Split data and insert into different rows

I have a string like 'sfdsf,sfdsf,sfsd,qweqeqw,iuoi,"
I have created a single column table
I have to extract data from first untill comma(,) occurs and insert into the table like the following
sfdsdf
sfdsf
sfsd
qweqeqw
iuoi
Please help me how to do it

Or a Single SQL query
SELECT trim(',' from DECODE(ROWNUM,1,SUBSTR(STR,1,INSTR(STR,',',1)),
                                    LENGTH(STR)-LENGTH(REPLACE(STR,','))+1,SUBSTR(STR,INSTR(STR,',',-1,1)),
                                     SUBSTR(STR,INSTR(STR,',',1,ROWNUM-1), INSTR(STR,',',1,ROWNUM)-INSTR(STR,',',1,ROWNUM-1))
                               )) STR1
                 FROM (SELECT 'sfdsf,sfdsf,sfsd,qweqeqw,iuoi' STR FROM DUAL),ALL_TABLES
                 WHERE ROWNUM <= LENGTH(STR)-LENGTH(REPLACE(STR,','))+1

How to parse a delimited string and insert into different columns?

Hi Experts,
I need to parse a delimited string ':level1_value:level2_value:level3_value:...' to 'level1_value', 'level2_value', etc., and insert them into different columns of one table as one row:
Table_Level (Level1, Level2, Level3, ...)
I know I can use substr and instr to get level value one by one and insert into Table, but I'm wondering if there's better ways to do it?
Thanks!

However, there is one tiny problem - the delimiter from the source system is a '|' When I replace your test query with | as delimiter instead of the : it fails. Interestingly, if I use ; it works. See below:

The "bar" or "pipe" symbol is a special character, also called a metacharacter.
If you want to use it as a literal in a regular expression, you will need to escape it with a backslash character (\).
Here's the solution -

PS - it works for semi-colon character ";" because it is not a metacharacter. So its literal value is considered by the regex engine for matching.

Best Practice to fetch SQL Server data and Insert into Oracle Tables

Hello,
I want to read sqlserver data everry half an hour and write into oracle tables ( in two different databases). What is the best practice for doing this?
We do not have any database dblinks from oracle to sqlserver and vice versa.
Any help is highly appreciable?
Thanks

Well, that's easy:
use a TimerTask to do the following every half an hour:
- open a connection to sql server
- open two connections to the oracle databases
- for each row you read from the sql server, do the inserts into the oracle databases
- commit
- close all connections

Parse xml data and insert into database

Hi Friends,
I have an xml document which needs to be parsed and the data need to be inserted into an oracle database table.
Please tell me which will be the easiest and optimal way of doing this.
Thanks,
Achayan

Take a look at the JDOM xml parsing library - google for JDOM download or something.
This will allow you to build an object representation of the XML doc, from which you can then extract the data.

Read data from E$ table and insert into staging table

Hi all,
I am a new to ODI. I want your help in understanding how to read data from an "E$" table and insert into a staging table.
Scenario:
Two columns in a flat file, employee id and employee name, needs to be loaded into a datastore EMP+. A check constraint is added to allow data with employee names in upper case only to be loaded into the datastore. Check control is set to flow and static. Right click on the datastore, select control and then check. The rows that have violated the check constraint are kept in E$_EMP+ table.
Problem:
Issue is that I want to read the data from the E$_EMP+ table and transform the employee name into uppercase and move the corrected data from E$_EMP+ into EMP+. Please advise me on how to automatically handle "soft" exceptions in ODI.
Thank you

Hi Himanshu,
I have tried the approach you suggested already. That works. However, the scenario I described was very basic. Based on the error logged into the E$_EMP table, I will have to design the interface to apply more business logic before the data is actually merged into the target table.
Before the business logic is applied, I need to read each row from the E$EMP table first and I do not know how to read from E$EMP table.

Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

Easy question here
I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
for example
9/4/09 10:00:01 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:02 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:03 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:04 AM 4 6 7 2
Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok
the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster. Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME." So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME! This little chunk of code .....
converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL." You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
Enjoy!

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )

Get the data from excel and insert into the database

I want to read the data from excel file, get the data from excel and insert into the database.

You can use the Apache POI HSSF API to read data from Excel files and you can use the Sun JDBC API to insert data in database.
This has nothing to do with JSP/JSTL.

RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.
