how to add zeros after decimal in Oracle - sql

I want to add zeroes after the number .
for eg a= 6895
then a= 6895.00
datatype of a is number(12);
I am using the below code .
select to_char(6895,'0000.00') from dual .
I m getting the desired result from above code but
'6895' can be any number.so due to that i need to add '0' in above code manually.
for eg.
select to_char(68955698,'00000000.00') from dual .
Can any one suggest me the better method .

The number format models are the place to start when converting numbers to characters. 0 prepends 0s, which means you'd have to get rid of them somehow. However, 9 means:
Returns value with the specified number of digits with a leading space if positive or with a leading minus if negative. Leading zeros are blank, except for a zero value, which returns a zero for the integer part of the fixed-point number.
So, the following gets you almost there, save for the leading space:
SQL> select to_char(987, '9999.00') from dual;
TO_CHAR(
--------
987.00
You then need to use a format model modifier, FM, which is described thusly:
FM Fill mode. Oracle uses trailing blank characters and leading zeroes
to fill format elements to a constant width. The width is equal to the
display width of the largest element for the relevant format model
...
The FM modifier suppresses the above padding in the return value of
the TO_CHAR function.
This gives you a format model of fm9999.00, which'll work:
SQL> select to_char(987, 'fm9999.00') from dual;
TO_CHAR(
--------
987.00
If you want a lot of digits before the decimal then simply add a lot of 9s.

datatype of a is number(12);
Then use 12 9s in the format model. And, keep the decimal to just 2. So, since the column datatype is NUMBER(12), you cannot have any number more than the given size.
SQL> WITH DATA AS(
2 SELECT 12 num FROM dual union ALL
3 SELECT 234 num FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 9999 num FROM dual UNION ALL
5 SELECT 123456789 num FROM dual)
6 SELECT to_char(num,'999999999999D99') FROM DATA
7 /
TO_CHAR(NUM,'999
----------------
12.00
234.00
9999.00
123456789.00
SQL>
Update Regarding leading spaces
SQL> select ltrim(to_char(549,'999999999999.00')) from dual;
LTRIM(TO_CHAR(54
----------------
549.00
SQL>

With using CASE and SUBSTR it is very simple.
CASE WHEN SUBSTR(COLUMN_NAME,1,1) = '.' THEN '0'||COLUMN_NAME ELSE COLUMN_NAME END

Number check in oracle sql

How to check in 10 digit number whether it contain 999 or 000 in the 4-6th bytes ?
I have a n idea with using INSTR but i don't know how to execute it
This is strange. If the "number" is really a string, then you can use like or substr():
where col like '___999%' or col like '___000%'
or:
where substr(col, 4, 3) in ('999', '000')
or even regular expressions.
Given the nature of your question, you can turn a number into a string and use these methods. However, if you are looking at particular digits, then the "number" should be stored as a string.
If they are actually numbers rather than strings then you could use numeric manipulation:
with t (n) as (
select 1234567890 from dual
union all select 1239997890 from dual
union all select 1230007890 from dual
union all select 1299967890 from dual
union all select 1234000890 from dual
)
select n,
mod(n, 10000000) as stage1,
mod(n, 10000000)/10000 as stage2,
trunc(mod(n, 10000000)/10000) as stage3,
case when trunc(mod(n, 10000000)/10000) in (0, 999) then 'Yes' else 'No' end as matches
from t;
N STAGE1 STAGE2 STAGE3 MATCHES
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------
1234567890 4567890 456.789 456 No
1239997890 9997890 999.789 999 Yes
1230007890 7890 .789 0 Yes
1299967890 9967890 996.789 996 No
1234000890 4000890 400.089 400 No
Stage 1 effectively strips off the first three digits. Stage two almost strips off the last four digits, but leaves fractions, so stage 3 adds trunc() (you could also use floor()) to ignore those fractional parts.
The result of that is the numeric value of the 4-6th digits, and you can then test if that is 0, 999 or something else.
This is really looking at the 4th to 6th most significant digits, which is the same if the number is always 10 digits; if it might actually have different numbers of digits then you'd need to clarify what you want to see.
select
1 from dual where instr(98800054542,000,4,3)in (6) or instr(98800054542,999,4,3)in (6); let me know if this helped.

