Hi,
Sorry, it's not clear what you want.

SUBSTR ( str

       , 3
       )Do you need to worry about not having 3 characters between the N-th comma and the next one? What if there are fewer than N commas?
I hope this answers your question.
If no, what is your question?
Does it involve reading a csv file that is not already in a table? Post a small sample file.
Does your qestion involve parsing strings that are already in a table? Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements.
In any case, post the exact results you want from the given data.

How to Split the string using Substr and instr using loop condition

Hi every body,
I have below requirement.
I need to split the string and append with single quotes('') followed by , (comma) and reassign entire values into another variable. so that i can use it where clause of update statement
for example I am reciveing value as follows
ALN varchar2(2000):=(12ERE-3MT-4Y,4IT-5O-SD,OP-K5-456,P04-SFS9-098,90P-SSF-334,3434-KJ4-O28,AS3-SFS0-J33,989-3KL-3434);
Note: In the above variable i see 8 transactions, where as in real scenario i donot how many transaction i may recive.
after modification i need above transactions should in below format
ALTR Varchar2(2000):=('12ERE-3MT-4Y','4IT-5O-SD','OP-K5-456','P04-SFS9-098','90P-SSF-334','3434-KJ4-O28','AS3-SFS0-J33','989-3KL-3434');
kindly help how to use substr and instr in normal loop or for loop or while loop while modifying the above transactions.
Please help me to sort out this issue.
Many Thanks.

Try this - may not be the best way but...:
create or replace type myTableType as table of varchar2(255)
declare
v_array mytabletype;
v_new_str varchar2(4000);
function str2tbl
         (p_str   in varchar2,
          p_delim in varchar2 default '.')
         return      myTableType

Ora:view support for long columns

Hi, i'm making a documentation tool of my database tables.
I want to generate XML description of tables with Xquery.
When i use this Xquery, gives me error,
ORA-00932: tipos de dato inconsistentes: se esperaba NUMBER se ha obtenido LONG
SELECT XMLQuery(
'for $i in ora:view( "SYS", "ALL_TABLES")/ROW
return <table id="{$i/TABLE_NAME}">
{for $j in ora:view("SYS","ALL_TAB_COLUMNS")/ROW
                 where $j/TABLE_NAME eq $i/TABLE_NAME
                 return ($j/COLUMN_NAME)}
</table>'
RETURNING CONTENT) FROM DUAL;
The view ALL_TAB_COLUMNS have a LONG column for DEFAULT value.
Does ora:view have a workaround for LONG columns?
The only solution that i have found is to create a new view, without the LONG column, but that will make my documentation tool less portable.
Thanks.

Hi,
user625976 wrote:

But, what about using SQL/XML functions?
For example :
SELECT xmlelement("tables",

    xmlelement("table",
      xmlattributes(c.table_name as "id", c.owner as "owner"),
      xmlagg(

        order by c.column_id
    ) order by c.table_name

SUBSTR and INSTR query

Hello all,
I need help in simple query how can show only MCCODE
SELECT SUBSTR('VMTOPIC=MCCODE', INSTR('VMTOPIC=MCODE', 'VMTOPIC=')+8,20) AS output FROM DUAL;But also when i used
SELECT SUBSTR('VMTOPIC=MCCODE', INSTR('VMTOPIC=MCODE', 'HHH')+8,20) AS output FROM DUAL;show same results, what i need only if words begin with " VMTOPIC= " retrived characters after "VMTOPIC=".
regards
Dheya

Hi, Dheya,
Here's one way:
SELECT SUBSTR ( str
            , INSTR ( str || 'VMTOPIC='
                        , 'VMTOPIC='
                 ) + 8
            , 20    -- or omit this argument
            )       AS output
FROM    table_x
;where tabe_x.str is the string you need to test.
You could also do this with REGEXP_SUBSTR or REGEXP_REPLACE, but you can do this easily enough without any slow regular expressions.

SUBSTR treats 0 like 1 in its 2nd argument, so, using that expresssion, not fnding the string is te same as finding it at position 1.
Of couse, looking for 'HHH' in a string that cotains 'VMTOPIC=' isn't the problem here; the real problem is looking for 'VMTOPIC=' in a string that doesn't contain it.
Making a special case when INSTR returns 0, as Solomon suggested, is one way to get around the problem. Another is what I posted above, which guarantees that INSTR will never return 0. If the 'VMTOPIC=' is not found in str, then lookng for it in str || 'VMTOPIC=' will cause INSTR to return a very high number; so high that SUBSTR will then return NULL.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data (maybe 5 rows), and the results you want from that data.
Point out where the query above is producing the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from the sample data in those places.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Differences between 7 and 8 for long books

