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.

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"

Oracle connection: cannot find the database driver

i have the following code:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     // Create a connection to the database
     String serverName = "rana-etcsup3ueu";
     String portNumber = "1521";
     String sid = "ORCLE";
     String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@rana-etcsup3ueu:1521:ORCLE";
     String username = "scott";
     String password = "tiger";
     connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Coud not find the database driver ");
     // Could not find the database driver
     } catch (SQLException e) {
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Coud not connect to the database ");
     // Could not connect to the database
but i have ClassNotFoundException that is cannot find tha database driver

This clearly implies that your driver classes are not on the classpath.
Ensure that the classes are reachable to your JVM.

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

Oracle Spatial function to find nearest line string based on lat/long

Hi,
Here is my scenario. I have a table that contains geometries of type line strings (the roadway network). The line geomteries are of type Ohio state plane south (SRID 41104).
I have a requirement - given a lat/long, find the line string that snaps to that lat/long or the nearest set of line strings within a distance of 0.02 miles.
This is a typical example of trying to identify a crash location on our roadway network. The crashes being reported to us in lat/long thru the GPS system.
How can i acheive this through any spatial functions?
Thanks for the help in advance.
thanx,
L.

Hi L,
That is not the way I would do it. I would convert my road segments to LRS data, then you can do all queries on the same data.
Or, if you do not want to modify your original data, create a copy of your road segments with the same ID's and convert the copy into LRS data. If you keep the ID's identical, you can easily use geometry from one and LRS data from the other - as long as you are sure the ID is the same.
Which will make the workflow a bit easier:
1. Use SDO_NN to get the closest segments
2. Use SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT to get the projected point
3. Use SDO_LRS.GET_MEASURE to get the measure
And most of these you can incorporate into one single query. Now I am writing this of the top of my head (It's been a while since I played with LRS). so this has not been tested, but something like this should work (but could probably be greatly improved - it's getting late for me :-) ):
SELECT
SDO_LRS.FIND_MEASURE --//find_measure needs an LRS segment and a point
    SELECT            --//here we select the LRS segment
      r.geometry
    FROM
      roadsegments r
    WHERE SDO_NN(r.geometry,    --//based on the given GPS point
                 sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL),
                 'sdo_num_res=2 distance=0.02 unit=mile') = 'TRUE'
SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT --//We project the point on the LRS segment
      SELECT         --//here we select the LRS segment (again, which could probably be improved!!)
        r.geometry
      FROM
        roadsegments r
      WHERE SDO_NN(r.geometry,
                   sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL),
                   'sdo_num_res=2 distance=0.02 unit=mile') = 'TRUE'
    sdo_geometry(2001, 41104, sdo_point_type(lat,lon,NULL), NULL, NULL) --//The GPS point again
AS milemarker from dual;So it is not as complicated as you think, it can easily be done with just one query (SQL can do a lot more than you think ;-) ).
Good luck,
Stefan

[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
          begin
              for v_emp_rec in (SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, deptno
                                FROM emp where deptno = p_deptno) loop
                pipe row(v_emp_rec);
              end loop;
          end;
end;
select * from table(pkg2.get_emp(20));

Find Menus & Function In oracle apps

Hello Experts,
I am searching for the menus and function in oracle apps to enable/disabled the functionality for a specific responsibility.
Is there any way through which we can find a function or menus in a effective way.

I am searching for the menus and function in oracle apps to enable/disabled the functionality for a specific responsibility.
Is there any way through which we can find a function or menus in a effective way.What do you mean? You can get the menu attached to the responsibility from query it from System Administrator responsibility and find all the functions/submenus which are attached to it.
If you want to get the same from the backend, please see:

What is mysql_prep in oracle php functions? I can't find it

I have looked at several functions and read about each of them. What would be the same function in oracle as mysql_prep.
I am using it for this.
$password = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['password']));

You don't need an oracle function since you are working ih PHP use addslashes it should do the same which is to escape special characters.

Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
(This is in a Function.)
Let's say ParmIn_Look_For has a value of 'black dog'. I want to see if
ParmIn_Search_This_String has 'black dog' anywhere in it. But it gives an error
Syntax error on command line.
If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.
Is there some way to put single quotes/double quotes around ParmIn_Look_For so this will
look for 'black dog' ??
Also: If I want to use the option of ignoring white space, is the last parm
'ix' 'i,x' or what ?
SELECT
REGEXP_INSTR(ParmIn_Search_This_String,
'('||ParmIn_Look_For||')+', 1, 1, 0, 'i')
INTO Position_Found_In_String
FROM DUAL;
Thanks, Wayne

Maybe something like this ?
test@ORA10G>
test@ORA10G> with t as (
2    select 1 as num, 'this sentence has a black dog in it' as str from dual union all
3    select 2, 'this sentence does not' from dual union all

