• Another REGEXP question: how to extract multiple values from a string

  Hi, how can I retrieve multiple values to a string with RegExp with Oracle SQL constructs?
  
  Have looked at the various examples, I cannot understand this.
  the following Sql code

  select
     regexp_substr(sessie."rollen", 'CN=A_role') "A_role"
     from ( 
  select '
  CN=A_role,OU=a_org_unit,OU=another_org_unit,DC=bz,DC=ad,DC=min,DC=local
  CN=Another_role,OU=some_org_unit,DC=bz,DC=ad,DC=min,DC=local
  CN=Users,OU=Dep,DC=bz,DC=ad,DC=min,DC=local
  '   "rollen" from dual
  ) sessie;

  Returns CN = A_role.
  I want him back all of the CN = concatenated values with a semicolon and stripped of the CN = bit.
  So: A_role; Another_role; Users .
  
  Any help would be much appreciated. Here I use database 11g 11.2.0.2.0.
  
  Does anyone have an idea how to do this in SQL?
  
  best regards Mike

  Yes it will fail because error explains everything... excerpt from value does not return several values for a simple xpath...

  so in this case you must use the function xmltable...

   SELECT column_value
     FROM some_things v,
    xmltable('for $i in /NewDataSet/DerivativeSecurity return $i/@FAS157Level' passing value(v))
  

  edit your table name in the code above... and confirm

• Return multiple values from a table

  Hi there I'm working on a bit of sql that returns values when they exist in a table.
  The code I have returns the correct value when there is an entry in the tbl_studentmodules table, as soon as there is more than one entry in this table it does display no line at all: (.)
  
  Can someone tell how to return multiple values?
  
  

               select modulename from tbl_modulefeedback
  where 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_studentmodules
         where upper(:APP_USER) = upper(student_id))
  and 1 = (select count(*) from tbl_modulefeedback, tbl_studentmodules
        where tbl_modulefeedback.modulecode = tbl_studentmodules.modulecode)

  Thanks in advance!
  
  Ashleigh

  Try this:

  select modulename
  from tbl_modulefeedback
  where 1 <= (select count(*) from tbl_studentmodules
         where upper(:APP_USER) = upper(student_id))
  and 1 <= (select count(*) from tbl_modulefeedback, tbl_studentmodules
        where tbl_modulefeedback.modulecode = tbl_studentmodules.modulecode)
  

  When you ask questions, please enter CREATE TABLE and INSERT some commands to make it easier to help you.

• Return multiple values from a function in a SELECT statement

  I hope I've provided enough information here. If not, let me know what I'm missing.
  
  I create a view that will combine the information from several tables. Most are pretty simple, but there are a couple of columns in the view that I need to get by running a function within a package. Even if this is quite simple (I have a function named action_date in a package called rp, for example, that I can use to return the date that I need through SOME rp.action_date (sequence_number).
  
  Here is the question: I really need to return several bits of information of the same record (not only action_date, but also action_office, action_value, etc.)-a join of the tables will work not here, as I will explain below. I can, of course, perform a function separate for each statement, but this is obviously inefficient. Within the select statement of the view, however, I don't know how each of the values that I need to get back.
  
  For example, right now, I have:
  
  Table 1:
  sequence_number NUMBER (10),
  name varchar (30),
  ...
  
  Table2:
  Table1_seq NUMBER (10),
  action_seq NUMBER (10),
  action_date DATE,
  action_office VARCHAR (3),
  action_value VARCHAR (60),
  ...
  
  I can't just simply join Table1 and Table2 because I have to perform processing in order to determine the rows returned matching, I really need to select. If the package opens a cursor and treats each line until it finds the one I need.
  
  The following works but is ineffective since all calls to the package returns the columns of the same record. I don't know how to put all the values that I need in the SELECT statement.
  CREATE VIEW all_this_stuff AS
  SELECT sequence_number, name,
  RP.action_date (sequence_number) action_date,
  RP.action_office (sequence_number) action_office,
  RP.action_value (sequence_number) action_value
  FROM table1
  
  Is there a way to return multiple values in my SELECT statement or I'm going about this all wrong?
  
  Any suggestions?
  
