I'm using Oracle 11g, and I would like to split a column (JobDescription) from the Persons table into separate words.
I.e. If Person A's Job Description is "Professional StackOverflow Contributor", I would like to populate another table with 3 rows containing the 3 words from the Job Description.
From another post here, I managed to get the following which is working for smaller sets of data. But my table contains just less that 500 000 records and the statement has now been running for 2 days and it's still going.
INSERT INTO WORDS (PersonID, Department, Word)
SELECT distinct PersonID, Department, trim(regexp_substr(str, '[^,]+', 1, level))
FROM (SELECT PersonID, Department, trim(Replace(JobDescription, ' ', ',')) str
FROM Persons) t
CONNECT BY instr( str , ',', 1, level - 1) > 0;
Are there another option that might result in quicker results?
For a one-off job, I see no reason not to go procedural. This should be quick enough (250 seconds for a 2.5 million row table on my system). Change the size of the varchar2 variables if your words can be longer than 40 characters.
create or replace procedure tmp_split_job as
TYPE wtype IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(40);
uwords wtype;
w varchar2(40);
i pls_integer;
n pls_integer;
p pls_integer;
cursor c_fetch is select PersonID, Department, JobDescription from Persons where JobDescription is not null;
begin
for v_row in c_fetch loop
n := length(v_row.JobDescription);
i := 1;
while i <= n loop
p := instr(v_row.JobDescription, ' ', i);
if p > 1 then
w := substr(v_row.JobDescription, i, p-i);
i := p + 1;
else
w := substr(v_row.JobDescription, i);
i := n + 1;
end if;
uwords(w) := 1;
end loop;
w := uwords.FIRST;
while w is not null loop
insert into words (PersonID, Department, Word) values (v_row.PersonID, v_row.Department, w);
w := uwords.next(w);
end loop;
uwords.DELETE;
end loop;
end;
/
exec tmp_split_job;
drop procedure tmp_split_job;

In APEX I created a page and here a region. The region reports a classic report. I have selected "PL/SQL function body that returns an SQL query" as the source. Here I have also deposited the following code
declare
l_date_string varchar2(32000);
l_date_diff number(4);
x NUMBER := 0;
l_script varchar2(32000);
l_script_pivot varchar2(32000);
new_date varchar(256);
begin
l_date_diff:=TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_UNTIL, 'dd.mm.yyyy') - TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_FROM, 'dd.mm.yyyy') ;
While X < l_date_diff+1 Loop
new_date := to_char(TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_FROM, 'dd.mm.yyyy')+X,'dd.mm.yyyy');
l_date_string := l_date_string || ',''' || new_date || '''';
X := X + 1;
End Loop;
l_date_string := substr(l_date_string,2);
l_script := 'Select * from
(Select
pkey,
to_char(createdformat,''dd.mm.yyyy'') business_date,
regexp_substr(statistics, ''business_\w*'') business_statistics
from
gss.business_data
where
statistics like ''%business_%''
and createdformat between :P2066_DATE_FROM and :P2066_DATE_UNTIL
) ';
l_script_pivot := l_script || ' pivot(
count(pkey)
for business_date
in ('||l_date_string||'))';
sys.htp.p('<li>' || l_script_pivot || ' </li>' );
return l_script_pivot;
end;
The first column, Business_Statistis, is always displayed, the date in the subsequent columns should be displayed dynamically - depending on the selection of the period.
I also spent the respective code according to the time period selection and knew it successfully as a classic report with an SQL query. That's working.
How can I now dynamically update the classic report with a PL / SQL action. That means that depending on the result, the Classic Report is always displayed?
I once selected to use Generic Number of Columns in parallel, with a number of 365. Then he shows me the columns, but the column heading is not the date but Col2, Col3, Col4 and so on
There are a few ways to solve this issue.
Option 1: If you're happy to use "Generic Number of Columns", then select PL/SQL as your "Headings Type". Then define your headings with PL/SQL e.g.
