I have
"This is <>sample<> text. Need to extract <>smth1<> and <>smth2<> and many others."
in a column of oracle database.
I need to get:
sample
smth1
smth2
Any help?
try to create this function:
create or replace
Function GetSurroundedText (origStr varchar2, openingStr varchar2, closingStr varchar2, outputSep varchar2)
Return Varchar2
Is
continue boolean := true;
l_string Varchar2(2000) := origStr;
startPos PLS_Integer;
endPos PLS_Integer;
openingStrPos PLS_Integer;
res Varchar2(2000) := '';
sep Varchar2(100) := outputSep;
Begin
While true
Loop
openingStrPos :=Instr(l_string, openingStr);
If openingStrPos > 0 Then
startPos := openingStrPos + Length(openingStr);
l_String := Substr(l_string, startPos);
else
exit;
end if;
endPos := Instr(l_string, closingStr);
if endPos > 0 Then
if res = '' Then
sep := '';
else
sep := outputSep;
end If;
res := res || sep || Substr(l_string, 1, endpos-1);
l_String := Substr(l_string, endPos + Length(closingStr));
else
exit;
end if;
End Loop;
return res;
End;
And, in your case, use it like this:
select GetSurroundedText(mycolumn, '<>', '<>', ' ') from mytable;
In Oracle/PLSQL, the replace function replaces a sequence of characters in a string with another set of characters.
replace( string1, string_to_replace, [ replacement_string ])
so
replace( YourString, '<>', '');
Should do the trick.
If your case is more complex and you need a more elaborated solution you can check this function that allow you extract words between delimiters.

Hope it helps.
Use replace function to replace the <> to ''.It will work

how to achieve sequence match & exact word match?
That's exact match, then. Is it not? Then you just have to compare colname to variablename, directly, e.g.
if colname = variablename then
-- that's exact match, do something

How to split String by new line or other char
String
ABC|123
xyz|098
To
ABC --- 123
xyz --- 098
Try using regexp_substr function...
select regexp_substr('ABC|123','[^|]+',1,1) part1,
regexp_substr('ABC|123','[^|]+',1,2) part2
from dual
And in case of new line (CR/LF) it would look like this:
`regexp_substr(mystr,'[^('||chr(13)||chr(10)||')]+',1,1) part1,
regexp_substr(mystr,'[^('||chr(13)||chr(10)||')]+',1,2) part2`
Make oracle split function, that return varray. Here V_ARRAY is type
create TYPE V_ARRAY
after that create split function which return V_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE V_ARRAY AS VARRAY(1000) OF VARCHAR2(4000);
CREATE or REPLACE function split(str varchar2, patt varchar2)
RETURN v_array as

i := i + 1;
end loop;
token.extend;
token(i) := substr(str, s+1, length(str) -1);