PL SQL replace conditionally suggestion

I need to replace the entire word with 0 if the word has any non-digit character. For example, if digital_word='22B4' then replace with 0, else if digital_word='224' then do not replace.
SELECT replace_funtion(digital_word,'has non numeric character pattern',0,digital_word)
FROM dual;
I tried decode, regexp_instr, regexp_replace but could not come up with the right solution.
Please advise.
Thank you.
the idea is simple - you need check if the value is numeric or not
script:
with nums as
(
select '123' as num from dual union all
select '456' as num from dual union all
select '7A9' as num from dual union all
select '098' as num from dual
)
select n.*
,nvl2(LENGTH(TRIM(TRANSLATE(num, ' +-.0123456789', ' '))),'0',num)
from nums n
result
1 123 123
2 456 456
3 7A9 0
4 098 098

How can I determine if a string is numeric in SQL?

How to tell if a value is not numeric in Oracle?
You might try the following:
SELECT CASE WHEN REGEXP_LIKE(digital_word, '\D') THEN '0' ELSE digital_word END
FROM dual;
The regular expression class \D matches any non-digit character. You could also use [^0-9] to the same effect:
SELECT CASE WHEN REGEXP_LIKE(digital_word, '\D') THEN '0' ELSE digital_word END
FROM dual;
Alternately you could see if the value of digital_word is made up of nothing but digits:
SELECT CASE WHEN REGEXP_LIKE(digital_word, '^\d+$') THEN digital_word ELSE '0' END
FROM dual;
Hope this helps.
The fastest way is to replace all digits with null (to simply delete them) and see if anything is left. You don't need regular expressions (slow!) for this, you just need the standard string function TRANSLATE().
Unfortunately, Oracle has to work around their own inconsistent treatment of NULL - sometimes as empty string, sometimes not. In the case of the TRANSLATE() function, you can't simply translate every digit to nothing; you must also translate a non-digit character to itself, so that the third argument is not an empty string (which is treated as a real NULL, as in relational theory). See the Oracle documentation for the TRANSLATE() function. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/functions216.htm#SQLRF06145
Then, the result can be obtained with a CASE expression (or various forms of NULL handling functions; I prefer CASE, which is SQL Standard):
with
nums ( num ) as (
select '123' from dual union all
select '-56' from dual union all
select '7A9' from dual union all
select '0.9' from dual
)
-- End of simulated inputs (for testing only, not part of the solution).
-- SQL query begins BELOW THIS LINE. Use your own table and column names.
select num,
case when translate(num, 'z0123456789', 'z') is null
then num
else '0'
end as result
from nums
;
NUM RESULT
--- ------
123 123
-56 0
7A9 0
0.9 0
Note: everything here is in varchar2 data type (or some other kind of string data type). If the results should be converted to number, wrap the entire case expression within TO_NUMBER(). Note also that the strings '-56' and '0.9' are not all-digits (they contain non-digits), so the result is '0' for both. If this is not what you needed, you must correct the problem statement in the original post.
Something like the following update query will help you:
update [table] set [col] = '0'
where REGEXP_LIKE([col], '.*\D.*', 'i')