DECLARE
v_heading varchar2(2000);
l_date_diff number(4);
BEGIN
v_headings := 'business_statistics';
l_date_diff:=TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_UNTIL, 'dd.mm.yyyy') - TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_FROM, 'dd.mm.yyyy') ;
WHILE X < l_date_diff+1 LOOP
new_date := to_char(TO_DATE(:P2066_DATE_FROM, 'dd.mm.yyyy')+X,'dd.mm.yyyy');
v_headings := v_headings ||':' || new_date ;
X := X + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
Option 2: I assume you are using "PL/SQL function body that returns an SQL query" to get around the "in clause" of the pivot? Another way to fix this is to define your pivot clause as a page item. E.g. P2066_PIVOT_CLAUSE. You can then set the pivot clause with a before header process. Then you can use standard SQL in your report.
i.e.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT pkey,
to_char(createdformat,'dd.mm.yyyy') business_date,
regexp_substr(statistics, 'business_\w*') business_statistics
FROM
gss.business_data
WHERE
statistics like '%business_%'
AND createdformat BETWEEN :P2066_DATE_FROM AND :P2066_DATE_UNTIL)
PIVOT (COUNT(pkey)FOR business_date in (&P2066_PIVOT_CLAUSE.))
I have an sql query running on a loop. There are two values FINGER and index_str that both need to be updated in parallel.
FINGER: (numpy array)
[['1012_8']
['10214_5']
['10409_9']
index_str: (pandas dataframe)
0 14,38,51,65,84,85
1 3,34,58,65,66,75
2 3,15,68,70,80,82
Above are the first 3 examples. There are over 1000 of each in reality.
for i in range(len(FINGER)):
print i
print FINGER[i]
for x in index_str[i]:
yy = FINGER[i][0]
#print range(len(FINGER))
index_str = str(x)
query = "SELECT finger, ind, x,y, CAST( (direction*180/3.142)as INT),CAST(quality*100 as INT) from UNIL_fingerprints where finger = '" + yy + "' and ind IN (" + index_str + ") order by ind "
print query
c.execute(query)
rows = c.fetchall()
print rows
Above is the loop and query in question.
So far the loop runs through all values of index_str for only the first FINGER value. To elaborate, the query updates for the first 3 examples as follows.
SELECT finger, ind, x,y, CAST( (direction*180/3.142)as INT),CAST(quality*100 as INT) from UNIL_fingerprints where finger = '1012_8' and ind IN (14,38,51,65,84,85) order by ind
SELECT finger, ind, x,y, CAST( (direction*180/3.142)as INT),CAST(quality*100 as INT) from UNIL_fingerprints where finger = '1012_8' and ind IN (3,34,58,65,66,75) order by ind
SELECT finger, ind, x,y, CAST( (direction*180/3.142)as INT),CAST(quality*100 as INT) from UNIL_fingerprints where finger = '1012_8' and ind IN (3,15,68,70,80,82) order by ind
Whereas '1012_8' should be '10214_5' and '10409_9' respectively in the 2nd and 3rd query above.
Any ideas on how to get this to update properly would be helpful.
You want zip():
for finger, indexes in zip(FINGERS, index_str):
print("fingers : {}- indexes: {}".format(finger, indexes))
Also you REALLY want to learn and use the db-api properly (well, unless you dont mind being hacked, that is).
I have created the below function that will return workspace details which the loggedin user has access to.
But this function is returning only the first record from the select list.
I need all the records to be displayed as output.
Please modify it and let me know.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "F_WORKSPACE_LOGIN_USERS" (
p_email VARCHAR2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
l_error VARCHAR2(1000);
l_workspace VARCHAR2(1000);
l_teams VARCHAR2(1000);
l_team VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN ( SELECT a.name workspace,
a.team_id id
FROM slackdatawarehouse.teams a,
( SELECT TRIM(workspaces) workspaces
FROM alluser_workspaces_fact
WHERE lower(email) = lower(p_email)
) b
WHERE a.team_id IN ( SELECT c.team_id
FROM slackdatawarehouse.team_tokens c
)
OR instr(', '
|| lower(b.workspaces),', '
|| lower(a.name) ) > 0
ORDER BY 1 ) LOOP
l_teams := l_team
|| ','
|| i.id;
l_teams := ltrim(rtrim(l_teams,','),',');
RETURN l_teams;
END LOOP;
END;
Current output is :
T6HPQ5LF7,T6XBXVAA1,T905JLZ62,T7CN08JPQ,T9MV4732M,T5PGS72NA,T5A4YHMUH,TAAFTFS0P,T69BE9T2A,T85D2D8MT,T858U7SF4,T9D16DF5X,T9DHDV61G,T9D17RDT3,T5Y03HDQ8,T5F5QPRK7
Required output is :
T6HPQ5LF7
T6XBXVAA1
T905JLZ62
i need output like above as one by one
I don't know what that code really does (can't test it), but this might be the culprit:
...
