How to – Use Left and CharIndex in Oracle


Well i was given the task to get the email id’s of the user which was stored in one of our oracle db table.

But the problem was that we wanted that part of emailid which  appears before ‘@’ .

Well coming from SQL Server background i thought it could be acheived using CharIndex and Left Function.

Let’s see what they do

Select Left(‘abcdef’,3)

-> abc

and

select charindex(‘c’,’abcde’)

-> 3

But than as expected there were no functions like charindex and left in Oracle.

After searching i finally managed to found the solution

Inplace of CharIndex we have instr function

select instr(‘ab’,’b’) from dual;

->2

and for left and also right we have

SUBSTR (`ABCDEF’,-5); //Right(..)

SUBSTR (`ABCDEF’,1,5); // Left(…

So finally the query was

substr(emailid,1,Instr(Emailid,’@’)-1)

-1 is used otherwise @ will also come along

And one more thing, to extract username portion from login name i.e  nishantr1 from

abccompany\nishantr1 we could write something as following

SUBSTRING(loginname ,charindex(‘\’,loginname)+1, len(loginname)) for sql server.


Bye

  4. Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  6. Lets begin with stating among the information about this excellent revolutionary weight-reduction plan capsule and
    metabolism price booster. Perhaps the main reason behind this though is that you have developed a dependence on food.

  7. And the Google Content Network can pull up many advertising targeting techniques notwithstanding the fact that you have a massive inventory of
    text and image ads spread across the many websites on the internet.

    Roll forward a few years and the advent of online
    collaboration technologies has led to a different style of collaboration, one which
    opens up to a wiki approach where contributions are welcomed and encouraged from
    all parties. Perhaps it’s better not be using these social networks, they say
    they keep people connected, but only in a virtual world,
    it probably prevents a lot of people from going outside and really connecting.

    Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues.