  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  What you want is a Query of Top - N , what you can do using the ROW_NUMBER analytic function in a subquery, like this:

  WITH     got_rnum     AS
  (
       SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
       ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY  action_date
                                 ,            action_seq
                           ,            action_serial
                         ) AS rnum
       FROM     table2
       WHERE     action_code     = 'AB'
       AND     action_office     LIKE 'E'     -- Is this right?
  )
  SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
  FROM     got_rnum
  WHERE     rnum     = 1
  ;
  

  As written, this returns a single line (at most).
  I suspect you'll actually get a rank for each group , where a group is defined by a value in a table in which you join.
  In this case, add a PARTITION BY clause to the ROW_NUMBER function.
  If post you a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), I could show you exactly how.
  As I don't have your tables, I'll show you the use of the tables in the scott schema.
  This is a view containing data in the scott.dept table and also to scott.emp, but only for the highest employee in each Department (in other words, the employee whose oldest hire date). If there be a tie for the first hire date, while the candidate with the lowest empno is selected.

  CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW     senior_emp
  AS
  WITH     got_rnum     AS
  (
       SELECT     d.deptno
       ,     d.dname
       ,     e.empno
       ,     e.ename
       ,     e.hiredate
       ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  d.deptno
                                 ORDER BY          e.hiredate
                           ,                e.empno
                         ) AS rnum
       FROM     scott.dept     d
       JOIN     scott.emp     e     ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
  )
  SELECT     deptno
  ,     dname
  ,     empno
  ,     ename
  ,     hiredate
  FROM     got_rnum
  WHERE     rnum     = 1
  ;
  
  SELECT     *
  FROM     senior_emp
  ;
  

  Output:

  .    DEPTNO DNAME               EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE
  ---------- -------------- ---------- ---------- ---------
          10 ACCOUNTING           7782 CLARK      09-JUN-81
          20 RESEARCH             7369 SMITH      17-DEC-80
          30 SALES                7499 ALLEN      20-FEB-81
  

  Moreover, one of the conditions to the query you posted has been

  action_office     LIKE 'E'
  

  which equals

  action_office     = 'E'
  

  (AS is always equivalent to = if the string that follows AS does not contain the winning cards.)
  Did you mean say that or did you mean something like this:

  action_office     LIKE 'E%'
  

  Instead?

• How to extract a value of sql xml column clob data

  Hi guys,.

  I need help with the following. I have a column with data type xml (clob data). I need to extract the information in the < RI4 > tag and the < RI6 > tag.
  I truncated the data, but there is a repetition of the < RI4 > tag and consequenty internal to that tag RI6. However, each tag RI4 and RI6 has different data.

  I would be grateful if you can help me with this:

  <a xsi:schemaLocation="som location.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:somlocation">

    </RI6>
    </RI5>
    </RequiredInformation3>
    </RequiredInformation2>
    </RequiredInformation>
    </a>
  

  I think that since it's the repetition I might need to make some sort of PL/SQL programming, but I really need help here to build this announcement also a way to extract the information.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hi Peter,.

  What is your version of db?

  EXTRACT and related functions are all deprecated from 11.2.

  Use XMLTABLE or XMLQUERY.

  About the error:

  You have the XPath to the right, but missing the mapping prefix of "fu":

  (l_xml). Extract

  ' / soapenv:Envelope / soapenv:Body / fu:BusinessPremiseResponse / fu:Error / fu:ErrorCode / text () '

  "', ' xmlns:soapenv ="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

  xmlns:Fu ="http://www.fu.gov.si/" "."

  )

  Example with XMLTABLE:

  I want to output associated to < type info = "dynamic_sampling" > 2 < / info >:
  
  dynamic_sampling of name of column
  value of line 2
  
  reflection by using dynamic_sampling value as a predicate would be great if:

  dynamic_sampling = 2
  
  How to transform the other_xml column to get such results?

  XMLTABLE is a better way to do it as EXTRACTVALUE is obsolete but:

  select p.sql_id,  extractvalue(h.column_value,'/info') lvl
  from   v$sql_plan p
  ,      table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype(p.other_xml),'/other_xml/info'))) h
  where  p.other_xml is not null
  and    extractvalue(h.column_value,'/info/@type') = 'dynamic_sampling';
  

  11.1 I think the tag can say 'yes' rather than giving level.
  If there is no dynamic sampling, there should be no tag dynamic sampling.