ref:A function to split, loop through
Let's say I have the following table named bar:
key | columnA | columnB | columnC
A | B | C | D
E | F | G | H
I want to write a function taking a key and a string and doing the following (best described by examples):
Input: ('A', '${columnB} - ${columnA}') / Output : 'C - B'
Input: ('B', 'Hello ${columnC}') / Output: 'Hello H'
For the moment, I have this implementation:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo
( param_key IN VARCHAR2
, format_string IN VARCHAR2
)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
my_row bar%ROWTYPE;
retval VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
BEGIN SELECT * INTO my_row FROM bar WHERE "key" = param_key;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN RETURN NULL;
END;
retval := format_string;
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${columnA}', my_row.columnA);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${columnB}', my_row.columnB);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${columnC}', my_row.columnC);
RETURN retval;
END;
/
I would like to avoid enumerating all columns one by one in the last part, because the structure of my table can change (new columns for instance). Is there a way to iterate on all columns of my_row, and to replace ${the column name} with the value stored in that column, in a generic way?
Thank you
Another way to achieve this.
Create xmltype from table row.
Create xsl-transform from format_string.
Transform xml using xsl
declare
v_string_format varchar2(200) := '{columnA} + {columnB} + {columnA}{columnB}';
v_key varchar2(10) := 'A';
v_cursor sys_refcursor;
l_xml xmltype;
v_xslt VARCHAR2(500):='<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/ROWSET/ROW">{patern}</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>';
begin
-- create xsl transform
v_string_format := upper(v_string_format);
v_string_format := REPLACE(v_string_format,'{','<xsl:value-of select="');
v_string_format := REPLACE(v_string_format,'}','"/>');
v_xslt := replace(v_xslt,'{patern}',v_string_format);
dbms_output.put_line(v_string_format);
-- open cursor for table
open v_cursor for select * from bar where key = v_key;
-- get v_cursor as xmltype.
l_xml := xmltype(v_cursor);
-- print xml
dbms_output.put_line(l_xml.getClobVal());
-- tranform xml and print result
dbms_output.put_line(l_xml.transform(xmltype(v_xslt)).getClobVal());
close v_cursor;
end;
A more efficient solution is this one. For sure you have to write more code and it uses the full scope of dynamic SQL.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo (param_key IN VARCHAR2, format_string IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
retval VARCHAR2(4000) := format_string;
cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
curId INTEGER;
descTab DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB;
colCnt NUMBER;
numvar NUMBER;
datevar DATE;
namevar VARCHAR2(4000);
tsvar TIMESTAMP;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR SELECT * FROM bar WHERE "key" = param_key;
curId := DBMS_SQL.TO_CURSOR_NUMBER(cur);
DBMS_SQL.DESCRIBE_COLUMNS(curId, colCnt, descTab);
-- Define columns
FOR i IN 1..colcnt LOOP
IF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_NUMBER THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(curid, i, numvar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_DATE THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(curid, i, datevar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_TIMESTAMP THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(curid, i, tsvar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_VARCHAR2 THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(curid, i, namevar, 4000);
--ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = ... THEN
--DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(curid, i, ...);
END IF;
END LOOP;
-- Fetch Rows
IF DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(curid) > 0 THEN
-- Fetch only the first row and do not consider if further rows exist,
-- otherwise use WHILE DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(curid) > 0 LOOP
FOR i IN 1..colcnt LOOP
IF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_VARCHAR2 THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(curid, i, namevar);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${'||desctab(i).col_name||'}', namevar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_NUMBER THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(curid, i, numvar);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${'||desctab(i).col_name||'}', numvar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_DATE THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(curid, i, datevar);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${'||desctab(i).col_name||'}', datevar);
ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = DBMS_TYPES.TYPECODE_TIMESTAMP THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(curid, i, tsvar);
retval := REPLACE(retval, '${'||desctab(i).col_name||'}', tsvar);
--ELSIF desctab(i).col_type = ... THEN
--DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(curid, i, ...);
--retval := REPLACE(retval, '${'||desctab(i).col_name||'}', ...);
END IF;
END LOOP;
ELSE
retval := NULL;
END IF;
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(curId);
RETURN retval;
END;
You can get the result you are after using dynamic queries...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo
( param_key IN VARCHAR2
, format_string IN VARCHAR2
)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
retval VARCHAR2(4000) := format_string;
cols SYS.ODCIVARCHAR2LIST;
BEGIN
SELECT COLUMN_NAME
BULK COLLECT INTO cols
FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'bar'
ORDER BY COLUMN_ID;
FOR i IN 1 .. cols.COUNT LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT REPLACE( :1, ''${' || cols(i) || '}'', ' || cols(i) || ' ) FROM bar WHERE key = :2'
INTO retval
USING retval, param_key;
END LOOP;
RETURN retval;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
RETURN NULL;
END;
/
... but:
This uses dynamic SQL to query the table directly and does not use a %ROWTYPE record.
You may not have access to USER_TAB_COLUMNS (or may need ALL_TAB_COLUMNS) and the DBA might not want you to have access to the data dictionary tables.
It is probably (almost certainly) very inefficient.
I've seen this done before and never let it pass a code review (writing out the explicit column names has always seemed preferable).
So, while it is possible, I would say don't do this.
For some reason, I have certain fields in a table, that are collections of chars. Chars of different length. Example:
create or replace type t_charray_1 as varray(5) of char(1);
create or replace type t_charray_2 as varray(5) of char(2);
create or replace type t_charray_3 as varray(5) of char(3);
create or replace type t_charray_4 as varray(5) of char(4);
create table mytable (
field1 number,
field2 t_charray_1,
field3 t_charray_3,
Also, I have a function that returns a (fixed length) string representation of a mytable record. This function calls other functions that are returning the string representation of a given collection-typed field. Examples:
function to_chr(
p_array in t_charray_1,
pad_length in number,
p_list_length in number
) return char as
v_res varchar2(255) := '';
begin
for i in 1 .. p_list_length loop
if p_array is not null and p_array.exists(i) and p_array(i) is not null then
v_res := v_res || rpad(p_array(i), pad_length, ' ');
else
v_res := v_res || rpad(' ', pad_length, ' ');
end if;
end loop;
return v_res;
end to_chr;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function to_chr(
p_array in t_charray_2,
pad_length in number,
p_list_length in number
) return char as
v_res varchar2(255) := '';
begin
for i in 1 .. p_list_length loop
if p_array is not null and p_array.exists(i) and p_array(i) is not null then
v_res := v_res || rpad(p_array(i), pad_length, ' ');
else
v_res := v_res || rpad(' ', pad_length, ' ');
end if;
end loop;
return v_res;
end to_chr;
Note that these functions are overloaded versions of each other. The only difference in their signature is the type of the p_array argument.
Please also note that the bodies of these functions are identical.
Motivation
I want to eliminate duplicate code. What are my choices?
EDIT I have heard of sys.anydata but never used it. Can it be a solution?
You could write a procedure that takes the largest type, and explicitly CAST the smaller types to the larger type before passing them. Note that CAST can only be used in SQL
DECLARE
x t_charray_1 := t_charray_1();
y t_charray_2 := t_charray_2();
PROCEDURE foo( p_foo t_charray_2 )
AS
BEGIN
FOR i IN p_foo.FIRST..p_foo.LAST loop
dbms_output.put_line( p_foo(i) );
END LOOP;
END;
BEGIN
x.EXTEND;
x.EXTEND;
x(1) := 'A';
x(2) := 'B';
y.EXTEND;
y.EXTEND;
y(1) := 'AA';
y(2) := 'BB';
foo(y);
SELECT CAST(x AS t_charray_2) INTO y FROM dual;
foo(y);
END;
/
Try:
create or replace function to_chr(p_array in anydata,
pad_length in number,
p_list_length in number) return char as
v_res varchar2(255) := '';
x number;
v_array t_charray_4;
v_array1 t_charray_1;
v_array2 t_charray_2;
v_array3 t_charray_3;
begin
dbms_output.put_line(p_array.GetTypeName);
case p_array.GetTypeName
when '<schema>.T_CHARRAY_1' then
x := p_array.GetCollection(v_array1);
select cast(v_array1 as t_charray_4) into v_array from dual;
when '<schema>.T_CHARRAY_2' then
x := p_array.GetCollection(v_array2);
select cast(v_array2 as t_charray_4) into v_array from dual;
when '<schema>.T_CHARRAY_3' then
x := p_array.GetCollection(v_array3);
select cast(v_array3 as t_charray_4) into v_array from dual;
when '<schema>.T_CHARRAY_4' then
x := p_array.GetCollection(v_array);
end case;
for i in 1 .. p_list_length loop
if v_array is not null and v_array.exists(i) and v_array(i) is not null then
v_res := v_res || rpad(v_array(i), pad_length, ' ');
else
v_res := v_res || rpad(' ', pad_length, ' ');
end if;
end loop;
return v_res;
end to_chr;
you can run it like this:
declare
p_array anydata;
v_array t_charray_3 := new t_charray_3('aaa', 'bbb');
v_res varchar2(255);
begin
p_array := anydata.convertcollection(v_array);
v_res := to_chr(p_array => p_array, pad_length => 2, p_list_length => 3);
end;
I am trying to concatenate clobs in a PL/SQL loop and it has been returning null whilst when using DBMS_OUTPUT prints out the loop values and when executing each result of the clobs gives an output as well.
The system is meant to execute an already stored SQL in a table based on the report name passed into it. This particular report has many report names; hence the concatenation of each of the reports. The arguments passed are the report name, version of the report you're interested in, the kind of separator you want, and an argument list for the unknowns in the SQL if any. There are also two main types of SQL; 1 that needs the table_name be replaced with a temp table_name and another that needs an ID be appended to a table_name in the SQL.