RETURN l_teams;
END LOOP;
As soon as code reaches the RETURN statement, it exits the loop and ... well, returns what's currently in L_TEAMS variable. Therefore, move RETURN out of the loop:
...
END LOOP;
RETURN l_teams;
If it still doesn't work as expected (which might be the case), have a look at pipelined functions (for example, on Oracle-base site) as they are designed to return values you seem to be looking for.
A simple example:
SQL> create or replace type t_dp_row as object
2 (deptno number,
3 dname varchar2(20));
4 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace type t_dp_tab is table of t_dp_row;
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace function f_depts
2 return t_dp_tab pipelined
3 is
4 begin
5 for cur_r in (select deptno, dname from dept)
6 loop
7 pipe row(t_dp_row(cur_r.deptno, cur_r.dname));
8 end loop;
9 return;
10 end;
11 /
Function created.
SQL> select * from table(f_depts);

This is the third and final remaining problem to a massive data cleaning task I have been working on for over a year. Thank you Stack Overflow community for helping figure out:
Problem 1- Index multiple columns and Match distinct values....
Problem 2- Count unique values that match ID, optimized for 100,000+ cases.
I'm not 100% sure if the following is achievable in excel, but I'll do my best to describe the data cleaning and organization challenge I'm faced with.
I have a series of data markers/attributes that are in a random order across 24 columns, spanning 500,000+ rows. Image 1 below is an example of what the data looks like in raw form, presented across 12 columns and spanning 22 rows for illustrative simplicity. Columns A through L contain the raw data and Columns M through X represent the desired output.
SUMMARY OF THE TASK: What needs to be accomplished is a series of matching functions that search through all indexed columns (in this case columns A through L) to identify unique values (e.g. 1), search for the value in range (in this case A2:L21 range), identify the adjacent values to the unique value (for value 1, adjacent values are 2 and 13-XR), then output them in a descending sequence from most frequently occurring value to least frequently occurring in each row that contains any of the values in question (in this case, 1 occurs 5 times and is placed in M2 through M6; 2 occurs 3 times and is placed in N2 through N6; and 13-XR occurs 2 times and is placed in O2 through O6).
To clarify, below is a step by step description using colours to illustrate the pattern matching in the raw data (columns A through L) and how these patterns should then presented in the output (columns M through X). I've sectioned off each of the following images into the six patterns that are in the raw data.
The above image is the first pattern that would be identified by the VBA solution. It would identify "1" as a unique value and search through the A:L range for number of instances of "1" (highlighted in blue), then identify all the values that can be found adjacent in the same row: "2" in rows 3, 5, and 6 (highlighted in green); and "13-XR" in rows 4 and 5 (highlighted in pink). This would then need to be done for "2", identifying the adjacent values ("1" and "13-XR"), and then for "13-XR", identifying ("1" and "2" as adjacent values). The output would return the unique values with the most frequently occurring in Column M ("1" occurs 5 times), then the second most occurring in Column N ("2" occurs 3 times), and the third most occurring in Column O ("13-XR" occurs 2 times).
The above is little more complex. The VBA would identify "3" as a unique value, search through the A:L range for other instances of "3" and identify all the values that are adjacent to it (in this case, "4", "7", and "9"). It would then do the same for "4", identifying all adjacent values (only "3"); then for "7", identifying adjacent values ("9", "3", and "12"); then for "9" identifying ("7", and "3"); and finally, for "12" identifying adjacent values (only "7"). Then for each row where any of these values are present, the output would return a "3" in column M (occurring three times) and a "7" in column N (also occurring three times); if counts are equal, they could be presented in ascending fashion A to Z or smallest to largest... or just random, the ordering of equal counts is arbitrary for my purposes. "9" would be returned in column O as it occurs two times, then "4" in column P and "12" in column Q, as they both occur once but 12 is greater than 4.
The above image represents what is likely to be a common occurrence, where there is only one unique value. Here, "5" is not identified in any other columns in the range. It is thus returned as "5" in column M for each row where a "5" is present.
This will be another of the more common occurrences, where one value may be present in one row and two values present in another row. In this instance "6" is only identified once in the range and "8" is the only adjacent value found. When "8" is searched for it only returns one instance of an adjacent value "6". Here, "8" occurs twice and "6" only once, thus resulting in "8" imputed in column M and "6" imputed in column N wherever an "8" or a "6" are present in the row.
