For example
select * from tbl where msg like ‘%\<CDT\>5000%\<DBT\>1000%’
msg: <TXN1><CDT>5000<\CDT><\TXN1><something else><TXN2><DBT>1000<\DBT><\TXN2>
I am looking to extract column values, if it has CDT as 5000 and DBT as 1000
Title question is:
is it valid to use % in between a search string, for example
where msg like ‘%5000%1000%’
Yes, it is valid.
What would CDT and DBT be? Extract which column values?
I'm not sure but I think what you want is to take the value of everything between and
The following code does that
with raw_text(t) as( select '<TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1>' from dual)
SELECT *
FROM raw_text
CROSS JOIN
XMLTABLE (
'//CDT'
PASSING XMLTYPE (raw_text.t)
COLUMNS CDT VARCHAR2 (1000) PATH './text()')
Lets assume that you have valid XML data (a single root element, matching opening and closing tags and using /, and not \, for the closing tags). For example:
CREATE TABLE tbl (id, msg) AS
SELECT 1, '<ROOT><TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2, '<ROOT><TXN1><CDT>50000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 3, '<ROOT><TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>10000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 4, '<ROOT><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2><TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1><something /></ROOT>' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 5, '<ROOT><TXN1><CDT note="match me too">5000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>' FROM DUAL;
Where ids 1, 4 and 5 all have values 5000 and 1000 but id 4 has the order of the transactions reversed in the XML (which is completely valid XML and does not change the data at all) and id 5 is the same as id 1 but with an added attribute on the CDT element. ids 2 has CDT of 50000 instead of 5000 and 3 has DBT of 10000 instead of 1000.
Then, yes, you could use:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE msg LIKE '%<CDT>5000%<DBT>1000%'
But it would return rows 1, 2 and 3 and would not match row 4 or 5. This is probably not what you want.
You could eliminate rows 2 and 3 by matching the end tags as well:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE msg LIKE '%<CDT>5000</CDT>%<DBT>1000</DBT>%'
But that still does not match when the tags are reversed or when there are additional attributes.
If you want to match the values then you can use XMLEXISTS:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE XMLEXISTS('//CDT[text()=5000]' PASSING XMLTYPE(msg))
AND XMLEXISTS('//DBT[text()=1000]' PASSING XMLTYPE(msg))
Which outputs:
ID
MSG
1
<ROOT><TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>
4
<ROOT><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2><TXN1><CDT>5000</CDT></TXN1><something /></ROOT>
5
<ROOT><TXN1><CDT note="match me too">5000</CDT></TXN1><something /><TXN2><DBT>1000</DBT></TXN2></ROOT>

Hi I am trying to fetch substring in oracle for the below two strings. I want result if the pattern matches starting with S9C and the having 8 numbers after S9C
For Eg: for the below two inputs I need output like
Input:
1.CABLE : THERMINAL 3X2X0.25MM FPCP PLUS UNITRONIC S9C000019651
2.Motor Protection Relay EMR-3MPO-2S9CB1-1 (was IQ1000II / MP 3000)
3.GREASE : BEM 41-132 3KG CARTRIDGE KLUBERPLEX S9C00019171 (Order by KG's required)
4.DO NOT USE CARRIER SPIDEX ZK 38 98 SH. S9C00011593 (SUPERSEDE BY S9C10204555 - WIN0020775)
Output:
1.Null
2.Null
3.S9C00019171
4.S9C10204555
You can use a combination of REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_COUNT to solve your question:
WITH test_data(input) AS
(
SELECT '1.CABLE : THERMINAL 3X2X0.25MM FPCP PLUS UNITRONIC S9C000019651' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '2.Motor Protection Relay EMR-3MPO-2S9CB1-1 (was IQ1000II / MP 3000)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '3.GREASE : BEM 41-132 3KG CARTRIDGE KLUBERPLEX S9C00019171 (Order by KG''s required)' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT '4.DO NOT USE CARRIER SPIDEX ZK 38 98 SH. S9C00011593 (SUPERSEDE BY S9C10204555 - WIN0020775)' FROM DUAL
)
SELECT regexp_substr(td.input,
'S9C[0-9]{8}( |$)',
1,
GREATEST(1, regexp_count(td.input, 'S9C[0-9]{8}( |$)')))
FROM test_data td
Here's a quick explanation of how it works:
REGEXP_COUNT counts the occurrences of the target pattern, so we can get the last occurrence later.
Wrap the result in in GREATEST because 0 is invalid for REGEXP_SUBSTR parameter.
Call REGEXP_SUBSTR to grab the last occurrence of the target string.
Here is a DBFiddle to show you it working (DBFiddle)
I have a query that gets contract_types 1 to 10. This query is being used in an SSRS report to filter out a larger dataset. I am using -1 for nulls and -2 for all.
I would like to know how we would allow multiple values - does oracle concatenate the inputs together so '1,2,3' would be passed in? Say we get select -1,0,1 in SSRS, how could we alter the bottom query to return values?