5    select 4, 'yet another black dog' from dual union all
6    select 5, 'black dogs everywhere...' from dual union all
7    select 6, 'black dog running after me...' from dual union all
8    select 7, 'i saw a black dog' from dual)

10 select num, str
11 from t

ODSI service using function from oracle database

Hi ,
I need to create a ODSI service using function from oracle database.
I am not sure how to create a Physical Layer and Logical Layer using the function fron db.
Kindly provide a sample . I need It ASAP. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tara

Here's what you do.
Create New Physical Data Service -> Relational -> MyDataSource -> Table -> SomeTable ... finish the wizard.
So now you have a Physical Data Service that represents a database table.
Create New Physcial Data Service -> Relational -> MyDataSource (the same one as above) -> Database Function -> Enter UPPER for the Function name, enter MyUpper fro the XQuery Function. Finish the Wizard (use something like MyUpperDs for the ds name).
Open MyUpperDs. Right-click -> Edit Signature on MyUpper. Change the ReturnType to string, change the Occurrence to Zero or One.
Add a parameter, change the Type to string, change the Occurrence to Zero or One.
Save.
Now, open the first ds you made SomeTable.ds (whatever). Run it in the test view.
Go to the Overview tab. Create New Operation. Give it the name SOMETABLE_UPPER. Save it.
Go to the Query Map tab, open SOMETABLE_UPPER. Drag and drop SOMETABLE (the system-generated function into the mapper. It will show a dotted line from SOMETABLE to the Return. Now drag-and-drop the SOMETABLE to the top-level element of the return type, it will show solid lines from each element in SOMETABLE to each element in the return type.
Now, drag-and-drop MyUpperDs.MyUpper into the Query Mapper. Edit the source, find where it added the line "for $x in myd:MyUpper()" and delete that line.
Change a line that simply returns a value to use your function, for example, change
<FIRST_NAME>{fn:data($CUSTOMER/FIRST_NAME)}</FIRST_NAME>
to
<FIRST_NAME>{myd:MyUpper(fn:data($CUSTOMER/FIRST_NAME))}</FIRST_NAME>
Click on the Plan tab and Show Query Plan. You will see that in the query plan, it is using the database UPPER function where you specified MyUpper.
Go to the Test View and run it.

And i want to show the output is :defdafgdeg
Any ideas:
Thanks

For oracle try using oracle function.
e.g.
SELECT reverse(substr(reverse('12347-ebjdone-525-ecgfjf-25236-defdafgdeg'),1,instr(reverse('12347-ebjdone-525-ecgfjf-25236-defdafgdeg'),'-','1'))) from dual
Object definition might look like:
reverse(substr(reverse({ObjectName}),1,instr(reverse({ObjectsName}),'-','1')))

Wrong use of "Scan From String" function in a while loop?

Hi,
I've got a "Scan From String" function inside a while loop. On the first iteration it converts correctly the number passed by the input string (for example 4) But on the second one it has only spaces (one or more \s) as input string.
I expected to obtain a zero as output (as it does always that it can not make any conversions, as I am supposed to) but indeed, i subtracts 1 from the previous number (according to the number indicated as example I would obtain a 3 as output)
What's wrong with this?
Does the function fails on this case?
The rest of the diagram o the VI is expected to manage a 0 on that situation, like others in which the conversion is not made.
Andres.

I have simplified the VI evading calls to other VIs and trying to reproduce the mistake.
The type of string I introduce to reproduce the mistake is:
clock 3 (30) clock (40)
Forgetting to introduce a number between the second "clock" and the following parenthesis, I would manage it programmatically with code that isn't included.
Then "Scan From String" is supposed to do not make a conversion. But it leaves a 2 as output (in this example)
I have realised, unbelievable but true, that it has matter with the number I substract to the output number (if it were 2, I would obtain 1 as output and so on)
Excluding that, I got the conversion made before as output, 3, on the second time that "Scan From String" executes. But, how can this func
tion as bad?
I am using LV4 on an old PC. I have tried to reproduce it with LV6 and it works. But it isn't desirable for me, I would have to convert a lot of VIs and surely I will find a lot of errors due to the conversion (I have already tried)

Part of string

[email protected]; [email protected],
if I only want first part of string, I meant before ;
is that split is the only way to handle this case?

using split is the easiest way.
use something like this
&test = "[email protected];[email protected]";
&array = Split(&test, ";");
for &i = 1 to &array.Len
&email = &array[&i];
/* Do some processing */
end-for;
if you do not want to use split try using the following
&string = "[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];";
While Find(";", &string) != 0
&pos = Find(";", &string);
&email = Substring(&string, 1, &pos - 1);
&string = Substring(&string, &pos + 1, Len(&string) - &pos);
End-While;
Really, there are a lot of different possibilities of achieving what you want ...