Here "10", "111", "112", "543", "433", "444", and "42-FG" are identified as unique values associated with one another in the A:L range. All values except "10" occur twice, which are returned in columns M through S in descending order.
This final pattern is identified in the same manner as above, just with more unique values (n=10).
FINAL NOTES: I have no idea how to accomplish this within excel, but I'm hoping someone else has the knowledge to move this problem forward. Here are some additional notes about the data that might help towards a resolution:
The first column will always be sorted in ascending order. I can do additional custom sorts if it simplifies things.
Out of the ~500,000 rows, 15% only have one attribute value (one value in column A), 30% have two attribute values (1 value in col A & 1 value in col B), 13% have three attribute values (1 value in col A, B, & C).
I have presented small numbers in this example. The actual raw data values in each cell will be closer to 20 characters in length.
A solution that does everything except present the patterns in descending order would be absolutely cool. The sorting would be great but I can live without it if it causes too much trouble.
If anything in this description needs further clarification, or if I can provide additional information, please let me know and I'll adjust as needed.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this final challenge of mine.
ADDENDUM:
There was a memory error happening with the full data set. #ambie figured out the source of the error was adjacent chains (results) numbering in the 1000s (trying to return results across 1000s of columns). Seems the problem is not with the solution or the data, just hitting a limitation within excel. A possible solution to this is (see image below) to add two new columns (ATT_COUNT as column M; ATT_ALL as column Z). ATT_COUNT in Column M would return the total number of unique values that would ordinarily be returned across columns. Only up to the top 12 most frequently occurring values would be returned in columns N through Y (ATT_1_CL through ATT_12_CL). To get around the instances where ATT_COUNT is > 12 (& upwards of 1000+), we can return all the unique values in space delimited format in ATT_ALL (column Z). For example, in the image below, rows 17, 18, 19, and 21, have 17 unique values in the chain. Only the first 12 most frequently occurring values are presented in columns N through Y. All 17 values are presented in space delimited format in column Z.
Here is a link to this mini example test data.
Here is a link to a mid sized sample of test data of ~50k rows.
Here is a link to the full sized sample test data of ~500k rows.
We don't normally provide a 'code for you service' but I know in previous questions you have provided some sample code that you've tried, and I can see how you wouldn't know where to start with this.
For your future coding work, the trick is to break the problem down into individual tasks. For your problem, these would be:
Identify all the unique values and acquire a list of all the adjacent values - fairly simple.
Create a list of 'chains' which link one adjacent value to the next - this is more awkward because, although the list appears sorted, the adjacent values are not, so a value relatively low down in the list might be adjacent to a higher value that is already part of a chain (the 3 in your sample is an example of this). So the simplest thing would be to assign the chains only after all the unique values have been read.
Map of each unique value to its appropriate 'chain' - I've done this by creating an index for the chains and assigning the relevant one to the unique value.
Collection objects are ideal for you because they deal with the issue of duplicates, allow you to populate lists of an unknown size and make value mapping easy with their Key property. To make the coding easy to read, I've created a class containing some fields. So first of all, insert a Class Module and call it cItem. The code behind this class would be:
Option Explicit
Public Element As String
Public Frq As Long
Public AdjIndex As Long
Public Adjs As Collection
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Adjs = New Collection
End Sub
In your module, the tasks could be coded as follows:
Dim data As Variant, adj As Variant
Dim uniques As Collection, chains As Collection, chain As Collection
Dim oItem As cItem, oAdj As cItem
Dim r As Long, c As Long, n As Long, i As Long, maxChain As Long
Dim output() As Variant
'Read the data.
'Note: Define range as you need.
With Sheet1
data = .Range(.Cells(2, "A"), _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) _
.Resize(, 12) _
.Value2
End With
'Find the unique values
Set uniques = New Collection
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
For c = 1 To UBound(data, 2)
If IsEmpty(data(r, c)) Then Exit For
Set oItem = Nothing: On Error Resume Next
Set oItem = uniques(CStr(data(r, c))): On Error GoTo 0
If oItem Is Nothing Then
Set oItem = New cItem
oItem.Element = CStr(data(r, c))
uniques.Add oItem, oItem.Element
End If
oItem.Frq = oItem.Frq + 1
'Find the left adjacent value
If c > 1 Then
On Error Resume Next
oItem.Adjs.Add uniques(CStr(data(r, c - 1))), CStr(data(r, c - 1))
On Error GoTo 0
End If
'Find the right adjacent value
If c < UBound(data, 2) Then
If Not IsEmpty(data(r, c + 1)) Then
On Error Resume Next
oItem.Adjs.Add uniques(CStr(data(r, c + 1))), CStr(data(r, c + 1))
On Error GoTo 0
End If
End If
Next
Next
'Define the adjacent indexes.