My query to get ContractTypes:
SELECT
ContractType,
CASE WHEN ContractType = -2 THEN 'All'
WHEN ContractType = -1 THEN'Null'
ELSE to_Char(ContractType)
END AS DisplayFigure
FROM ContractTypes
which returns
ContractType DisplayFig
-1 Null
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
This currently is only returning single values or all, not muliple values:
SELECT *
FROM Employee
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) = :contract_type or :contract_type = -2
I'm assuming we want to do something like:
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) IN (:contract_type)
But this doesn't seem to work.
Data in Employee
Name ContractType
Bob 1
Sue 0
Bill Null
Joe 2
In my report, I want to be able to select contract_type as -1(null),0,1 using the 'allow muliple values' checkbox. At the moment, I can only select either 'all' using my -2 value, or single contract types.
My input would be: contract type = -1,1,2
My output would be Bill, Bob, Joe.
This is how I'm executing my code
I use SSRS with Oracle a lot so I see where you're coming from. Thankfully, they work pretty well together.
First make sure the parameter is set to allow multiple values. This adds a Select All option to your dropdown so you don't have to worry about adding a special case for "All". You'll want to make sure the dataset for the parameter has a row with -1 as the Value and a friendly description for the Label.
Next, the WHERE clause would be just as you mentioned:
WHERE NVL(CONTRACT_TYPE, -1) IN (:contract_type)
SSRS automatically populates the values. There is no XML or string manipulation needed. Keep in mind that this will not work with single-value parameters.
If for some reason this still doesn't work as expected in your environment, there is another workaround you can use which is more universal and works even with ODBC connections.
In the dataset parameter properties, use an expression like this to concatenate the values into a single, comma-separated string:
="," + Join(Parameters!Parameter.Value, ",") + ","
Then use an expression like this in your WHERE clause:
where :parameter like '%,' + Column + ',%'
Obviously, this is less efficient because it most likely won't be using an index, but it works.
I don't know SSRS, but - if I understood you correctly, you'll have to split that comma-separated values list into rows. Something like in this example:
SQL> select *
2 from dept
3 where deptno in (select regexp_substr('&&contract_type', '[^,]+', 1, level)
4 from dual
5 connect by level <= regexp_count('&&contract_type', ',') + 1
6 );
Enter value for contract_type: 10,20,40
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------------- --------------------
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
SQL>
Applied to your code:
select *
from employee
where nvl(contract_type, -1) in (select regexp_substr(:contract_type, '[^,]+', 1, level)
from dual
connect by level <= regexp_substr(:contract_type, ',') + 1
)
If you have the comma separated list of numbers and then if you like to split it then, the below seems simple and easy to maintain.
select to_number(column_value) from xmltable(:val);
Inputs: 1,2,3,4
Output:
I guess I understood your problem. If I am correct the below should solve your problem:
with inputs(Name, ContractType) as
(
select 'Bob', 1 from dual union all
select 'Sue', 0 from dual union all
select 'Bill', Null from dual union all
select 'Joe', 2 from dual
)
select *
from inputs
where decode(:ContractType,'-2',-2,nvl(ContractType,-1)) in (select to_number(column_value) from xmltable(:ContractType))
Inputs: -1,1,2
Output:
Inputs: -2
Output:
Firstly, I greatly appreciate any feedback that anyone can offer. I am using Oracle SQL Developer, Version 4.0.2.15, Build 15.21.
I know and understand that many, many similar questions have been asked, as I've searched around on stackoverflow as well as the rest of the internet. However, the corresponding answers are either too vague or too extravagant, and attempt to do things that are way over my head and not what I am trying to accomplish. I am extremely new to SQL and haven't seriously done any coding since I did Java about 12 years ago. So please understand that something simple to you, is not so simple and obvious to me.
My bare-bones endstate that I am shooting for is taking a pre-existing Oracle Table Column, which is called 'service_level', that has parameters of 1-3, and making them A-C (where A=1, B=2, C=3). The reason for this is that I have an ArcGIS gdB featureclass that has a corresponding column, called 'MaintServi', with the parameters of A-C. I am going to join them using ArcToolbox once I have converted/replaced the 1-3 to A-C, and have exported them from Oracle into an Arc gdB as another table. The reason being is that the featureclass (obviously) has geometry, but this particular Oracle table does not.
From what I have gathered I know (or think) I will need to use something like:
chr(ord('a') + 3)
^ Where I will need to use/call upon the chr/ord functions. However, due to my inexperience, I cannot think of how to properly call this without getting an error. Below is what I have for my query thus far (but without chr/ord). I just need to figure out how to correctly insert it into my query to achieve the desired results.
SELECT v_wv_wp_crew.*,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 1, 6) AS CostCenter,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 8, 11) AS Crew_Supp_ID
FROM v_wv_wp_crew
WHERE crew_on_road >= '13-FEB-12'
AND ( operation = 2
OR operation = 3 );
Thanks again and hopefully I have complied with the posting rules of stackoverflow.
