Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SQL Question
Kirti:
If this was Cobol, you could implement a record with a varying size REDEFINES clause. Using Iain's idea, you could change the separator string and then redefine into a record.
What about defining a type with the tilde as the separator?
Thank You

What about
select commission_id, replace(com_text_msg,'~',chr(9)) from tab1
which would work if going to a tab separated file for something like excel.
Whats wrong with substr/instr?

I need some help...
The database table has following structure.
commision_id number
com_text_msg varchar2(500)
The second column contains data fields that are delimited by ~ and delimiter's position varies. But there are only eight data fields in the column.
Is there a way in SQL, other than substr/instr combinations, to extract each data field to report?
Thanks.
