I am using Oracle SQL developer 2012. My data looks like 'valueA-valueB'. I want to strip the content after - and populate with rest.

You can use a combination of substr and instr:
SELECT SUBSTR(my_column, 1, INSTR(my_column, '-') - 1)
FROM my_table

How can I find data that dont end with letter 'g' without using NOT LIKE function, please help
select * from table where right(column, 1) != 'g'
Since you asked how to do it using "not like," I'll answer that. The function version provided by #Zoories would be more efficient.
This works at w3schools.com
SELECT * FROM Customers where CustomerName not like '%g';

now im investigating SQL Query for making Datawarehouse.
I found this query on it :
MAX(dbo.GetAliasesByWo(b_1.wo_part, b_1.wo__dec01, RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo__chr01)), RIGHT(RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo_rmks)), 1))) AS list_wo,
MAX(dbo.GetAliasesByWo1(b_1.wo_part, b_1.wo__dec01, RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo__chr01)), RIGHT(RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo_rmks)), 1))) AS list_wo1,
MAX(dbo.GetAliasesByWo2(b_1.wo_part, b_1.wo__dec01, RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo__chr01)), RIGHT(RTRIM(LTRIM(b_1.wo_rmks)), 1))) AS list_wo2
did anyone knows whats the meaning ? could you explain to me ?
You can use sp_helptext command to view the definition.I think the given GetAliasesByWo is an user-defined function you can check the definititon with the below query:
EXEC [ServerName].[DatabaseName].dbo.sp_helptext 'dbo.GetAliasesByWo'

I have string like below
ThisSentence.should.split.beforeFirstPeriod.ofTheSentence
I want to select ThisSentence.
How can I do it with regexp_substr()?
Simple SUBSTR() and INSTR() can do the same job:
SUBSTR(YourString, 0, INSTR(YourString, '.')-1)
Sagi's answer is correct. However, Oracle also offers regexp_substr() which provides more general functionality:
select regexp_substr(str, '[^.]+', 1, 1)

Team,
I need a sql query or function which will create the mirror image of string.
Thanks
Rajeev
If "mirror" is reversed text use:
SELECT REVERSE('my_text') FROM dual;
EDIT:
SqlFiddleDemo
SELECT t
,REVERSE(t) AS Mirror1
,TRANSLATE(t, 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',N'ɐqɔpǝɟbɥıظʞןɯuodbɹsʇnʌʍxʎz') AS Mirror2
,TRANSLATE(REVERSE(t), 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',N'ɐqɔpǝɟbɥıظʞןɯuodbɹsʇnʌʍxʎz') AS Mirror3
FROM tab;
