Bunch of Oracle on the special characters in a string - translate?

How to remove special characters in a string, it can contain. , (space), etc.

SELECT TRANSLATE('123.456 (90-90)', '', '') FROM DUAL

Basically I want to undress and to compare with the db value.

WHERE TRANSLATE(TABLE.NUMCODE, '', '')  = TRANSLATE('123.456 (90-90)', '', '')

Use TRANSLATE, since you're on 9i. For example:

TRANSLATE (your_string,'X,. #! % @$ ^ & * () _-+=', 'X')

Removes all the s characters in ', #! % @$ ^ & * () _-+=' of your_string.

    The equations are a problem. If the equation is text, you can be lucky if you have the fonts on your system. Most of the time I have try, the fonts in the equation are garbage. Expect to have to retype the equations and some special characters. Much also depends on the existence of the fonts on your system. Just in my experience, the equations are almost impossible to convert.

    create table
    create table sample_test (
  Name    VARCHAR2(20 BYTE))

    -- Test Data
with sample_test as
(
select 'O''NEIL' name from dual union all
select 'B.E.VICTOR'  name from dual union all
select'WILLIAM,L' name from dual union all
select'MARY-ANNE' name from dual union all
select'VON_ANCKEN' name from dual union all
select'BROWN;L' name from dual
)
-- Query:
select name old_name,
       translate(replace(name,'''',''),'.,-_;','     ') new_name
from sample_test;

    Explanation:

    REPLACE deletes the quote
    TRANSLATE replaces point, comma, dash, semicolon and underscore

  • How to find special characters in a string of give/sentance

    Hi all

    I have a task to complete with the time to give. Because I'm not very good in PL/SQL, I need you're help.
    Condition is:

    I must come with the SQL or PL/SQL code which should return and find the hidden or special character in the name of the data files in a database. There are nearly 400 + database are present in almost any flavor of UNIX, and I need to check the database each.

    As you know, the name of the data file will be like this:
     /u02/instance_name\oradata\datafile_01.dbf
    So, it should avoid these things and only discover the special characters in the name of the data file.
     
a-z , A-Z , 0-9 and \
    Please keep in mind that... I'll be pulled the script Oracle the Oracle 9i client that will access all the databases of Oracle 9i to 11g in a short and give me the result.

    Please help me to solve this problem and let me know if you need more information.

    Hello

    Hi Frank,.

    It is an excellent service. Thanks for you response.
    I want to change the query that... I should get only the name of these data files that are special characters of detention. I don't know how to put it in that condition. :(

    Here's one way:

    SELECT  file_name
,       ...     -- other expressions, if you want any
FROM    dba_data_files
WHERE   TRANSLATE ( file_name
                  , '?0123456789.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\_/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
                  , '?'
                  ) IS NOT NULL

    Among other expressions, you can put in the SELECT clause (if you wish) is a copy of the TRANSLATE function, you had in your message. That would underline exactly what characters rendering invalid file name.

  • Laptop keyboard just type the special characters (those of accented)

    My Windows 7 laptop keyboard will only be the type of special characters (for example, accented letters) and no regular letters or symbols. Help please? Laptop is currently unusable because I'm unable to type. Have tried to use as well the built-in keyboard and a wireless and issues is both.

  • Read the special characters from the txt file

    Hi guys,.

    on blackberry 9000, I tried to read some special characters like this: ° ²® µ±³ ° ¯´µ±´¯® text file

    using this function:

    FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open ("file:///SDCard/test.txt", Connector.READ_WRITE);
    InputStream is = fc.openInputStream ();
    InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader (is, "UTF - 8");
    LineReader lineReader = new LineReader (is);
    line & = new String (lineReader.readLine ());

    what I get is different, I can't write it here, it is difficult to find these characters.

    I change the content of the file to:

    ddfdsfdsfdsfdsfdsf
    aaaaabbbc ° ² ° ¯´µ±´¯® µ±³®

    now I get:

    ddfdsfdsfdsfdsfdsf
    aaaaabbbc, then the same characters

    How to display the same as what I have in the text file?

    Thank you

    To add to what martijnbrinkers said, you need not to the InputStreamReader because you don't use it (and this is why your code has no idea that the file is in UTF-8 encoding).

  • Randomly generate the special characters

    I want to generate random password which should include at least one special character that could be any special character except @. dbms_random.

    Welcome to the forum!

    You can do something like this:

    SELECT     SUBSTR ( '!#$%^*:;,.'               -- list all special characters here
               , dbms_random.value (1, 11)     -- 11 = 1 + number of special characters

    Let's say that someone copies the list as follows and the glue in a Javascript dialog box:

    It's the cleanest method that you are looking for:

  • empty data file with special characters in the name

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with an empty data file which is in recovery mode.

    Before the following has been a success:
    ALTER database create datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' as 'fully_qualified_file_name ';
    recover data file "fully_qualified_file_name";
    ALTER database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;

    But this time it does not work as I get an error:
    ORA-01516: file nonexistent journal, data file, or temporary file
    Using the file id does not work either.

    When I created a record of control file I see the data file has special characters in the name:
    ' / oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^? ^?'

    Since it is empty, it would be possible to create the data file void anothr
    using the:
    ALTER database create datafile ' / oracle/PRD/112_64/dbs/PSPR3I ^? ^?'
    as ' / oracle/PRD/spdata2/r3i_8/r3i.data8';

    and then recover datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name ';
    ALTER database datafile 'fully_qualified_file_name' online;

    How orders oracle faced with special characters?

    It should work using a file as the definition of source file number and a new name for the new file. Works for me:

    orcl> alter database create datafile 7 as 'c:\tmp\newname.dbf';
