Split string function in oracle ...

Hello,
Little question, is there any split string function available in Oracle.
SQL> select more_info
2 from dba_advisor_findings;

Allocated Space:4390912: Used Space:4237403: Reclaimable Space :153509:
select more_info as Allocated_Space,

Thanks,

I explored more on SUBSTR and INSTR string functions ... and below is the solution
select substr(more_info,instr(more_info,':',1,1)+1,instr(more_info,':',1,2)-instr(more_info,':',1,1)-1) as "Allocated_Space",
substr(more_info,instr(more_info,':',1,3)+1,instr(more_info,':',1,4)-instr(more_info,':',1,3)-1) as "Used_Space",
substr(more_info,instr(more_info,':',1,5)+1,instr(more_info,':',1,6)-instr(more_info,':',1,5)-1) as "Reclaimable_Space"
from dba_advisor_findings;
Allocated_Space
Used_Space
Reclaimable_Space

String function in Oracle 9i to find part of string having two positions

Hi,
We need to extract the part of string having start and end position.
Like
Suppose the string is "TYPE ref_cur_type IS REF CURSOR" and need to extract name of the ref cursor i.e ref_cur_type.The length of the output is not fixed. But not able to extract the exact string.
Thanks,

What is the criteria for part of string? Do you give start character and end character position like 3,9 etc? Or its just that the word that comes between two spaces?
Cheers
Sarma.

Function in oracle to find number of occurances of a character in a string

hi,
is there any function in oracle to find the number of ocurrances of a character in a string ?
or is there any simple way of doing the same, rather than writting many lines of code as my program is already very complex.
Maria

Hi Maria,
I don't know of such a function in Oracle, but maybe you could use this:
length(search_string) - length(replace(search_string, character_to_be_found))
For example: select length('Hello') - length ( replace('Hello', 'l')) from dual;
Hope this is what you're looking for

[OT] User-Defined string Functions Oracle PL/SQL

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to offer the following string functions Oracle PL/SQL:
GETALLWORDS(): Inserts the words from a string into the table.
GETWORDCOUNT(): Counts the words in a string.
GETWORDNUM(): Returns a specified word from a string.
OCCURS(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (including overlaps).
OCCURS2(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (excluding overlaps).
PADC(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides.
STRTRAN(): Searches a character expression for occurrences of a second character expression, and then replaces each occurrence with a third character expression. Unlike a built-in function Replace, STRTRAN has three additional parameters.
STRFILTER(): Removes all characters from a string except those specified.
RAT(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string (including overlaps). The search performed by RAT() is case-sensitive. RAT similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
ATC(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character (including overlaps). The search performed by ATC() is case-insensitive. ATC similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
RATC(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string (including overlaps). The search performed by RATC() is case-insensitive. RATC similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
AT2(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character (excluding overlaps). The search performed by AT2() is case-sensitive. AT2 similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
REPLICATE(): Returns a character string that contains a specified character expression repeated a specified number of times.
ROMANTOARAB(): Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman numeral expression (from I to MMMCMXCIX).
Plus, there are versions for MS SQL SERVER, SYBASE ASA, DB2, MS SQL SERVER 2005 SQLCLR.
More than 8000 people have already downloaded my functions. I hope you will find them useful as well.

I am using the Oracle Data Provider in vs2012. I am having trouble calling a function that returns an object type defined.

Returning a collection like that is a bad idea to begin with. That isn't scaleable and wastes memory.
Either return a REF CURSOR and let the client FETCH the rows or use a PIPELINED function and let the client query it like they would a table.
Here is an example similar to yours that uses a PIPELINED function.
create or replace
    package pkg2
      as
        CURSOR emp_cur is (SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, deptno FROM emp);
        type pkg_emp_table_type is table of emp_cur%rowtype;
        function get_emp(
                         p_deptno number
          return pkg_emp_table_type
          pipelined;
end;
create or replace
    package body pkg2
      as
        function get_emp(
                         p_deptno number
          return pkg_emp_table_type
          pipelined
          is

                                FROM emp where deptno = p_deptno) loop
                pipe row(v_emp_rec);
              end loop;
          end;
end;
select * from table(pkg2.get_emp(20));

Hi,
I have a string value ' DBTABLE-FIELDNAME'. I need to split this into 2 strings - The first one is the database table name and the second one is the fieldname. So, the character '-' is the point where the split needs to be done. How can this be achieved. Any FM that I could use?
Thanks for your help!

