Re: How do I parse information from a Column

for something like that, don't bother with parsing the SQL_TEXT column, look at the numeric value in COMMAND_TYPE instead. what is stored there is the OCI "command-type" value which can be found in the OCI reference manual (http://docs.oracle.com for your version)...

To save you some time:

• command_type = 2 (insert)
• command_type = 3 (select)
• command_type = 6 (update)
• command_type = 7 (delete)

You're on your own for the 150 other types of SQL commands... :-)

> Hi,

> I am capturing data from v$sqlarea to a table to find out all the query
activities on a database. Now I would like to parse sql_text column from a table to get only DML commands(SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE) and also FROM clause to get table names. The example is:
>
> SELECT

cuid,usid,cufirstname,culastname,cushipfirstname,cushiplastname,cushipaddres s1,cushipaddress2,cushiphomephone,cuemail,cushipcareof,cushipcity,cushipstat e,cushippostalcode,cuadcode,cubilltiid,cuaddress1,cuaddress2,cucity,custate, cupostalcode FROM tblCustinfo WHERE UsID=234563245
