Rows in comma (,) separated format

Hi all,
Let's consider that my EMP table has the following data:
EmpID DeptID
101 10
102 10
103 10
104 20
105 20
106 30
107 20
Now I need a query to get the result as:
DeptID Emps
10 101,102,103
20 104,105,107
30 106
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
That's called String Aggregation . (Even if 101, 102, and 103 are numbers, '101,102,103' with the commas, is a string.)
[AskTom.oracle.com|http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2196162600402] shows several different ways to do it.
For convenience, you can't beat the first solution on that page, a user-defined aggregate function clled STRAGG.
Once you have STRAGG installed (it can be copied verbatim from that page) it can be used over and over in queries like:
SELECT    DeptID
,       STRAGG (EmpID)     AS Emps
FROM       emp
GROUP BY DeptID;Unfortunately, STRAGG is not so good at ordered output.
If order is important, then use one of the other solutions, like SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH, near the end of the page:
WITH got_r_num
     SELECT     DeptID
     ,     EmpID
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY DeptID
                         ORDER BY        EmpID
                       )     AS r_num
     FROM     emp
SELECT     DeptID
,     SUBSTR ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH ( EmpID, ',')
            , 2
            )     AS Emps
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
START WITH     r_num     = 1
CONNECT BY     r_rnum     = PRIOR r_num + 1
AND          DeptID     = PRIOR DeptID
;Sorry, I'm not at a database, so I can't test this.

For each work area , which i transfer to application server, i hv to separte each field by a comma separtaor.
TRANSFER wa to VA_FILENAME LENGTH 256 ENF OF LINE.
Suppose my work area has fields wa-f1 wa-f2 wa-f3, it should write in app server as value1, value2, value3 like wise....
Suggest me if there is any alternative function module to acheiver this like when we pass wa to fm, the fields should be comma separator,
Any other useful suggestions are welcome.

SharePoint 2013 - Split comma separated Column in to different row items in SharePoint 2013 Workflow or Event Handler

I have a requirement to take a String column that allows multiple fields i.e. "101;102,103,104",
and using a SPD 2013 workflow I want to split there values and then insert each Values into different list as separate items.
Eg:
I have a LIST A with the columns CustID, CustName and LIST B with the same Column Name with the below values
LIST A:
Cust ID
CustName
101
ABC, XYZ, CTSS, WIPROS, TCSS
I want to insert the above comma separated values in the below format(different Row)
LIST B:
CustID
CustName
101
ABC
101
XYZ
101
CTSS
101
WIPROS
101
TCSS

Hi,
Here is a codeplex solution can meet your reference:
Plumsail String Workflow Actions for SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online
http://spworkflowactions.codeplex.com/
We can use Split string workflow action to split the CustName value, then insert it to ListB.

File need to be read in different formats( Tab formatted, commas separated)

Hi All,
I am reading an input text file which can be in any of the format like tab formatted, commas separated or fixed format. How can i write a code to make it work for all these file format other than writing separately for the above three cases. Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Neslin.

As far as seperators are concerned you may read entire file to stirng table, then identify separator (i.e. if you find tab mark, you assume it is tab separated; if you find ";" mark you assume this is a column separator). Use SEARCH or FIND statement and then (after having the separator) loop at string table and split each entry at this separator. If none of the above was find (no separator or fixed one) split according to given fixed format.

Result may contain single string or comma separated need to split into rows

Hi, All... I've searched through the forums and found plenty on splitting comma separated into rows; though I'm struggling applying it to my situation. I have data that looks like the below where I need to split a value into multiple rows if it should be but the same field in the table may also contain a string that should not be separated (indicated by the "Array" field being 0 or 1)...
WITH t AS
(SELECT 1 as array, '"Banana", "Apple", "Pear"' as str FROM dual union all
SELECT 0, 'Fruit is delicious' FROM dual union all
SELECT 0, 'So are vegetables' FROM dual union all
SELECT 1, '"Bean", "Carrot", "Broccoli"' FROM dual union all
SELECT 1, '"Apple", "Banana"' FROM dual)I've looked through many of the connect_by posts on the forum and I haven't come across one that splits a field if it should be but doesn't if it should not be... may have missed it because there are plenty of these requests on the forum!
If you're feeling even more ambitious - the ultimate goal is to count the number of times a particular answer appears in an array - so notice the last portion of the data contains "Apple", "Banana"... the result would show:
RESULT
Banana             2
Apple              2
Pear               1
Bean               1
Carrot             1
Broccoli           1
Fruit is delicious
So are vegetablesI can always sort them later based on other fields in the table - but the result above would be my ultimate goal!
Any help is always appreciated. Thanks! 11g

Hi,
The examples you found should work for you. Just use a CASE expression to determine if str needs to be split or not, by looking at array.
Here's one way:
WITH     got_part_cnt     AS
     SELECT     array, str
     ,     CASE
              WHEN array = 0
              THEN 1
--              ELSE 1 + REGEXP_COUNT (str, '", "')     -- See note below
              ELSE 1 + ( ( LENGTH (str)
                              - LENGTH (REPLACE (str, '", "'))
                     / 4
          END          AS part_cnt
     FROM    t
,     cntr     AS
     SELECT LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     (
              SELECT MAX (part_cnt)     AS max_part_cnt
              FROM    got_part_cnt
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= max_part_cnt
,     got_sub_str          AS
     SELECT     CASE
              WHEN p.array = 0
              THEN p.str
              ELSE REGEXP_SUBSTR ( p.str
                               , '[^"]+'
                         , 1
                         , (2 * c.n) - 1
          END     AS sub_str
     FROM     got_part_cnt p
     JOIN     cntr           c ON c.n <= p.part_cnt
SELECT       sub_str
,       COUNT (*)     AS cnt
FROM       got_sub_str
GROUP BY sub_str
ORDER BY cnt          DESC
,            sub_str
{code}
The only database at hand right now is Oracle 10.2, which doesn't have REGEXP_COUNT. I had to use a complicated way of counting how many times '", "' occurs in str in order to test this in Oracle 10. Since you have Oracle 11, you can un-comment the line that uses REGEXP_COUNT in the first CASE expression, and remove the alternate ELSE clause (that is, the next 5 lines, up to END).
To make sure that this query is really paying attention to array, I added this row to the sample data:
{code}
SELECT 0, '"Bean", "Carrot", "Broccoli"' FROM dual union all
{code}
Even though str looks just like a delimited list, array=0 tells the query not to split it, so it produces these results:
{code}
SUB_STR                               CNT
Apple                                   2
Banana                                  2
"Bean", "Carrot", "Broccoli"            1
Bean                                    1
Broccoli                                1
Carrot                                  1
Fruit is delicious                      1
Pear                                    1
So are vegetables                       1

Comma separated column into rows for each value

experts,
I have a two column table. The second column has comma separated string values. How can I put the values separate for each comma separated and make one row for each value?
example,
column1 |   StringColumn
s1          |   test, joy, happy
s2          | USA, England, India
I want the result to be like below
column1   |    StringColumn
s1            |      test
s1            |      joy
s1            |      happy
s2            |     USA
s2            |     England
s2            |     India
thanks in advance

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)