Function in oracle

If i pass the parameter like "select *from split('672','asdfg')"
when i execute the function in sqlserver..
it will give the following o/p:
RowID value
1     asdfg
I want the same o/p in oracle using function....
below i gave the sample function in sql server:
alter FUNCTION [dbo].[Split]

( RowID smallint IDENTITY(1,1),
[Value] varchar(50)

WHILE len( @List ) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT @LenString =
(CASE charindex( @Delimiter, @List )
WHEN 0 THEN len( @List )
ELSE ( charindex( @Delimiter, @List ) -1 )
END
INSERT INTO @TableOfValues
SELECT substring( @List, 1, @LenString )
SELECT @List =
(CASE ( len( @List ) - @LenString )
WHEN 0 THEN ''
ELSE right( @List, len( @List ) - @LenString - 1 )
END
END
RETURN
END
execute: select *from split('672','asdfg')

1     asdfgI'm not quite sure why you have "672" as a delimiter in a split function as that seems a very poor example, or maybe I'm just not understanding what your SQL Server split function is supposed to be doing.
On Oracle, a simple split function that takes a string of delimited values and splits them up to generate seperate rows of data would be something like...
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE split_tbl IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32767);
2 /
Type created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION split (p_list VARCHAR2, p_delim VARCHAR2:=' ') RETURN SPLIT_TBL PIPELINED IS

5    BEGIN
6      LOOP
7        l_idx := INSTR(l_list, p_delim);
8        IF l_idx > 0 THEN
9          PIPE ROW(SUBSTR(l_list, 1, l_idx-1));
10          l_list := SUBSTR(l_list, l_idx+LENGTH(p_delim));

d deeply appreciate if soeone could take a look at the code and tell me exactly where i am going wrong ..... Its URGENT ...
Thx
klv

But there is the while statement which filters null
values..Which is useless in your case, because you proceed to change the value of st to something else which you don't check for null.
At any rate, what you have to do is this:
1. Look at the stack trace to find the line number where the error occurs.
2. Look at that line in your code.
3. Look at each object variable in that line. Find out how it became null and fix that.

Import Functionality in Oracle ADF BC with Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and I am trying to import functionality in my application.
I am following the steps of: http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/07/import-functionality-in-oracle-adf-bc.html
I have 2 data model and I would like to import the functionality of one data model, in the other.
My problem is when I tried: myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->edit
I don't see nothing to filter myModel2, I see only Library Dependencies, Connections, JAR Options ADF Validation.
If I tried : myModel2-->right click-->project properties-->deployment-->new-->filters
I see only the folders: Merged Contents of this file Group's contributor, .data, 00000000
But I can't see the folders I have (mypackage.test.model.entities).
Where I can found them? Is there a workaround?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrea

Ok, but I taught that after importing myModel2 in myModel1, Jdeveloper realise a merge and it visualizes a unique package, even if it is splitted on two or more projects/models.
So that, it seems to me this procedure is useful for importing jar file, but not for splitting a very big project in a lot of smaller projects, doesn't it?
Thanks for your opinion

Numeric functions in Oracle Text

Hi
Do we have numeric functions in Oracle Text, if not what we have to do for filtering/searching numeric fields
Thanx
Hari

there are no numeric functions. You search numeric information by exact string match.

Converting the iif function in MS Access97 to an user defined function in Oracle

Hi ,
I have a problem here we are working with Visual Basic 6.0(ADOs 2.5) with Oracle 8i release 2. we have some queries stored in the tables which contains the iif function of MS Access 97 do we have a similar built in function in Oracle which replaces this iif function of Ms Access 97.
we cannot use decode (built in function) of oracle b'cos it cannot be used in a where clause and we cannot write a user defined function also because it cannot be generalized for use b'cos sometimes we use
field names and sometimes values as expression in the iif functions
If anybody could suggest me some idea
please mail me at [email protected]
with best regards
Jai

Hi,
You still can use the seccond approach - with a udf IIF() that you place in a package and OVERLOAD it. See the documentation for limitations of Overloading
Overloading permits you to declare several functions with the same name but havind different behaviours depending on the number and type of the parameters.

Error calling function in Oracle

Hi All,
I am calling the function in Oracle the following way
cs = conn.prepareCall( "{? = CALL package_name.function_name(?)}" );
But on the above line in my code, I am getting the error
java.sql.SQLException: Malformed SQL92 string at position: 5. Expecting "call"
Did anybody run into same issue?
Thanks

Until something slicker comes up:
try {
String sql = "select RISK.HVAR_MAINT.FNV_GET_PARTITION_NAME(?,'04-mar-2003') as theValue from dual ";
// Connection conn = getConnection();
CallableStatement stmnt = conn.theConnection.prepareCall(sql);
stmnt.setString(1,"hvar_mtm") ;
stmnt.execute();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.getResultSet() ;
while ( rs.next() ) System.out.println(rs.getString("theValue") ) ;
rs.close() ;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage() ) ;
Note: I have not been able to get "CALL" to work in Oracle
May be the next guy cal get conn.prepareCall( "{? = CALL package_name.function_name(?)}" ); to work

Table-Valued function in oracle

Hi All,
I have a table-valued function in MS SQL Server, that I want to convert it.
How can I create table-valued function in Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Thanks for your thoughts

Just so we are talking the same language, array-type constructs in Oracle are generally known as "collections", while "table" generally refers to a database table. Having said that, you may see references to "PL/SQL Tables" which was the old name for collections when they first came out, although this term has been mostly withdrawn as it's somewhat misleading and causes confusion (that's marketing for you).
Now I think about it we also have table functions, the official name for functions that return collections although IMO almost as misleading. Anyway my rambling point is that "function that returns a table" may cause confusion in Oracle circles. Or maybe it's just me.
There are loads of String To Table examples around:
* www.williamrobertson.net/documents/comma-separated.html
* www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=412
Couldn't you have the procedure accept an array in the first place and have something else do the string conversion before it reaches the procedure?
