I have the below table:
(AddressID,ShortAddress,FullAddress).
Now, The FullAdress column normally contains address like this:
Bellvue East,204-Park Avenue,Zip-203345.
I need to write a script, which will extract the first part before the first ',' in the full address and insert into ShortAddress column.
So, the Table Data before executing the script:
AddressID|ShortAddress|FullAddress
1 | NULL |Bellvue East,204-Park Avenue,Zip-203345,United Kingdom
2 | NULL |Salt Lake,Sector-50/A,Noida,UP,India
And after executing the script, it should be:
AddressID|ShortAddress|FullAddress
1 |Bellvue East|Bellvue East,204-Park Avenue,Zip-203345,United Kingdom
2 |Salt Lake|Salt Lake,Sector-50/A,Noida,UP,India
I need to write it in Oracle PL/SQL.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try this UPDATE:
UPDATE yourTable
SET ShortAddress = COALESCE(SUBSTR(FullAddress, 1, INSTR(FullAddress, ',') - 1),
FullAddress)
This update query will assign the first CSV term in the full address to the short address. If no comma be present, then it will assign the entire full address.

I have a problem in updating a column in oracle which has a single quote.
The following example will clear the problem.
Lets Client name is Lucy'Mark
Now, I want to replace the Single quote with space
After output, it will be Lucy Mark
Now when I tried the following query it is not working as the query will be
select replace (Lucy'Mark , '''', '') from gen_clientvendor_m;
Please let me know the query.
I am using SQL developer
Use the column with client name and add space to the replace statement:
select replace (client_name , '''', ' ') from gen_clientvendor_m;
Multiple single quotes cause headache :) so - have a look at this option:
SQL> with test (name) as
2 (select q'[Lucy'Mark]' from dual)
3 select name,
4 replace(name, chr(39), ' ') result
5 from test;
NAME RESULT
--------- ---------
Lucy'Mark Lucy Mark

I have a scenario to be implemented in informatica where I need to remove duplicate records from a table based on PK. But I need to keep the 1st occurrence of the PK values and remove the others(in case of duplicate PK).
For example, If my source has 1,1,1,2,3,3,4,5,4. I want to see my target data as 1,2,3,4,5. I have to read data from the same table and need to load into the same table., no new table can be introduced. please help me with your inputs.
Thanks in Advance!
I suppose you want the first occurrence because there are other (data) columns in addition to the key you entered. Therefore you want
1,b
1,c
1,a
2,d
3,c
3,d
4,e
5,f
4,b
Turned into
1,b
2,d
3,c
4,e
5,f
??
In that case try this mapping layout:
SRC -> SQ -> SRT -> AGG -> TGT
SEQ /
Where the sorter is set to sort on the KEY,sequence_port (desc)
And the aggregator is set to group by the KEY, and the sequence_port should not go out of the sorter
Hope you can follow me :)
There are multiple ways to do this, the simplest would be too do it in the SQL override.
Assuming the example quoted above, the SQL would be like this. General idea is to set a row number for a primary key ( so if you have 3 rows with same pk they will have 1,2,3 as row numbers before being reset for the next pk)
SQL:
select * from (
Select primary_key,column2 row_number() over (partition by primary_key order by primary_key) as distinct_key) where distinct_key=1
Before:
1,b
1,c
1,a
2,d
3,c
3,d
Intermediate query:
1,c,1
1,a,2
2,d,1
3,c,1
3,d,2
output:
1,c
2,d
3,d
I am able to achieve this by following the below steps.
1. Passing Sorted data(keys are EMP_ID, MOBILE, DEPTID) to an expression.
2. Creating the following variable ports in the expression and getting the counts.
V_CURR_EMP_ID = EMP_ID
V_CURR_MOBILE = MOBILE
V_CURR_DEPTID = DEPTID
V_COUNT =
IIF(V_CURR_EMP_ID=V_PREV_EMP_ID AND V_CURR_MOBILE=V_PREV_MOBILE AND V_CURR_DEPTID=V_PREV_DEPTID ,V_COUNT+1,1)
V_PREV_EMP_ID = EMP_ID
V_PREV_MOBILE = MOBILE
V_PREV_DEPTID = DEPTID
O_COUNT =V_COUNT
3. In the next transformation which is filter, I am taking only the records which have count more than 1 and deleting them using update strategy(DD_DELETE).
Here is the mapping flow.
SQ->SRTR->EXP->FIL->UPD->TGT
Also, when I tried to delete them using aggregator , it is deleting only the first occurrence of duplicates but not all.
