I try to select from table_1 where ITEM_FIELD_A is not in ITEM_FIELD_B. The Item_FIELD_B value are look as below. I was expecting no COVER_TAPE & SHIPPING_REELS will be selected. But unfortunately, it's not working.
The sql I used to select the table
select * from table_1 where MST.ITEM_FIELD_A not in ITEM_FIELD_B
Question:
In Oracle, is there any function to decode the string. so that the above select statement will not return COVER_TAPE and SHIPPING_REELS??
The IN operator would be used when you wish to compare (or negate) one item in a list such as
WHERE ITEM_FIELD_A NOT IN ('COVER_TAPE', 'SHIPPING_REELS', '')
What you want is the LIKE operator:
WHERE ITEM_FIELD_B NOT LIKE '%' || ITEM_FIELD_A || '%'
Apologies if I got the wildcard wrong, been a while since I last touched Oracle.
Check out below Query:
WITH TAB1 AS
( SELECT 'COVER_TAPE' ITEM_A FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'CARRIER_TAPE' ITEM_A FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'SHIPPING_REELS' ITEM_A FROM DUAL
),
TAB2 AS
(
SELECT 'COVER_TAPE,SHIPPING_REELS' ITEM_B FROM DUAL
)
SELECT ITEM_A, ITEM_B FROM TAB1, TAB2 WHERE INSTR(ITEM_B, ITEM_A) <=0
INSTR will return >0 if same sequence of characters is available.

I have the below table:
COL
---
XXY
YXX
XXX
NULL
I want to filter out the rows which don't consist of all 'X's.
Expected output:
COL
---
XXX
We can use REGEXP_LIKE here:
SELECT COL
FROM yourTable
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(COL, '^X+$'); -- ^X+$ means all X from start to end
Another similar version:
SELECT COL
FROM yourTable
WHERE NOT REGEXP_LIKE(COL, '[^X]'); -- this means no non X present
Another option(without using a regular expression) might be using
WITH t(col) AS
(
SELECT 'XXY' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'YXX' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'XXX' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT NULL FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'XX ' FROM dual
)
SELECT *
FROM t
WHERE REPLACE(NVL(col,'Y'),'X') IS NULL;
COL
----
XXX
without forgetting the case col = NULL through use of a NVL()
You can use the following syntax (assuming you are using MySQL database 5.6 or greater version):
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE col_name REGEXP '^X+$';
If you don't want/have regexp then:
WITH
tbl AS
( Select 'XXY' "COL" From dual Union All
Select 'YXX' "COL" From dual Union All
Select 'XXX' "COL" From dual Union All
Select null "COL" From dual
)
Select COL
From tbl
Where Length(Nvl(COL, 'Z')) - Length( Replace( Upper(Nvl(COL, 'Z')), 'X', '')) Is Null
COL
---
XXX
This covers both small 'x' and capital 'X' if needed and returns original COL value
For example:
One table has account name such as Apple, Google, Facebook.
Other table has account name as 2-apple,3-google,4-facebook.
I need to combine those 2 tables based on account name but want the query to ignore the first 2 string values from the other table = bolded values(2-apple, 3-google, 4-facebook).
In Oracle (as you tagged it), you'd use SUBSTR function:
select whatever
from t1 join t2 on t1.name = substr(t2.name, 3)
as it returns what you wanted, e.g.
SQL> select substr('2-apple', 3) result from dual;
RESUL
-----
apple
SQL>
Keeping in mind lowercase to avoid problems with the comparison
with x as (
select 'Google' as mark from dual union all
select 'Facebook' as mark from dual
),
y as (
select '2-apple' as other from dual union all
select '3-google' as other from dual union all
select '4-facebook' as other from dual
)
select x.mark, y.other
from x inner join y
on ( lower(x.mark) = lower(substr(y.other,3)) );
Result
SQL> with x as (
select 'Google' as mark from dual union all
select 'Facebook' as mark from dual
),
y as (
select '2-apple' as other from dual union all
select '3-google' as other from dual union all
select '4-facebook' as other from dual
)
select x.mark, y.other
from x inner join y
on ( lower(x.mark) = lower(substr(y.other,3)) );

In the Oracle database, I have string values (VARCHAR2) like 1,4,7,8. The number represents as 1=car, 2= bus, 3=BB, 4=SB, 5=Ba, 6=PA, 7=HB, and 8 =G
and want to convert the above-said example to "car,SB,HB,G" in my query results
I tried to use "Decode" but it does not work. Please advise how to make it works. Would appreciate.