• Extraction of data from a XML and inserting into a table

  Hi all

  I have a problem for which I couldn't find any convincing solution

  I have an XML format

  <data>
  <students>
  <student>
  <studentname>Raymond<studentname>
  <StudentId>1</StudentId>
  <StudentAge>11</StudentAge>
  <StudentMark>0</StudentMark>
  </student>
  </students>
  
  
  

  Now I have to insert this XML DB, the table consists of the following columns

  (line number, property name, value)

  Wait it out put is

  (1, studentname, Raymond).

  (1, studentid, 1)

  (1, studentAge, 11)

  (1, Studentmark, 0)

  The challenge here

  1. how to get the tag names and fill in the property name column?

  2. the number of properties for a student can be variable, how can I deal with them?

  I am very new to PLSQL XML manipulation. Can someone give me some advice I can start with the creation of a solution?  I hope, I've been able to describe my use case. If this isn't the case, please let me know.

  Thanks in advance,

• Get unique values from an xml table

  I have an xml file and I would like to create a table of all the unique values of one of its nodes.

  The xml file is called pntxml and the node is pntxml.row.Category where the category is where I would like to create a table of all the unique values.

  I was working through this and would first create an array of all the values in the category in iterating through the xml and pushing these values in a separate table.  When I try to push each entry in a table I get an error or

  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  at NAPA_fla::MainTimeline/sortXml()

  var catArray:Array;
  
  function sortXml(event:Event):void{
  for (var i:int = 0; i< pntxml.row.length(); i++){
       tmpCat=pntxml.row[i].Category;
       trace(tmpCat);
          catArray.push(tmpCat);           
  }
  }
  

  Anyone has a suggestion for the best way to get at this problem?

  Thanks in advance,

  Josh

  Your catArray does not exist because you said only she, you have not created an instance of this...

  var catArray:Array = new Array();

• getting a value from an XML string

  If I want a loader to load a text file based on XML how I'd get the XML to return a string.
  
  
  The first lines of code are my xml file.
  The following code excerpt is my charger of xml.
  The last code snippet is where I want my text file to load.
  In my line of code which is: myLoadVar.load (t.content); How can I get the value of t.content I got an xml file for a file name? I think I should do my xml file returns a string.

  You must add a line of code. I need to see the where it is located, in the lines below.

• want to extract two values from rows in a single sql result

  Let me first of all explain the situation
  
  I have two tables
  1 Animal_details(animal_id,and other details)
  2 Animal_weight(animal_id,seq_no,weight,date_weighed)
  
  in fact situation here is that for each weight I am inserting a new line with seq_no say
  1 for the first weight
  2 for the second weight...
  with their weight and date
  for example. animal_id = 1 seq_no = 1, weight = 200, date_weighed = 12-may-2000;
  animal_id = 1, seq_no = 2, weight = 250, date_weighed = June 12, 2000;
  
  means seq_no = 1 represents 1 weight of animals
  seq_no = 2 represents 2 weight of animals
  
  how an animal can have any number. weighted times.
  
  now what I want, I want to show a result with
  
  animal_id, weight_1, weight_2 with other animals details in a single line
  
  How can I get first weight and the second or more weight in the same line for any animal?
  
  Please answer soon, its urgency.
  
  Thank you

  You cannot issue a SQL with dynamic column list of 100%. What you can do is something like the questions:

  with t as (
             select  animal_id,
                     max(case seq_no = 1 then weight end) first_weight,
                     max(case seq_no = 2 then weight end) second_weight,
                     max(case seq_no = 3 then weight end) third_weight
               from  animal _weight
               where seq_no <= 3
               group by animal_id
            )
  select  t1.animal_id,
          first_weight,
          second_weight,
          third_weight,
          other_details
    from  t t1,
          animal_details t2
    where t2.animal_id = t1.animal_id

  You must declare the namespace of each element used in the XPath expression, like this:

    4  from chipsxmltable1 x
    5  ;
  
  XMLDATA
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  No