Cheers,

Many thanks APC for making the code look better.
#Robert, the last loop in the code returns null even with the CONCAT_CLOB aggregate function that concatenates clobs.
FOR I IN (SELECT REPNAM
FROM REPORT
WHERE REPREF NOT IN ('R01', 'R02', 'R03', 'R04'))
LOOP
SELECT CONCAT_CLOB(GET_CLOB(I.REPNAM, P_VER, P_SEPARATOR, P_ARGLIST))
INTO L_CLOB
FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I.REPNAM);
END LOOP;
when I try this,
FOR I IN (SELECT REPNAM
FROM REPORT
WHERE REPREF NOT IN ('R01', 'R02', 'R03', 'R04'))
LOOP
L_CLOB := L_CLOB || CHR(13) || GET_CLOB(I.REPNAM, P_VER, P_SEPARATOR, P_ARGLIST);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I.REPNAM);
END LOOP;
It also gives null; but this time the dbms output for the repnam are not complete.
Don't know about your code. Here is how it works for me:
Whenever I create a function returning a clob value I do this:
function foo return clob is
l_clob clob;
begin
dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => l_clob, cache => true, dur => dbms_lob.call);
...
return l_clob;
end;
When concatenating values into a clob I use a function:
procedure add_string_to_clob(p_lob in out nocopy clob
,p_string varchar2) is
begin
dbms_lob.writeappend(lob_loc => p_lob, amount => length(p_string), buffer => p_string);
end;
You have to use
dbms_lob.substr(your clob parameter,start position, length)
e.g
dbms_output('my clob value:' || dbms_lob.substr(your clob parameter,start position, length);
But you can print in a string max 4000 character, you can then use this in a looping function to print 4000 characters in each line.
