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

T-SQL functions in ORACLE

Use T-SQL functions in ORACLE too, so you can write one script version that works in SYBASE, SQLSERVER and ORACLE when need to use the following functions:
ceiling, charindex, dateadd, datediff, datename, datepart, day, db_id, db_name, getdate, host_id, host_name, left, len, month, replicate, right, space, str, str_replace, stuff, substring, suser_id, suser_name, user_id, user_name and year.
The file [comp_tsql_ORA_schema.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=564&d=1258547015] creates the tablespace and schema to put the objects, and the file [comp_tsql_ORA.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=569&d=1259256898] creates the functions into the new schema. They will be avaliable for any schema of the oracle instance.
Hope this help!
Any suggestion please contact.

J2EE beta released around 1999. Religious programming wars far preceded that.

I'm no longer convinced that elegance is a desirable trait for a language. So call me a heretic.
Ever tried XLISP? :-)
It's different. Back then it was simply the language itself. And it was not really a religious kind of battle, but more a mine-is-bigger-and-better-than-yours one.
With Java, it is all about The Acrhitecture and the blessed language of Java. ;-)
I wouldn't so much blame J2EE believers for that. I think there is a fundamental complexity to web type paradigms that hasn't been described in a precise and encompassing enough manner to enable correct project planning.The basic problem is that the database is treated as a persistent storage layer only. A bit bucket. And that is exactly what a database is not.
But as it is used that, loads of database features now need to be duplicated in the application layer. Which is done. Very poorly.
Heck, I've even been told that J2EE's 3-tier architecture is not client server. Such ignorance is really unbelievable. Or is it pure stupidity?Until you just made me look it up, I would have thought that too, I'm sure I saw client/server defined as two-tier in the last century. But I have much more stupid misdefinitions to deal with on a daily basis, simply from the multiplicity of paradigms. I tend to retreat into my shell. Hehehe. Know that feeling... These days I rather run away, or set shields to full power, than try to get in yet another frustrating, fruitless and futile discussion with a Java head about the wonders of the J2EE architecture. Or trying to explain that this "new" architecture is predated with what we used in the 80's on mainframe systems with transaction monitors, block devices (the 80's web browsers) and databases - which software layer for software layer was almost identical to "+The Great Architecture+" of today. (and we did it without buzzwords too) ;-)
Client-server is a software architecture and in essence describes 3 basic software components. The User Interface (UI), the Application (APP) and the Database (DB). And there are various ways to put these components together in a client-server architecture. The mistake that the Java fanbois make is thinking that client-server means having the client as the UI and APP as a single component (so-called fat client) and then the DB component as the server.
There are numerous versions of these - including the APP component being a server component (as we now these days more commonly used in over the web).
My beef with the J2EE "+religion+" always has been that client-server is client-server. The fundamentals stay the same.

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.
Thanks,
Atul Ramteke

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:

Using the ALL_TAB_COLS table I want to list out certain fields for each table name specified.
All the tables have fields that are similar. I just want these table names to go across the top.
And the field names to list out under each table.
So you would have something like:
AAEADP1                         AAMAET1                     AAPMED1
SSN_SOURCE                      MPI_OLD                     EMPLOYEE_SSN
FIRST_NAME_SOURCE               EMPLOYEE_SSN_SOURCE         EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME_SOURCE                EMPLOYEE_LAST_NAME_SOURCE   EMPLOYEE_LAST_NAME
DOB_SOURCE                      EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME_SOURCE EMPLOYEE_DATE_OF_BIRTH
EMP_SSN_SOURCE                  EMPLOYEE_DOB                PATIENT_SSN
EMP_FIRST_NAME_SOURCE           PATIENT_SSN                 PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_SOURCE
EMP_LAST_NAME_SOURCE            PATIENT_LAST_NAME_SOURCE    PATIENT_LAST_NAME_SOURCE
EMP_DOB_SOURCE                  PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_SOURCE   PATIENT_DOB
MPI                             PATIENT_DOB                 PRESCRIBER_LAST_NAME
SSN_STANDARDIZED                EMPLOYEE_NON_SSN_ID         MPI
FIRST_NAME_A_STANDARDIZED       EMPLOYEE_SSN_STANDARDIZED   PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_A_STD
FIRST_NAME_B_STANDARDIZED       PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_A_STD    PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_B_STD
LAST_NAME_A_STANDARDIZED        PATIENT_FIRST_NAME_B_STD    PATIENT_LAST_NAME_A_STD
LAST_NAME_B_STANDARDIZED        PATIENT_LAST_NAME_A_STD     PATIENT_LAST_NAME_B_STD
EMP_SSN_STANDARDIZED            PATIENT_LAST_NAME_B_STD
EMP_FIRST_NAME_A_STANDARDIZED   EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME_A_STD
EMP_FIRST_NAME_B_STANDARDIZED   EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME_B_STD
EMP_LAST_NAME_A_STANDARDIZED    EMPLOYEE_LAST_NAME_A_STD
EMP_LAST_NAME_B_STANDARDIZED    EMPLOYEE_LAST_NAME_B_STD
                                PATIENT_SSN_STANDARDIZED
                                MPI         Where each table name lists across with all of their column names under each table.
The query that I have so far is The following:
SELECT   T1.TABLE_NAME, T1.COLUMN_NAME
    FROM   my_tab_cols t1, ( SELECT   DISTINCT UPPER (SOURCE_TABLE) TABLE_NAME
                                 FROM MPI_DEMOGRAPHICS_TEST
                             ORDER BY UPPER (SOURCE_TABLE)) tn
   WHERE   T1.TABLE_NAME = tn.TABLE_NAME
           AND (   T1.column_name LIKE '%MPI%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%SSN%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%E%SSN%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%R%SSN%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%P%SSN%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%BIRTH%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%DOB%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%FIRST%NAME%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%LAST%NAME%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%CLIENT%NAME%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%SOURCE_TABLE%'
                OR T1.column_name LIKE '%TABLE%')
ORDER BY   T1.TABLE_NAME, t1.column_id; It just list everything straight down.
Where the MPI_DEMOGRAPHIES_TEST table feeds the relevant table names to the ALL_TAB_COLS table.
It can just be substituted with a list of the values, AAEADP1, AAMAET1, AAPMED1.
Is there a 'pivot' function in Oracle 11.1 that I can use to list these column names out sideways as opposed to what I did before?
Thanks,

Hi,
Here's one way to get results like that using the Oracle 11 SELECT ... PIVOT feature:
WITH     got_nums     AS
     SELECT     column_name

     ,     DENSE_RANK () OVER ( ORDER BY      table_name)     AS c_num
     FROM     my_tab_cols
        WHERE   column_name     LIKE '%MPI%'
        OR     column_name     LIKE '%SSN%'
--      OR     column_name     LIKE '%E%SSN%'          -- Included in '%SSN% above

As with all pivots, you have to hard-code an upper bound to the number of pivoted columns. I used 3 above. You could use 4, or 5, or 45, but you must specify exactly how many columns to display.
If you say there will be 3 tables, and there actually are more than 3, then the query will still run, but all the tables after the first 3 will be ignored.
If you say there will be 3 tables, and there actually are fewer, then the query will still run, but you will have NULL columns at the end of each output row.
This sorts the output alphabetically by table_name and column_name. You can sort by anything you want by changing the analytic ORDER BY clauses. For example, if you are using all_tabl_columns and you want the columns to appear in order by column_id, then you would say:
,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY table_name
                          ORDER BY         column_id     -- instead of column_name
                  )                    AS r_num

Any Predefined Function in Oracle as 'ListAgg'

Hi All,
if we give input as '1,2,3,4,5'
to get output as,
1
2
3
4
5
but there is a function for vice versa, listagg, just as like that I want to find out, if it is there any?Thanks,

UNPIVOT

After reading your post the third time I'm still not clear what you want.
Well there is a ListAgg function in Oracle. Do you want that?

TO_CHAR FUNCTION IN ORACLE FORM

HI,
Table called A has column name col1
col1
12563.563
52685.563
05263.540
I would like to use SUBSTR(col1,2,6) for insert values from A table to B table by Oracle form and following values are inserted in B table
2563.5
2685.5
263.4
If I use SQLPLUS it is inserting as my requirement like
2563.5
2685.5
5263.4
Third row should be 5263.5 instead of 263.4. In Oracle form may have internal coversion function to convert character value to number values, I do not want to convert the value to number. Both table columns are varchar2 column.
What is the equal to_char function in Oracle form. If it is NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS, please what are the parameters to be passed along with column.
Thanks in advance
Saravanan.

Hello,
If you don't want to take account any calculation on the decimal part, you could consider the Trunc() function instead of the To_Char():
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> select to_char(52685.563,'00000000.0'), trunc(52685.563,1) from dual
2 /
TO_CHAR(526 TRUNC(52685.563,1)
00052685.6 52685.5