Thanks`
Initially, I have used the following query:
Select Clientid as C#, vehicletypeExclusions as vehicle from
clients
The sample of outcomes are:
C# Vehicle
20 1,19,20,23,24,7,5
22 1,19,20,23,24,7,5
I also tried the following that gives me the null value of vehicles:
Select Clientid as C#, Decode (VEHICLETYPEEXCLUSIONS, '1', 'car',
'3','bus', '5','ba' ,'7','HB', '8','G'
, '9','LED1102', '10','LED1104', '13','LED8-2',
'14','Flip4-12', '17','StAT1003', '19','Taxi-Min', '20','Tax_Sed',
'21','Sup-veh' , '22','T-DATS', '23','T-Mini',
'24','T-WAM') as vehicle_Ex from clients >

Using the function f_subst from https://stackoverflow.com/a/68537479/429100 :
create or replace
function f_subst(str varchar2, template varchar2, subst sys.odcivarchar2list) return varchar2
as
res varchar2(32767):=str;
begin
for i in 1..subst.count loop
res:=replace(res, replace(template,'%d',i), subst(i));
end loop;
return res;
end;
/
I've replaced ora_name_list_t (nested table) with sys.odcivarchar2list (varray) to make this example easier, but I would suggest to create your own collection for example create type varchar2_table as table of varchar2(4000);
Example:
select
f_subst(
'1,4,7,8'
,'%d'
,sys.odcivarchar2list('car','bus','BB','SB','Ba','PA','HB','G')
) s
from dual;
S
----------------------------------------
car,SB,HB,G
Assume you have a lookup table (associating the numeric codes with descriptions) and a table of input strings, which I called sample_inputs in my tests, as shown below:
create table lookup (code, descr) as
select 1, 'car' from dual union all
select 2, 'bus' from dual union all
select 3, 'BB' from dual union all
select 4, 'SB' from dual union all
select 5, 'Ba' from dual union all
select 6, 'PA' from dual union all
select 7, 'HB' from dual union all
select 8, 'G' from dual
;
create table sample_inputs (str) as
select '1,4,7,8' from dual union all
select null from dual union all
select '3' from dual union all
select '5,5,5' from dual union all
select '6,2,8' from dual
;
One strategy for solving your problem is to split the input - slightly modified to make it a JSON array, so that we can use json_table to split it - then join to the lookup table and re-aggregate.
select s.str, l.descr_list
from sample_inputs s cross join lateral
( select listagg(descr, ',') within group (order by ord) as descr_list
from json_table( '[' || str || ']', '$[*]'
columns code number path '$', ord for ordinality)
join lookup l using (code)
) l
;
STR DESCR_LIST

1,4,7,8 car,SB,HB,G
3 BB
5,5,5 Ba,Ba,Ba
6,2,8 PA,bus,G
I have 2 lists which I need to compare. I need to find if at least one element from List A is found in List B. I know IN doesn't work with 2 lists. What are my other options?
Basically something like this :
SELECT
CASE WHEN ('A','B','C') IN ('A','Z','H') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END "FOUND"
FROM DUAL
Would appreciate any help!
You are probably looking for something like this. The WITH clause is there just to simulate your "lists" (whatever you mean by that); they are not really part of the solution. The query you need is just the last three lines (plus the semicolon at the end).
with
first_list (str) as (
select 'A' from dual union all
select 'B' from dual union all
select 'C' from dual
),
second_list(str) as (
select 'A' from dual union all
select 'Z' from dual union all
select 'H' from dual
)
select case when exists (select * from first_list f join second_list s
on f.str = s.str) then 1 else 0 end as found
from dual
;
FOUND
----------
1
In Oracle you can do:
select
count(*) as total_matches
from table(sys.ODCIVarchar2List('A', 'B', 'C')) x,
table(sys.ODCIVarchar2List('A', 'Z', 'H')) y
where x.column_value = y.column_value;
You need to repeat the conditions:
SELECT (CASE WHEN 'A' IN ('A', 'Z', 'H') OR
'B' IN ('A', 'Z', 'H') OR
'C' IN ('A', 'Z', 'H')
THEN 1 ELSE 0
END) as "FOUND"
FROM DUAL
If you are working with collection of String you can try Multiset Operators.