I am considering FM 7 and 8 for producing a long book. The issue with 8 is that it requires SP2 on XP, and I can't put that on my writing system.
So that would favour 7 unless its features are noticably lacking compared to 8. Here are the book requirements, please read carefully --
* There are 4 parallel columns spread across 2 facing pages -- each column has its own text, layout, font and size, different from texts in other columns.
* All 4 columns in the spread (2 on even pages, 2 on odd pages) must retain their positions on the spread, no matter which page of the book you turn to.
* There is absolutely no left to right wrapping of columns in a parallel column layout. This means all columns flow down - even to even, and odd to odd.
* This page flow must be automatic -- I am simply NOT going to draw frames for all pages and manually link them across a 400 page book, it is absurd.
I need to know which one of 7 or 8 supports automatic wrapping of 2 columns on even pages to the next even page, and the two columns on the right odd pages to the next odd page (if you don't understand this requisite column flow, please leave it for other to reply who do -- thank you). If both FM 7 and 8 are more or less the same, that would be very helpful information too. Please give compative capabilities as it relates to parallel book columns.
BTW, another really crucial feature is being able to manually set a FIXED line height in each column -- not in point size, like InDesign does (that does not work for precise alignment) -- I should be able to specify the line height in each column in decimals of an inch. Which one can do this?
Your help on these specific questions is much appreciated. Please no discussion of FM 9. I will not be getting that version. Thanks

Mike --
That weird work-around is indecipherable to me (column less than a character width??) -- would you care to explain it in the context of this thread?
I noticed that Arnis has already explained the reason for using a tiny frame in each thread to carry the flow across pages where you don't want to display that content.
The reason Jay posted that is because he was on my question in InDesign, realized the serious failing of InDesign to handle a 2-page spread of parallel columns, and obviously wanted to see if FM could do it. He did a book in FM with only 2 columns, hence the "entrenched" concept of even-to-odd page flow worked fine for him.
You know, I have personally read 100+ books with 4 parallel texts like I am describing, and I am sure there are thousands of ones I haven't read with a similar layout. It takes scarcely 2 seconds to realize, looking at the 2 page spread, that even page columns MUST wrap to even page columns, and odd to odd. It's not an "unusual, special" request, it is a NECESSARY REQUIREMENT of 4 parallel columns spread across facing pages. Surely you can see that? But it seems that Adobe developers either never read any scholarly texts, or they just don't understand parallel texts -- period.
Have you contacted the folks who created the books you're referring to, to learn what tools they used for the books? Just seeing the final print version, or even the PDF, can't reveal the underlying construction.
Maybe the truth came out in that thread. Framemaker, as it was originally conceived by the original developers, DID allow correct page flow for parallel columns -- but once Adobe got it, they killed that ability, dumbing it down to InDesign's level, which cannot do it. Peter so much as admitted to that fact on that thread, that somewhere in the versions, this feature was killed. Which confirms the above paragraph.
Winfried Ring responded to my question about the feature not working in later FrameMaker releases, in that other thread, that the technique still works in later FrameMaker releases. The key, Winfried pointed out, is to begin the document with one body page, regardless of whether it's a single-page or facing-page layout. This keeps FrameMaker from getting confused about where the flows should go on the new pages it creates as any of the flows grows to the point that it creates a new page.
I think you're trying to imagine how these techniques will work, rather than trying them out hands-on. I've done that myself; it's a good learning style for some things, but in this particular case, you need the empirical experience of seeing how the software's built-in mechanisms behave. Until and unless you do it and gain the experience, you can't imagine, project, empathize, conjure, or visualize how these things work. You do have a clear vision of what you want for the end result, however.
In FrameMaker, as in InDesign, as in PageMaker, as in QuarkXpress, you draw text frames on document pages, or on master pages, using a text frame tool. It's named differently in each application.
The tools are for users to apply their vision and creativity, so if you need a certain kind of layout, you need to lay it out yourself. If your particular layout were common, there would very likely be at least one template for available in each professional publishing tool's community.
Why should I even consider FM 9 ?? Adobe wants $1000 bucks for it -- they brag on its "improved features for book production". What a laugh! They can't even conceive of scholarly comparative books across a HUGE gamut of subject areas -- so why should I consider it ?? I'd love for someone to tell me: "YES !! I am proud to announce that FrameMaker can do this natively out of the box !! " But I don't see it coming, do you?
Professional tools cost huge money to develop. If you use them professionally, your work should bring in the revenue to pay for the tools.
As has been said by many posters on many threads in regards to most software, especially the professional tools, it's very unlikely that you'll find a legitimate copy of a past version for sale. The older the version, the less likely there will be a legit copy on some dealer's shelf that pops up, and is put on eBay for a song. It's illegal to sell old versions that one uses to upgrade to a new version. You'll not be able to register the license; in recent versions of Adobe products, you won't be able to use the software at all after the trial period expires, without a valid license.
Using a license cracking tool is also illegal.
It sounds as if your hardware and Windows version limitations are constraining your software choices. It's a tough set of choices.
Oh, BTW, here's a link to a PDF of a FrameMaker example of what I think you're talking about:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/363247/fm%207X7%204-parallel%20flows%20across%20same-side%20pages. recover.pdf
EDIT:
In the PDF, the small fragments of text are the "pass-through" threaded frames that Arnis described. They're larger than a single character, so you can see the text flow through; in real use, they should be teensy.
/EDIT
It's trickier in InDesign because it's built-in ability to create new pages as stories grow is trick to accomplish the same behavior. The In-Tools plugin that was mentioned can do this.
If you're persnickety about typographic control, InDesign is the better tool. FrameMaker isn't a slouch, it's just that InDesign's been bred for the task.
Regarding lining up the text across columns, InDesign and FrameMaker both can control baseline alignment. You'll need to try out both tools to decide which works the way you need.
HTH