# Mark J. Bobak -
When implementing his ideas I get either this (Like I said, i'm not sure how to insert it properly without receiving an error)
SELECT v_wv_wp_crew.*,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 1, 6) AS CostCenter,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 8, 11) AS Crew_Supp_ID
FROM v_wv_wp_crew
WHERE crew_on_road >= '13-FEB-12'
AND ( operation = 2
OR operation = 3 )
UNION ALL
WITH service_level as (select 1 service_level from dual
union all
select 2 service_level from dual union all
select 3 service_level from dual)
select decode(service_level,1,'A',2,'B',3,'C') from service_level;
I receive the following error:
*ORA-32034: unsupported use of WITH clause
32034. 00000 - "unsupported use of WITH clause"
*Cause: Inproper use of WITH clause because one of the following two reasons
1. nesting of WITH clause within WITH clause not supported yet
2. For a set query, WITH clause can't be specified for a branch.
3. WITH clause can't sepecified within parentheses.
Action: correct query and retry
Error at Line: 14 Column: 25
Or I receive an output of only 3 rows (A, B, C) if I run the query separately - sorry I don't have enough reputation to post the image yet.
You can use the DECODE() function. Something like this should work:
with list_of_digits as (select 1 col_a from dual
union all
select 2 col_a from dual
union all
select 3 col_a from dual
union all
select 4 col_a from dual)
select decode(col_a,1,'A',2,'B',3,'C','Other') from list_of_digits;
Using your query, try this:
WITH service_level as (select 1 service_level from dual
union all
select 2 service_level from dual union all
select 3 service_level from dual)
select decode(service_level,1,'A',2,'B',3,'C') from service_level
union all
SELECT v_wv_wp_crew.*,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 1, 6) AS CostCenter,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 8, 11) AS Crew_Supp_ID
FROM v_wv_wp_crew
WHERE crew_on_road >= '13-FEB-12'
AND ( operation = 2
OR operation = 3 );
ord isn't an Oracle function. The equivalent Oracle function is ASCII. However, even substituting in the correct function, I don't see how that gets you what you want.
It seems most likely that you just want to add a column (I'd use case to translate the values):
SELECT v_wv_wp_crew.*,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 1, 6) AS CostCenter,
Substr(v_wv_wp_crew.winter_supp_id, 8, 11) AS Crew_Supp_ID,
case service_level
when '1' then 'a'
when '2' then 'b'
when '3' then 'c'
end as service_level_alpha
FROM v_wv_wp_crew
WHERE crew_on_road >= '13-FEB-12'
AND ( operation = 2
OR operation = 3 );
If you want to return this column as service_level, then you'll need to return the full list of columns instead of using the asterisk.
Since this is a straight-forward character swap, you could use translate to really streamline the operation: translate(service_level,'123','abc'). However, I vastly prefer case over either decode or translate for readability
I would like to know that if I can compare a value with a list of items in an decode function. Basically I want to know that if is it possible to make a decode statement's 'search' value a list. For example,
decode(task_id, (1,2,3), 3 * task_time)
This piece of code won't compile though. Is this the only option for this case then (without using case-when) or are there alternative ways of doing this?
decode(task_id, 1, 3 * task_time,
2, 3 * task_time,
3, 3 * task_time)
I am using Oracle 10gR2. Any help is much appreciated.
If a single list of values is sufficient, you can turn it into a CASE and IN clause:
case when task_id in (1, 2, 3) then 3 * task_time else null end
I don't think its possible to use a list with decode in this way. Per the docs:
DECODE compares expr to each search value one by one. If expr is equal
to a search, then Oracle Database returns the corresponding result. If
no match is found, then Oracle returns default
So task_id is compared with a search value one by one. If search value was a list, you couldn't compare with a single value.
I found a solution :)
select
decode(
task_id,
(select task_id from dual where task_id in (1,2,3)),
3*task_time)
decode ( (taskid-1)*(taskid-2)*(taskid-3), 0, 3 * tasktime ) could do what you want
Here's a working example:
with a as (
select 1 taskid, 11 tasktime from dual union all
select 2 taskid, 11 tasktime from dual union all
select 3 taskid, 11 tasktime from dual union all
select 4 taskid, 11 tasktime from dual
)
select
taskid,
decode (
(taskid-1) *
(taskid-2) *
(taskid-3) ,
0, 3 * tasktime
) decoded
from a;
you can use union all:
select 3 * task_time from your_table where task_id in (1,2,3)
union all
select task_time from your_table where task_id not in (1,2,3)
but why ?
In if condition :
IF vVal in (3,1,2) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('FOUND');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('NOT FOUND');
END IF;
I've seen instr(...) and static strings used as a way to quickly determine whether a value is one of multiple you're looking for as a condition for what value you return. You may need to choose a delimiter, but with limited datasets you can even omit it. It avoids using case-when, subqueries, and PL/SQL. As far as I know, there is no shorter way to do this:
decode(instr('123', taskid), 0, null, taskid * 3)
It's also very convenient when you want to set exceptions (for instance returning taskid without multiplication if it equals 1):
decode(instr('12345', taskid), 0, null, 1, taskid, taskid * 3)
