Special characters in sql

Hello

I had a question about the escaping special characters in Oracle. Let's say I have a table column that contains data like '% _Tester % '. I ideally if we do a select on this table, it would be something like

Select * from table where column like '% \_TEST%' escape ' \'

However, when I run this query on sql developer

Select * from table where column like 'TEST %', it returns the same result. (without exhaust the character special _.)

I was just wondering, if this is because default sqldeveloper escapes special characters? or do we still have to write the leak as a good practice?

Thank you!

Ryan

Lines that are LIKE 'TEST %' will include all lines that are LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'. If all lines which that interest you conform to the mask, they will also appear when you perform the first. You can have records that correspond to the first but not the second, although:

SQL > create table testdata until

SELECT 'ABCTESTXYZ' val double UNION ALL

SELECT "AB_TESTXYZ" FROM double

Table created.

SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '\_TEST% %' ESCAPE ' \'

VAL

----------

AB_TESTXYZ

1 selected line.

SQL > SELECT * FROM testdata WHERE val LIKE '% TEST % '.

VAL

----------

ABCTESTXYZ

AB_TESTXYZ

2 selected lines.

  • Special characters could not load DB via SQL * MORE

    Hi, I have a pl as .accidentally sets sql script which will insert data in database. The question is there are some records are missing and these missing records contains a special character: Sansao and Strasse. The strange was if I run the script via F5 (Toad), all data can be inserted successfully but run through SQL * MORE (Toad), all records that contain special characters are not inserted.

    Anyone here know why it didn't load these special characters via SQL * MORE?

    Probably because you have given unicode (multi byte charsets) you read with a customer of standard single-byte character set.

    It's SILLY to loading data using SQL * more. It's the wrong tool used for loading the data. It does not support the bind variable. It doesn't support liaison in bulk. It does not support direct path inserts. It is not SQL * Loader.

  • Replace special characters

    Hello

    I need SQL or PL/SQL code to replace special characters such as!, @, #, $, %, ^ of the given string.

    For example, if the given string is

    "it is - test * strin #g to @ spe % ial charact!" ERS"he should replace all special characters and provide the output voltage

    It's test string with special characters

    Please enter the code

    Thank you

    You have commas in the character set block and the [[: alnum:]] is equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9], you may want to include a space in this updated chacter block.

    Select REGEXP_REPLACE ("This is test * strin #g to @ spe % ial charact!") ERS ',' [^ [: alnum:]] *', ")

    Output

    It's test string with blue characters

    EDIT: I do not know what will want the characters allow the OP. For example, a comma, question mark, comma, colon, apostrophe, full stop etc. are all valid in a sentence.

    Kind regards

    Arianne.

    Here is the difference:

    • Standard report column: this is used when your column in the SQL query returns the HTML markup. For example the query SQL with APEX_ITEM API columns or columns where you have mixed data in the column with the markup. In short, APEX rendering engine treats the column as HTML markup and analysis accordingly to display the required HTML element.
    • Display text (escape special characters): this type analysis the column data in the form of data stored in the database (no HTML). During analysis if the data contains special characters then it escapes and displays the data.

    Yes, you can mix the manual in the form of built on APEX_ITEM with normal standard report (display text) columns.

    I hope this helps!

    Kind regards

  • Function to remove special characters in a column.

    Hi all

    In one of my column, we get special characters, as well as others. The data are extracted and loaded through Informatica. We are not face any problem while loading into the target, but when we try to extract these data through the report, it fails with the error:

    ORA-29275: partial multibyte character sets

    When we check this column, we find the special characters. Initially, we have implemented logic with the CHR to replace these NULL values. But every time we get different values. To make the permanent solution, we decided to remove all characters except available on Board of the key.

    Now, to this end, I need to write a function in Oracle's PL/SQL. I do not know more easy way from there to achieve. If I go with the CHR() function, I have to write for all these characters, which I think is not the right solution.

    Enjoy, if someone can help me identify the function or the way to get there.

    Thanks in advance.

    It depends on your keyboard.

    All that is on the keyboard you, something similar to this shoud work:

    REGEXP_REPLACE (string_column

    , '[^]0-9A-Za-z~!@#$%^&*()_+`={}| [\:";'' <>?,./-]'

    )

    This will return a copy of string_column, but with all the characters that are not not in the 2nd deleted argument.

    [Inside the brackets, ']' must come first (immediately after the ' ^') and '-' must come last.

  • Special characters in password?

    Published by: davejjj on April 2, 2013 10:18

    they can be denied using a function of complexity of password, such as specified in the user profile. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/authentication.htm#i1007341 for a discussion. After reading it, before you do anything, think about these points, which are perhaps not so obvious

    (1) you don't have to use the provided, either in the content or name. The name of the function to use is specified in the profiledefinition. And since you can have multiple profiles (for example, one for ordinary users, the other for the DBA) each profile can specify its own audit function.

    (2) the function is just a bunch of PL/sQL code. There is no magic here. You can code to do what you want - apply different rules of complexity, to require that certain characters, reject some characters, etc. At my last store I specifically rejected 3 different special characters that had proved to be problematic, because the password could pass through systems which would take these characters as a kind of beacon. '@' in a connection string. ' $' in a shell script. And believe it or not, "#" when used by Oracle Forms.

    What version of Oracle are you using? Before 11 g I think only allowed special characters were '_', ' $' and ' # '.

    And 11 g, you need to put the password in quotation marks and must not use comma, backslash or double quote.