create type coll_of_varchar2 is table of varchar2(4000);
and:
-- check if exits
select * from dual where cardinality (coll_of_varchar2('A','B','C') multiset intersect coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H')) > 0;
-- list of maching elments
select * from table(coll_of_varchar2('A','B','C') multiset intersect coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H'));
Additionally:
-- union of elemtns
select * from table(coll_of_varchar2('A','B','C') multiset union distinct coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H'));
select * from table(coll_of_varchar2('A','B','C') multiset union all coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H'));
-- eelemnt from col1 not in col2
select * from table(coll_of_varchar2('A','A','B','C') multiset except all coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H'));
select * from table(coll_of_varchar2('A','A','B','C') multiset except distinct coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H'));
-- check if col1 is subset col2
select * from dual where coll_of_varchar2('B','A') submultiset coll_of_varchar2('A','Z','H','B');
I am trying to do something very similar but the first list is another field on the same query created with listagg and containing integer numbers like:
LISTAGG(my_first_list,', ') WITHIN GROUP(
ORDER BY
my_id
) my_first_list
and return this with all the other fields that I am already returning
SELECT
CASE WHEN my_first_list IN ('1,2,3') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END "FOUND"
FROM DUAL
I have data like this in a table
NAME PRICE
A 2
B 3
C 5
D 9
E 5
I want to display all the values in one row; for instance:
A,2|B,3|C,5|D,9|E,5|
How would I go about making a query that will give me a string like this in Oracle? I don't need it to be programmed into something; I just want a way to get that line to appear in the results so I can copy it over and paste it in a word document.
My Oracle version is 10.2.0.5.
-- Oracle 10g --
SELECT deptno, WM_CONCAT(ename) AS employees
FROM scott.emp
GROUP BY deptno;
Output:
10 CLARK,MILLER,KING
20 SMITH,FORD,ADAMS,SCOTT,JONES
30 ALLEN,JAMES,TURNER,BLAKE,MARTIN,WARD
I know this is a little late but try this:
SELECT LISTAGG(CONCAT(CONCAT(NAME,','),PRICE),'|') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY NAME) AS CONCATDATA
FROM your_table
Usually when I need something like that quickly and I want to stay on SQL without using PL/SQL, I use something similar to the hack below:
select sys_connect_by_path(col, ', ') as concat
from
(
select 'E' as col, 1 as seq from dual
union
select 'F', 2 from dual
union
select 'G', 3 from dual
)
where seq = 3
start with seq = 1
connect by prior seq+1 = seq
It's a hierarchical query which uses the "sys_connect_by_path" special function, which is designed to get the "path" from a parent to a child.
What we are doing is simulating that the record with seq=1 is the parent of the record with seq=2 and so fourth, and then getting the full path of the last child (in this case, record with seq = 3), which will effectively be a concatenation of all the "col" columns
Adapted to your case:
select sys_connect_by_path(to_clob(col), '|') as concat
from
(
select name || ',' || price as col, rownum as seq, max(rownum) over (partition by 1) as max_seq
from
(
/* Simulating your table */
select 'A' as name, 2 as price from dual
union
select 'B' as name, 3 as price from dual
union
select 'C' as name, 5 as price from dual
union
select 'D' as name, 9 as price from dual
union
select 'E' as name, 5 as price from dual
)
)
where seq = max_seq
start with seq = 1
connect by prior seq+1 = seq
Result is: |A,2|B,3|C,5|D,9|E,5
As you're in Oracle 10g you can't use the excellent listagg(). However, there are numerous other string aggregation techniques.
There's no particular need for all the complicated stuff. Assuming the following table
create table a ( NAME varchar2(1), PRICE number);
insert all
into a values ('A', 2)
into a values ('B', 3)
into a values ('C', 5)
into a values ('D', 9)
into a values ('E', 5)
select * from dual
The unsupported function wm_concat should be sufficient:
select replace(replace(wm_concat (name || '#' || price), ',', '|'), '#', ',')
from a;
REPLACE(REPLACE(WM_CONCAT(NAME||'#'||PRICE),',','|'),'#',',')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A,2|B,3|C,5|D,9|E,5
But, you could also alter Tom Kyte's stragg, also in the above link, to do it without the replace functions.
Here is another approach, using model clause:
-- sample of data from your question
with t1(NAME1, PRICE) as(
select 'A', 2 from dual union all
select 'B', 3 from dual union all
select 'C', 5 from dual union all
select 'D', 9 from dual union all
select 'E', 5 from dual
) -- the query
select Res
from (select name1
, price
, rn
, res
from t1
model
dimension by (row_number() over(order by name1) rn)
measures (name1, price, cast(null as varchar2(101)) as res)
(res[rn] order by rn desc = name1[cv()] || ',' || price[cv()] || '|' || res[cv() + 1])
)
where rn = 1
Result:
RES
----------------------
A,2|B,3|C,5|D,9|E,5|
