Contains vs Instr vs as

Hello

Just to understand the function CONTAINS oracle, I created the table below:

create table empmst
( eid number,
ename varchar2(50),
constraint pk_empmst primary key (eid)
)

insert into empmst values (1,'RAVINDRA');

insert into empmst values (2,'JHON')

insert into empmst values (3,'PETER')

insert into empmst values (4,'JHON PETER')

insert into empmst values (5,'JAMES')

insert into empmst values (6,'JHONY')

If I run

select * from empmst where CONTAINS(ename, 'JAMES', 1) > 0;

Get the error

ORA-20000: Oracle text error:

DRG-10599: the column is not indexed

so I created index

CREATE INDEX IDX_ENAME ON EMPMST(ENAME) LOGGING NOPARALLEL;

Then also get the same error.

and what is the difference between the statements below:

select * from empmst where ename like 'JAMES';

select * from empmst where instr(ename ,'JAMES',1)>0;

select * from empmst where CONTAINS(ename, 'JAMES', 1) > 0;

CONTAINS is not a classic SQL function. It is part of the text of the Oracle. And his search for the index is not ordinary index, its oracle text index.

  • HELP: instr() error - invalid identifier

    Hello

    Query is attack on this line:

    instr(hntl.note_text, "Critical and/or Actionable") != 0

    Error:

    ORA-00904: "criticism and/or action": invalid identifier

    00904, 00000 - '% s: invalid identifier '.

    note_text column is of type varchar (2000)

    How can I make this work?

    Hello

    In Oracle SQL, string literals are enclosed in single quotes, not double - quote.  You probably want to

    ... instr (hntl.note_text, "Criticism and/or Actionable")! = 0

    Note that SQL differs from SQL * more in this regard.  In SQL * Plus, - single and double quotes are often used interchangeably.  In SQL, they always have a different meaning.

    In Oracle SQL, quotation marks are used in identifiers (such as table names or column) which are not conform to the normal rules of naming.  For example, the column names cannot usually contain special characters such as spaces or slashes (' / ').  If you really want to have a column that is named

    Criticism or action

    you will then need to with the spaces and the bar slash, surround it with quotation marks.  That's exactly what the system thought you were doing: he thought you were trying to refer to a column called 'Critical and/or usable' and, when he couldn't find a column with this name, it gave you an error indicating that the column name was not fair.

    Solomon Yakobson says:
    If you explain what your code is trying to accomplish, someone might offer an alternative solution.

    The column GEN_VALUE in table A is a CLOB containing the list separated by commas. Your code divides this list separated by commas into indivitual elements. If none of the elements of comma-separated string exceeds 4000 bytes, what you need is to change GEN_VALUE variable PL/SQL CLOB type and then cast individual items to VARCHAR2:

    declare
gen_value  CLOB;
id number(9);
type bulk_collect is table of varchar2(500) index by PLS_INTEGER;

    Hello

    LONG is an old format with a lot of limitations that will make your life miserable. If you need to copy your table to another, take this opportunity to convert long on the CLOB type using the to_lob() function.

     create table t1(id long);

 create table t2 (id clob);

 insert into t2 (id) select to_lob(id) from t1;

    You concatenate 4 columns. then

    
instr(Debt_Review||Judgement||Liquidation||under_admin,'Y')

    You check if the letter there exist in the concatenated string. INSTR returns the position of the character of research. So if the position is greater than 0 that means that the search string exists.

    So eventually, if it exists, you define Y n else.

    Thanks for posting this (and the WITH clause for sample data). It is very useful.

    I have a few responses from students and the valid values are + / / (alphabet) o/p and spaces at the end of the scam only not in the middle.

    You combine several qeustions responses in a single VARCHAR2 column? It would be better to have a separate line for each question.

    According to my condition, the registration number 2 3.4 must be in the request but I'm alone (chart 3).

    What exactly are your needs? You try to find the rows where the student_response contains one of the forbidden characters, or if it contains a space anywhere, but at the end of the string?

    Can we use REG_EXP

    Yes, but it's pretty easy and probably more effective, do not use regular expressions in this case:
    Here's one way:

    SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     TRANSLATE ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
            , 'X+-OP'
            , 'X'
            )     IS NOT NULL
;

    In other words, once you remove the spaces and all occurrences of '+', '-', 'o' or 'P', then the forbidden characters are left, and you want to select the line, if there is one of these.

    If you really, really want to use a regular expression:

    SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( RTRIM (student_response)
              , '[^-+OP]'          -- or '[^+OP-]', but not '[^+-OP]'.  Discuss amongst yourselves
              , 'i'
              )
;

    but, again, it will be probably slower than the first solution, using TRANSLATE.

    What follows is a bit simpler that TRANSLATE:

    SELECT     record_number
,     student_response
FROM     x
WHERE     RTRIM ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
           , '+-OP'
           )          IS NOT NULL
;

    How would you do the same thing with INSTR or SIMILAR?

    select * from dual where instr('Test','st') > 0;

  • Problem with Textfield autocomplete--&gt; only use the INSTR function

    Hello team dev,

    I use the new "textfield autocomplete" item type APEX and you have a crazy problem with it.

    I have a table with an index on the same column I want to search with AutoComplete field.

    Index:
    CREATE BITMAP INDEX TEST.GEO_DATA_IDX1 ON TEST.GEO_DATA (postcode)
NOLOGGING TABLESPACE TS_INDEX;
    Select which is automatically generated by APEX 4:
    SELECT   a.*
  FROM   (  SELECT   DISTINCT postcode AS RV
              FROM   TEST.GEO_DATA
             WHERE   country_id = :P1_COUNTRY
          ORDER BY   1) a
 WHERE   INSTR ("RV", :p$_search_string) > 0 AND ROWNUM <= :p$_max_rows;

    Best regards

    Hi Tobias,.