For Each oItem In uniques
'If the item has a chain index, pass it to the adjacents.
If oItem.AdjIndex <> 0 Then
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = oItem.AdjIndex
Next
Else
'If an adjacent has a chain index, pass it to the item.
i = 0
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
If oAdj.AdjIndex <> 0 Then
i = oAdj.AdjIndex
Exit For
End If
Next
If i <> 0 Then
oItem.AdjIndex = i
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = i
Next
End If
'If we're still missing a chain index, create a new one.
If oItem.AdjIndex = 0 Then
n = n + 1
oItem.AdjIndex = n
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = n
Next
End If
End If
Next
'Populate the chain lists.
Set chains = New Collection
For Each oItem In uniques
Set chain = Nothing: On Error Resume Next
Set chain = chains(CStr(oItem.AdjIndex)): On Error GoTo 0
If chain Is Nothing Then
'It's a new chain so create a new collection.
Set chain = New Collection
chain.Add oItem.Element, CStr(oItem.Element)
chains.Add chain, CStr(oItem.AdjIndex)
Else
'It's an existing chain, so find the frequency position (highest first).
Set oAdj = uniques(chain(chain.Count))
If oItem.Frq <= oAdj.Frq Then
chain.Add oItem.Element, CStr(oItem.Element)
Else
For Each adj In chain
Set oAdj = uniques(adj)
If oItem.Frq > oAdj.Frq Then
chain.Add Item:=oItem.Element, Key:=CStr(oItem.Element), Before:=adj
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End If
'Get the column count of output array
If chain.Count > maxChain Then maxChain = chain.Count
Next
'Populate each row with the relevant chain
ReDim output(1 To UBound(data, 1), 1 To maxChain)
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
Set oItem = uniques(CStr(data(r, 1)))
Set chain = chains(CStr(oItem.AdjIndex))
c = 1
For Each adj In chain
output(r, c) = adj
c = c + 1
Next
Next
'Write the output to sheet.
'Note: adjust range to suit.
Sheet1.Range("M2").Resize(UBound(output, 1), UBound(output, 2)).Value = output
This isn't the most efficient way of doing it, but it does make each task more obvious to you. I'm not sure I understood the full complexities of your data structure, but the code above does reproduce your sample, so it should give you something to work with.
Update
Okay, now I've seen your comments and the real data, below is some revised code which should be quicker and deals with the fact that the apparently 'empty' cells are actually null strings.
First of all create a class called cItem and add code behind:
Option Explicit
Public Name As String
Public Frq As Long
Public Adj As Collection
Private mChainIndex As Long
Public Property Get ChainIndex() As Long
ChainIndex = mChainIndex
End Property
Public Property Let ChainIndex(val As Long)
Dim oItem As cItem
If mChainIndex = 0 Then
mChainIndex = val
For Each oItem In Me.Adj
oItem.ChainIndex = val
Next
End If
End Property
Public Sub AddAdj(oAdj As cItem)
Dim t As cItem
On Error Resume Next
Set t = Me.Adj(oAdj.Name)
On Error GoTo 0
If t Is Nothing Then Me.Adj.Add oAdj, oAdj.Name
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Adj = New Collection
End Sub
Now create another class called cChain with code behind as:
Option Explicit
Public Index As Long
Public Members As Collection
Public Sub AddItem(oItem As cItem)
Dim oChainItem As cItem
With Me.Members
Select Case .Count
Case 0 'First item so just add it.
.Add oItem, oItem.Name
Case Is < 12 'Fewer than 12 items, so add to end or in order.
Set oChainItem = .item(.Count)
If oItem.Frq <= oChainItem.Frq Then 'It's last in order so just add it.
.Add oItem, oItem.Name
Else 'Find its place in order.
For Each oChainItem In Me.Members
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
.Add oItem, oItem.Name, before:=oChainItem.Name
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Case 12 'Full list, so find place and remove last item.