UpdateCharacterStream for LONG column gives SQLException: Data size bigger than max

I have a LONG column and when I call updateCharacterStream via the resultset I get the following error:
SQLException: Data size bigger than max size for this type: 2391
I am trying to update the column with a value that is 2391 in length. The column is defined as a LONG so it is plenty big enough.
What gives?
If I use a UTF-8 database it works OK. But if I use a db that is on the default character set I get the error. There are NO multibyte characters, I just happened to test it against my unicode db and it worked.

This only happens with the thin driver. I am using 8i. It also works OK if the target db is in UTF8!

Substring and instring

Dear all,
I am very new to oracle. I am learning oracle now. I have small doubt could any one can help me.
I have a string like 'robert alias: 09-047 position now:     CLARK'
now i need to store the word
'09-047' in to a variable x
and clark in to a variable y
i.e in X i have to store from the word 'robert alias:' till before the word 'position now:' then my out put is ' 09-047 '.
for this i tried as below
select trim(substr('robert alias: 09-047 position now:     CLARK',
instr('robert alias: 09-047 position now:     CLARK',':',1)+1)) from dual;
I am getting the o/p as '09-047 position now::     CLARK'
But i have to get '09-047' only. For that i need to give the 3rd parameter i.e length of the string.
In my substring i used only 2parameter i.e string and position now i have to give the length.
Could you please help me.
Thanks & Regards
Dilip

Sub-total and Total for a column having checkboxes in WD ABAP ALV

Hello Experts,
I have used ALV in We bdynpro ABAP to display my output. There are 2 columns that are checkboxes in Output. I want a sub-total and total for those two columns. I know tht total and sub-total functionality is available only for numeric fields .
Is there any other indirect way by which i can achieve the same ?

Hi Ragini,
Please refer this thread: [alv total and subtotal|How to display graphs;.
I hope it helps.

Substr and instr in EQL

Another EQL question. Is there an equivalent to substr or instr in EQL?

Not at this time. Check out the v2.3 EQL language reference guide here for more details.

(MHDDK) How to realize the synchronization of read and write for long time by cart PCI6025E

I've finished the programming of the process read and write for the PCI6025E, I can read and write the data now, I wanna synchronize both of the processes, writing the data into the card just after the reading from the card, and check the wave in the oscilloscope. when I use the SEC , it works, but when I changed to MSEC, the wave only come out for a few seconds, even if I bloc 60sec, and also the wave is not steady. why?
so now the problem is how could I write the data immediately which just read and it's for a long time I asked?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jack,
aiex4.cpp doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. I believe that while the examples were being named, the developer mis-numbered them and just skipped 4 :-S
At any rate, if you already have AI and AO working separately, and you have the I/O performance you application requires, then you may not need to add DMA to your driver. However, if you want to add DMA, it won't be very difficult. In essence, you would need mix code from the S and M Series examples. The S Series example aiex2.cpp shows two things: the few lines of code you need to add DMA objects (lines 70-78), and how to program the STC to use DMA (line 114). And aiex3.cpp from the M Series examples gives a clearer picture of how to control and read the DMA channel.
Thanks, Rolf, for your time and help :-) I'm grateful for your contributions, and I'm glad to see active developers in the DDK forum.

Using multiple xdofx commands together. For eg: substr and instr

Hi,
I am working in developing an RTF where a situation is to use xdofx:sustr and xdofx:instr together.

Is there any special commands to use in such a scenario.
Thanks,

i am getting the data but it is in the format 01-03-0201. The year format for 2010 is populating as 0201. i am not able to think whether it is due to instring function which is reading data like this. Need suggestion from experts.............
