SQL Split String to letters each one in row - sql

Question

I have case to get String from table , Split it to letters , each letter represent "active/inactive" "0/1" , then return description from other table for just all active letter IN ONE CELL ..
NOTE: Letters order as it is in other table ..
this is my case :
CREATE TABLE Strings_tab
(
Str_id NUMBER,
Str_text VARCHAR2 (40)
);
CREATE TABLE Reprsnt_Tab
(
rep_id NUMBER,
rep_text VARCHAR2 (40)
);
INSERT INTO Strings_tab VALUES (1, '1111111111000000000011111111110000000000');
INSERT INTO Strings_tab VALUES (2, '0000011111000001111100000111110000011111');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (1, 'rep1');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (2, 'rep2');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (3, 'rep3');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (4, 'rep4');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (5, 'rep5');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (6, 'rep6');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (7, 'rep7');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (8, 'rep8');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (9, 'rep9');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (10, 'rep10');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (11, 'rep11');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (12, 'rep12');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (13, 'rep13');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (14, 'rep14');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (15, 'rep15');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (16, 'rep16');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (17, 'rep17');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (18, 'rep18');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (19, 'rep19');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (20, 'rep20');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (21, 'rep21');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (22, 'rep22');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (23, 'rep23');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (24, 'rep24');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (25, 'rep25');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (26, 'rep26');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (27, 'rep27');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (28, 'rep28');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (29, 'rep29');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (30, 'rep30');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (31, 'rep31');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (32, 'rep32');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (33, 'rep33');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (34, 'rep34');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (35, 'rep35');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (36, 'rep36');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (37, 'rep37');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (38, 'rep38');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (39, 'rep39');
INSERT INTO Reprsnt_Tab VALUES (40, 'rep40');
COMMIT;
this is my query :
SELECT STR_TEXT,
RTRIM (
XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT (E, DATA.REP_TEXT || ',' || CHR (10))).EXTRACT (
'//text()'),
',')
REPS
FROM ( SELECT LETTER,
STR_ID,
LVL,
STR_TEXT,
REP_TEXT
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR (A.STR_TEXT, LEVEL, 1) LETTER,
A.STR_ID,
LEVEL LVL,
A.STR_TEXT
FROM STRINGS_TAB A
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH (A.STR_TEXT) ---- HERE IS MY PROBLEM
) TXT,
( SELECT ROWNUM RN, REPRSNT_TAB.*
FROM REPRSNT_TAB
ORDER BY REP_ID) B
WHERE B.RN = TXT.LVL AND LETTER = 1
ORDER BY STR_ID, STR_TEXT, LVL) DATA
GROUP BY STR_TEXT
This query get correct data
If i put like 10 in place of "LENGTH (A.STR_TEXT)" to get first 10 letters of each string.
BUT .. If "LENGTH (A.STR_TEXT)" was so big , in my case 40 , the query will hang
so, please , advice me .. in this case ???
RESULT from my Query , IF I put "LEVEL <= 10" :
STR_TEXT REP
------------------------------- ------------------------------
000001111100000111110000011111 rep6,rep10,rep9,rep8,rep7
111111111100000000001111111111 rep1,rep10,rep9,rep8,rep7,rep6,rep5,rep4,rep3,rep2

Answer 1

My approach takes the CONNECT BY to an auxiliary table (using CONNECT BY LEVEL in a table with more than 1 row is not a good idea IMHO. Look here) :
with aux as (select level as lvl
from dual
connect by level <= (select max(length(str_text)) from strings_tab))
SELECT STR_TEXT,
RTRIM (
XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT (E, DATA.REP_TEXT || ',' || CHR (10))).EXTRACT (
'//text()'),
',')
REPS
FROM ( SELECT LETTER,
STR_ID,
LVL,
STR_TEXT,
REP_TEXT
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR (A.STR_TEXT, LVL, 1) LETTER,
A.STR_ID,
LVL,
A.STR_TEXT
FROM STRINGS_TAB A join aux x on x.lvl <=LENGTH (A.STR_TEXT)
) TXT,
( SELECT ROWNUM RN, REPRSNT_TAB.*
FROM REPRSNT_TAB
ORDER BY REP_ID) B
WHERE B.RN = TXT.LVL AND LETTER = 1
ORDER BY STR_ID, STR_TEXT, LVL) DATA
GROUP BY STR_TEXT;
OUTPUT (WITHOUT (CHAR(10))
STR_TEXT REPS
0000011111000001111100000111110000011111 rep6,rep40,rep39,rep38,rep37,rep36,rep30,rep29,rep28,rep27,rep26,rep20,rep19,rep18,rep17,rep16,rep10,rep9,rep8,rep7
1111111111000000000011111111110000000000 rep1,rep30,rep29,rep28,rep27,rep26,rep25,rep24,rep23,rep22,rep21,rep10,rep9,rep8,rep7,rep6,rep5,rep4,rep3,rep2

Answer 2

This is My Answer :
SELECT str_text,
LISTAGG (DATA.REP_TEXT, ',' || CHR (10))
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY DATA.rn_rep)
reps
FROM (SELECT *
FROM ( SELECT str_text, SUBSTR (str_text, rn, 1) OneDigit, rn
FROM (SELECT str_text FROM STRINGS_TAB) txt,
( SELECT ROWNUM rn
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <=
(SELECT MAX (LENGTH (str_text))
FROM STRINGS_TAB)) rep
WHERE REP.RN <= LENGTH(str_text)
ORDER BY Str_text, rn) xx,
( SELECT ROWNUM rn_rep, rep_text
FROM REPRSNT_TAB
ORDER BY rn_rep) desc_rep
WHERE desc_rep.rn_rep = xx.rn AND OneDigit = 1) data
GROUP BY str_text

Answer 3

select Str_id
,Str_text
,xmlquery('let $abc := for $i in 1 to string-length($str)
where substring($str, $i, 1) = "1"
return $data/rows/row[$i]/text()
return string-join( $abc, ",")'
passing Str_text as "str"
, (select xmlelement("rows",xmlagg(xmlelement( "row",rep_text) order by rep_id)) from Reprsnt_Tab) as "data"
returning content
) from Strings_tab
The table Reprsnt_Tab is aggregate to one xmlelemtnt. To access selected row you have to just do $doc/rows/row[$selected_row_nr]/text()