Thanks again for your inputs!
i have a table in which i store the information (product id and description ) of all my products, description column is of type VarChar2(200). i want to format the output of this column in select statement to only result me specific part of output string. E.G Here is my simple select statement:
Select PRODUCTId, PRODUCT_DESC From ProductTable Order By PRODUCTId Desc;
this statement result me the output as:
ProductId Product_Desc
1 Oxford English-Oxford-Oxford Press-Textbook
now i want only the specific part of the output result from product_description column. i have already checked Trim() function but that did not helped me. can someone help me?
A substring function may help.
SELECT SUBSTR('ABCDEFG',3,4) "Substring"
FROM DUAL;
You can use SUBSTR() function. You can provide start and end position for the product_desc column.
The query should be like:
Select product_id,substr(product_desc,2,4) from producttable;
Here you'll get 4 chars from the second one.
Need to come up with a way to efficiently execute a query with and array and integer columns in the WHERE clause, ordered by a timestamp column. Using PostgreSQL 9.2.
The query we need to execute is:
SELECT id
from table
where integer = <int_value>
and <text_value> = any (array_col)
order by timestamp
limit 1;
int_value is an integer value, and text_value is a 1 - 3 letter text value.
The table structure is like this:
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------+-----------------------------+------------------------
id | text | not null
timestamp | timestamp without time zone |
array_col | text[] |
integer | integer |
How should I design indexes / modify the query to make it as efficient as possible?
Thanks so much! Let me know if more information is needed and I'll update ASAP.
PG can use indexes on array but you have to use array operators for that so instead of <text_value> = any (array_col) use ARRAY[<text_value>]<#array_col (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4059785/2115135). You can use the command SET enable_seqscan=false; to force pg to use indexes if it's possible to see if the ones you created are valid. Unfortunately GIN index can't be created on integer column so you will have to create two diffrent indexes for those two columns.
See the execution plans here: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!12/66a71/2
Unfortunately GIN index can't be created on integer column so you will have to create two diffrent indexes for those two columns.
That's not entirely true, you can use btree_gin or -btree_gist
-- feel free to use GIN
CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist;
CREATE INDEX ON table USING gist(id, array_col, timestamp);
VACUUM FULL ANALYZE table;
Now you can run the operation on the index itself
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE id = ? AND array_col #> ?
ORDER BY timestamp;
Question:
Is it possible to have a column name in a select statement changed based on a value in it's result set?
For example, if a year value in a result set is less than 1950, name the column OldYear, otherwise name the column NewYear. The year value in the result set is guaranteed to be the same for all records.
I'm thinking this is impossible, but here was my failed attempt to test the idea:
select 1 as
(case
when 2 = 1 then "name1";
when 1 = 1 then "name2")
from dual;
You can't vary a column name per row of a result set. This is basic to relational databases. The names of columns are part of the table "header" and a name applies to the column under it for all rows.
Re comment: OK, maybe the OP Americus means that the result is known to be exactly one row. But regardless, SQL has no syntax to support a dynamic column alias. Column aliases must be constant in a query.
Even dynamic SQL doesn't help, because you'd have to run the query twice. Once to get the value, and a second time to re-run the query with a different column alias.
The "correct" way to do this in SQL is to have both columns, and have the column that is inappropriate be NULL, such as:
SELECT
CASE WHEN year < 1950 THEN year ELSE NULL END AS OldYear,
CASE WHEN year >= 1950 THEN year ELSE NULL END AS NewYear
FROM some_table_with_years;
There is no good reason to change the column name dynamically - it's analogous to the name of a variable in procedural code - it's just a label that you might refer to later in your code, so you don't want it to change at runtime.
I'm guessing what you're really after is a way to format the output (e.g. for printing in a report) differently depending on the data. In that case I would generate the heading text as a separate column in the query, e.g.:
SELECT 1 AS mydata
,case
when 2 = 1 then 'name1'
when 1 = 1 then 'name2'
end AS myheader
FROM dual;
Then the calling procedure would take the values returned for mydata and myheader and format them for output as required.
You will need something similar to this:
select 'select ' || CASE WHEN YEAR<1950 THEN 'OLDYEAR' ELSE 'NEWYEAR' END || ' FROM TABLE 1' from TABLE_WITH_DATA
This solution requires that you launch SQLPLUS and a .sql file from a .bat file or using some other method with the appropriate Oracle credentials. The .bat file can be kicked off manually, from a server scheduled task, Control-M job, etc...
Output is a .csv file. This also requires that you replace all commas in the output with some other character or risk column/data mismatch in the output.
The trick is that your column headers and data are selected in two different SELECT statements.
It isn't perfect, but it does work, and it's the closest to standard Oracle SQL that I've found for a dynamic column header outside of a development environment. We use this extensively to generate recurring daily/weekly/monthly reports to users without resorting to a GUI. Output is saved to a shared network drive directory/Sharepoint.