Set oChainItem = .item(12)
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
For Each oChainItem In Me.Members
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
.Add oItem, oItem.Name, before:=oChainItem.Name
.Remove 13
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End Select
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Members = New Collection
End Sub
Finally, your module code would be:
Option Explicit
Public Sub ProcessSheet()
Dim data As Variant
Dim items As Collection, chains As Collection
Dim oItem As cItem, oAdj As cItem
Dim oChain As cChain
Dim txt As String
Dim r As Long, c As Long, n As Long
Dim output() As Variant
Dim pTick As Long, pCount As Long, pTot As Long, pTask As String
'Read the data.
pTask = "Reading data..."
Application.StatusBar = pTask
With Sheet1
data = .Range(.Cells(2, "A"), _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) _
.Resize(, 12) _
.Value2
End With
'Collect unique and adjacent values.
pTask = "Finding uniques "
pCount = 0: pTot = UBound(data, 1): pTick = 0
Set items = New Collection
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
If ProgressTicked(pTot, pCount, pTick) Then
Application.StatusBar = pTask & pTick & "%"
DoEvents
End If
For c = 1 To UBound(data, 2)
txt = data(r, c)
If Len(txt) = 0 Then Exit For
Set oItem = GetOrCreateItem(items, txt)
oItem.Frq = oItem.Frq + 1
'Take adjacent on left.
If c > 1 Then
txt = data(r, c - 1)
If Len(txt) > 0 Then
Set oAdj = GetOrCreateItem(items, txt)
oItem.AddAdj oAdj
End If
End If
'Take adjacent on right.
If c < UBound(data, 2) Then
txt = data(r, c + 1)
If Len(txt) > 0 Then
Set oAdj = GetOrCreateItem(items, txt)
oItem.AddAdj oAdj
End If
End If
Next
Next
'Now that we have all the items and their frequencies,
'we can find the adjacent chain indexes by a recursive
'call of the ChainIndex set property.
pTask = "Find chain indexes "
pCount = 0: pTot = items.Count: pTick = 0
Set chains = New Collection
n = 1 'Chain index.
For Each oItem In items
If ProgressTicked(pTot, pCount, pTick) Then
Application.StatusBar = pTask & pTick & "%"
DoEvents
End If
If oItem.ChainIndex = 0 Then
oItem.ChainIndex = n

In one of the column I have role and organization position
Example postion is 1 and organization is 310492 ...
1|310492|1|12319|1|562548|1|5202558
I need to convert this string to multiple rows
1,310492
1,12319
1,562548
1,5202558
I can not use WITH clause as I need to have is as correlated subquery
SELECT EXTRACT (VALUE (d), '//row/text()').getstringval ()
FROM (SELECT XMLTYPE ( '<rows><row>' || REPLACE (USERPROF.FIELD1, '|', '</row><row>') || '</row></rows>' ) AS xmlval FROM USERPROF WHERE FIELD1 IS NOT NULL ) x, TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE (EXTRACT (x.xmlval, '/rows/row'))) d
however this is converting entire string to multiple rows.
I tried playing with regexp and connect which is not helping me but fetching content of entire table by ignore where condition.
select regexp_substr(FIELD1,'[^|]+', 1, LEVEL) from USERPROF WHERE USERS_ID = 23502
connect by regexp_substr(FIELD1, '[^|]+', 1, level ) is not null;
Thanks in advance.
The SQL below:
with data as
(select '1|310492|1|12319|1|562548|1|5202558' as x from dual)
select fin from(
select 1+level-1 as occurrence
, instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1) as pos
, nvl(lead(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1)
, length(x))
as xxxx
, case when
nvl(lead(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1)
, length(x)) = length(x)
then instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1)
else
nvl(lag(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1),1) end as yyyy
, substr(x
,case when
nvl(lead(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1)
, length(x)) = length(x)
then instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1)
else
nvl(lag(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1),1) end
,nvl(lead(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1)
, length(x))
- case when
nvl(lead(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1)
, length(x)) = length(x)
then instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1)
else
nvl(lag(instr(x,'|',1,1+level-1),1) over (order by 1+level-1),1) end
) as fin
, length(x) as lastrw
from data
connect by level <= length(x) - length(replace(x, '|')) - 1
order by 1) x
where mod(occurrence,2) = 1 or xxxx = lastrw
Results in:
FIN
1|310492
|1|12319
|1|562548
|1|520255
Note that I'm just using the with clause to use the data you gave as an example.