    I guess that you are currently using "contains and case sensitivity ' to the attribute of"search ". Have you ever tried out "Exact and case sensitivity? Because that internally uses the LIKE operator as does your original query and the % is at the end, she must allow the use of an index. But it might still work, because ORDER BY can be run at a different time in your original example, but it's worth a try.

    Concerning

  • Use Substr and InStr

    I have created table:

    create table wekaRules_productmgr)
    The rule ID number,
    WekaRule varchar2 (500),
    VARCHAR2 (250) antecedent.
    VARCHAR2 (250) resulting.
    );

    The table contains the following data with insert statements:

    INSERT INTO wekaRules_productmgr (ID rule, WekaRule)
    VALUES (1, ' PM_PRICE_REDUCTION_TYPE = None 9828 == > PM_COUPON_TYPE = None 9828 conf: (1) lift: (1.06) conv: (576.86)') lev: (0.05) [576];

    INSERT INTO wekaRules_productmgr (ID rule, WekaRule)
    VALUES (2, ' PM_AD_TYPE = None 9684 == > PM_PRICE_REDUCTION_TYPE = None 9684 conf: (1) lift: (1.12) conv: (1063.13)') lev: (0.1) [1063];

    INSERT INTO wekaRules_productmgr (ID rule, WekaRule)
    VALUES (3, ' PM_AD_TYPE = None 9684 == > PM_COUPON_TYPE = None 9684 conf: (1) lift: (1.06) conv: (568.41)') lev: (0.05) [568];

    The values for the last two columns in the wekaRules_productmgr table is contained in the string values for each statement. For example, in the # 1 folder, the values are (from left to right):
    history = PM_PRICE_REDUCTION_TYPE = None
    result = PM_COUPON_TYPE = None


    I need to find a way to analyze the values in each record and update in the appropriate table columns. So to case # 1, I need to update columns with the values given above, such as the records would look like:

    Rule ID History Resulting          
    1 PM_PRICE_REDUCTION_TYPE = None PM_COUPON_TYPE = None
    2 PM_AD_TYPE = None PM_PRICE_REDUCTION_TYPE = None
    3 PM_AD_TYPE = None PM_COUPON_TYPE = None

    I have tried this solution, but cannot very well:

    UPDATE wekaRules_productmgr SET history =
    (SELECT SUBSTR (wekarule, 1, (INSTR(wekarule,' ',1,1)-1)) 'history')
    OF wekaRules_productmgr);

    I also have a similar one for the suite. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    I saw there is anonther detachment of you the same theme. If this can help you:

     SELECT
       regexp_substr(wekarule,'[a-zA-Z_]+ *= *[a-zA-Z_]+',1,1) antecedent,
       regexp_substr(wekarule,'[a-zA-Z_]+ *= *[a-zA-Z_]+',1,2) consequent,
       LTRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(wekarule, 'conf:\([^\)]+'), 'conf:(') conf,
       LTRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(wekarule, 'lift:\([^\)]+'), 'lift:(') lift,
       LTRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(wekarule, 'lev:\([^\)]+'), 'lev:(') lev,
       LTRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(wekarule, 'conv:\([^\)]+'), 'conv:(') conv
FROM   wekaRules_productmgr;

  • Use instr to search for multiple values

    Hello

    My version of Oracle DB is 10.2.0

    I have a file of text separated by delimiters. The text file has 14 columns, and in each column, I have to check the presence of the following
    RV, RV, RV, GV, GV, GV.

    The sample file contains the following

    51151111; 28.18.11; 14711119; 512-GV; 821949,39; 1223,21; 471,49; 821197,29; ABC; 1; 27.18.11; 13


    The following code is for the search for GV
     FUNCTION FUNC_FIND_GV   (p_str IN  VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER
   AS
         l_gv_pos NUMBER ;
         begin
         l_gv_pos := INSTR(p_str, 'GV') ;
         RETURN l_gv_pos ;

   EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
       l_gv_pos := 0;
    RETURN l_gv_pos 
   END FUNC_FIND_GV ;
    How can I search for other cases?

    Hello

    You can use regular expresssions to find one a |-at the same time delimited list.
    For example:

    SELECT  REGEXP_INSTR ( p_str
               , '(RV|RV-|RV/|GV|GV-|GV/)'
               )          AS match_pos
FROM     ...
;

    It is unnecessary to search for one of the 'RV', 'RV' - and ' RV /'; hot for just 'RV' will give the same results. However, it does no harm real, so if you build the list ' RV | RV | RV / | GV | GV | GV /' dynamically, so you don't have to check for duplicates.

    I hope that answers your question.
    If this isn't the case, post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some examples of data and the results desired from these data.

  • Discoverer INSTR function does not have a hyphen in the ID Oppty

    I need to identify the IDS that have a number that produces a hyphen. INSTR (opportunity ID,'-', 1, 1) calculation identifies the location of the hyphen for most of ID. However, it does not recognize the hyphen in some. Identifiers that have hyphens that are not recognized, I know that the hyphen is counted as a character because Discover include the hyphen when I use a calculation of LENGTH on the field service ID.

    Example:
    INSTR (field ID,'-', 1, 1) calculation for ID 3 - XXXXX1 = 2; but for ID 3 - XXXXX2 = 0.
    Calculations of LENGTH (ID field) for the two ID = 8.

    Anyone who has ever encountered this problem and found a resolution?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you!

    Hello

    I suspect that the character is not hyphenated, but hyphenated "windows". If the text was cut and paste from a windows like word or excel application, then it will probably contain the hyphen of windows which is a different character.

    You can use the lengthB function to check if there are 2-byte characters or use the dump function to watch the ascii characters in the field.