PLSQL Format number for display wtihout decimal limitation

I have a problem that I am pretty sure is not unique
I have a database column that has values like the following
Col
.42
1.2
5
2.222212
Now I am appending this column to sent to front end application and need to format it. But I should not be loosing any decimal values too.
So what I would want to send to the front end application would be like
0.42
1.2
5.0
2.222212
Basically, I dont want to loose out any decimal position. But no trailing zeros should be added more than 1. Similarly, a 0 should be appended before a decimal value that starts with '.' (eg: .42) But not more than 1 leading 0 should be appended.
Breaking my head on this right now. Any help would be sincerly appreciated.
Thanks
Perhaps something like this? The keys are the 0 markers (if no digit would exist there, put in a 0) and the FM (other than what's shown as required - i.e. the units digit, the decimal point and the tenths digit, make the output as narrow as possible).
This assumes the inputs are in NUMBER datatype and the desired output is string (VARCHAR2). If the inputs are strings also, wrap them within to_number().
with
test_data ( col ) as (
select .42 from dual union all
select 1.2 from dual union all
select 5 from dual union all
select 2.222212 from dual
)
-- end of test data; the SQL query is the one line below
select col, to_char(col, 'FM99999990.0999999999') as str from test_data;
COL STR
-------- --------
0.42 0.42
1.2 1.2
5 5.0
2.222212 2.222212

to_number from char sql

I have to select only the IDs which have only even digits (an ID looks like: p19 ,p20 etc). That is, p20 is good (both 2 and 0 are even digits); p18 is not.
I thought to use substr to get each number from the IDs and then see if it's even .
select from profs
where to_number(substr(id_prof,2,2))%2=0 and to_number(substr(id_prof,3,2))%2=0;
IF you need all rows consist of 'p' in beginning and even digits on tail It should look like:
select *
from profs
where regexp_like (id_prof, '^p[24680]+$');
with
profs ( prof_id ) as (
select 'p18' from dual union all
select 'p24' from dual union all
select 'p53' from dual
)
-- End of test data; what is above this line is NOT part of the solution.
-- The solution (SQL query) begins here.
select *
from profs
where length(prof_id) = length(translate(prof_id, '013579', '0'));
PROF_ID
-------
p24
This solution should work faster than anything using regular expressions. All it does is to replace 0 with itself and DELETE all odd digits from the input string. (The '0' is included due to a strange but documented behavior of translate() - the third argument can't be empty). If the length of the input string doesn't change after the translation, that means the input string didn't have any odd digits.
where mod(to_number(regexp_replace(id_prof, '[^[:digit:]]', '')),2) = 0

number format to char in oracle while creating a view

I have the below view:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewA ("col1", "col2") AS
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("col1" AS CHAR(1)),
CAST(to_char("col2",'00.0000') AS char(7))
FROM tableA
the col2 has data like 22.33 or 2.3 or 0.2345 or 2 but, four digits in dec and 2 digits in number.
It has to be written into a file with fixed length of 7 digits including decimal. Hence i wrote col2, '00.0000', but the number format'23.234' is written into col2 as 23.234 without any trailing zero.
Your format code of 00.0000 should include the fourth decimal place for 23.234; it's always worked for me. I'm using Oracle 11.
The problem I got when I tried doing CAST(TO_CHAR(23.234, '00.0000') AS CHAR(7)) was the error ORA-25137: Data value out of range. This happens because because the TO_CHAR returns a string of length 8:
SQL> SELECT '[' || TO_CHAR(23.234, '00.0000') || ']' FROM DUAL
'['||TO_CH
----------
[ 23.2340]
TO_CHAR leaves a space at the beginning in case the number is negative, in which case it will put a minus sign there. You can get rid of the leading space by using the FM modifier in the format string:
SQL> SELECT '[' || TO_CHAR(23.234, 'FM00.0000') || ']' FROM DUAL
'['||TO_CH
----------
[23.2340]
This is all a long way of saying "try this instead" - the only change is the FM in the TO_CHAR format string:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewA ("col1", "col2") AS
SELECT DISTINCT
CAST("col1" AS CHAR(1)),
CAST(to_char("col2",'FM00.0000') AS char(7))
FROM tableA
One final note: enclosing the column names with double quotes makes them case sensitive, and that often leads to trouble. I'd recommend losing the double quotes if you can.
You need to use the RPAD function that would add trailing zeros for you
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewA ("col1", "col2") AS
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("col1" AS CHAR(1)),
RPAD(CAST(to_char("col2",'00.0000') AS char(7)),7,'0')
FROM tableA
But you might face a problem if your number did not have a decimal value, for example assuming the value is 12 you will end up with 1200000 but maybe this would give you an idea
