of 10,000 characters for the field being used.
When using the replace function I was assigning the value to a varchar2(32767) field in the PL/SQL.
So in terms of datatypes the function call is:
varchar2 := replace(varchar2, varchar2, clob)
If the length of the clob is over 8191 characters it errors.
(Presumably because of the bug mentioned in this thread DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR() returning 8191 characters instead of 32767
I've fixed it by simply changing the datatype of the variable to which the value is being assigned to a clob.

Can I use Replace function in a decode??

Hello,
I am trying to use replace function inside a Decode Function,
Here is how I am doing it:
select
SUBSTR (
DECODE (
IH.DRVD_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_PRIM_FLAG,
'N',
REPLACE (
ih.subs_addr_1
|| ' '
|| ih.subs_addr_2
|| ' '
|| ih.subs_city
|| ','
|| ih.subs_state_code
|| ' '
|| ih.subs_zip_code,
'Y',
REPLACE (
IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_1
|| ' '
|| IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_2
|| ' '
|| IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_3
|| ' '
|| IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_4
|| ' '
|| IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_5
|| ' '
|| IH.PRINT_ALT_MAIL_ADDR_LINE_6,
) 1,
50
address from x
Can anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong here, It always gives me an error about missing a right parenthesis.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jimmy,
Looks like you are missing the first comma in the SUBSTR function

Replace() function doesn't work in Application Designer?

I'm using PeopleSoft Application Designer 8.51. I'm trying to do a simple Replace function so I can escape single quotes rather than allow them to blow up the sql query.
&deptid = Replace(&deptid, "'", "''");
App Designer chokes when I hit Save: "Invalid function parameter type. (2,19)"
According to the docs I'm using this correctly: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26239_01/pt851h3/eng/psbooks/tace/book.htm?File=tace/htm/tace14.htm#H4095
Even if I try to execute the example right out of the documentation, I get the same error: REPLACE("StringFun", "Fun", "Number");
Is this a bug in app designer? REPLACE is a super common thing, it's not something obscure. How can this not work?
Thanks in advance.

I figured this out. “Replace” is a strange duck function that relies on offsets. “Substitute” is the magic I needed, works just like I was expecting Replace to work. The documentation I was reading on Replace was for “ PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine” rather than peoplecode. I’ll pay closer attention to that next time. Maybe this will help someone else...

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!

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.

SQL replace function in JDeveloper

In SQL*Plus I run the following queries...
select last_name, phone_number from employees
LAST_NAME PHONE_NUMBER
Chung 650.505.1876
Dilly 650.505.2876
Gates 916.764.6600
select last_name, replace (phone_number, '.', '-') from employees
LAST_NAME REPLACE(PHONE_NUMBER
Chung 650-505-1876
Dilly 650-505-2876
Gates 916-764-6600
If I try to use the "REPLACE" function in the JDeveloper by editing the sql statement in the view object editor and run the page the results returned for the phone number column on the page are blank.
How can I substitute a dash for the period on the page?

Try using AS:
select last_name, replace (phone_number, '.', '-') AS phone_number from employees
In this case is recommended for your VO a read only query.

Replace Function in Cold Fusion

Hello All,
The code below does the following: It finds an item in Spanish (in this case it's GetBasket.options, 2) and add `SPA` to the SKU code.
<cfif ListContains(GetBasket.options, 2)><option value="2"><cfset basketsku = GetBasket.SKU & "SPA"></option></cfif>
How do I do the following?
The SKU code is a 5 digit code for all languages. For example: the SKU code in English is 902013, but the SKU code for Spanish is 903013. As you can see the 3rd number is being replaced with 3. It will be standard for all items in Spanish. How do I modify the code above to replace the 3rd number with 3?
Thank you all very much in advance!

not sure if you found an answer to this question but if you use the Replace function you can do this.
Replace(DB.value, 2, 3 )

Replace function in TT7

Hi,
I have a database in TT Release 7.0.3.1.0 and other in Release 11.2.2.4.0. I need use replace sql function over Release 7.0.3.1.0.
I know that it not apply in this version but I've tried with ttIsqlCS in node with TT11 through connection in database TT7 but I received this error:
ttIsqlCS database_test_R7
Command> select replace('asjkhdfkhaskdh','a','1') from dual;
2818: Unknown function REPLACE
The command failed.
Command> version;
TimesTen Release 11.2.2.4.0
Any idea ??
Thanks in advance.
Babs.

Hi Babs,
I am afraid that you are out of luck. SQL is implemented in the TimesTen engine/libraries not in the ttIsql client. Since 7.0 SQL does not have th REPLACE() function there is no way to execute that in 7.0 regardless of the client you use. You'll need to find some other option to accomplish what you require (maybe upgrade the 7.0 database to 11.2.2?).

Replace function in JDeveloper 3.2

Hi JDev Team:
Are there any global replace functions in JDev 3.2, for instance I have one word, say 'aaaa', in all of my projct files, .jsp, .java, .... I like to replace with 'bbbb'.
Thanks

The JDeveloper Editor provides Search & Replace functionality for files.
What I typically do is
Select menu: Search | Search Source Path...
Enter Search String and Change Source path
and other fields and press Start
Then the Navigator displays a Search tab which lists all files with the matching string.
Double click on first file in navigator and
select menu Search | Replace
In this dialog enter your search, replace, and other options-
In the Options, If you do not want to be prompted, do not check the Prompt on replace option.
Select the Scope of Global
Selectg the Origin of Entire
When you are ready press the Multiple button to make multiple replacements.
When you are done with this file,
Press Ctrl-S to Save the file
Press Ctrl-F4 to close the window
Double click on the Next File
Press Ctrl-R to invoke the Search | Replace dialog.
You should not need to change any options.
Press Alt-M to select the Multiple Button!
While this may seem more complex then a simple Sed / Perl / Python script, it is more controllable, flexible and user friendly.
Besides, you may learn a few JDeveloper tricks.
Good Luck,
-John

REPLACE function in PSP for formatting

Hi everyone,
I am coding PL/SQL server pages at the moment and am trying to produce an onscreen report.
 I was just wondering if it is possible to use the REPLACE function to replace a part of a string with the same thing but in bold?
for example, I have tried:

htp.p('<TD WIDTH="43%" valign="top" align="left">'||REPLACE(var_comments,'''TEST''',||'TEST'||')'||'</TD>'); but it isn't working. I just wanted to check it was possible and if so, where am I going wrong??

Thanks in advance!

This will work:
htp.p('<TD WIDTH="43%" valign="top" align="left">'||REPLACE(var_comments,'''TEST''',||'TEST'||')'||'</TD>');I also suggest generating your table HTML using the htp.table... procedures.
