常用Oracle函数记录

1. Oracle的replace函数与translate函数

replace函数是在字符串级别的代替,对应字符串一一替换

SQL> SELECT REPLACE('accd','cd','ef') from dual;

REPLACE('ACCD','CD','EF')
-------------------------
acef

translate函数是在字符级别的代替,对应字符一一替换   translate(expr,from_string,to_string) 

SQL> select translate('acdd','cd','ef') from dual;

TRANSLATE('ACDD','CD','EF')
---------------------------
aeff

translate函数在to_string位置为空,则返回值为空

SQL> select translate('acdd','cd','') from dual;

TRANSLATE('ACDD','CD','')
-------------------------
 

translate中有#的特殊用法，以#开头的表示所有字符

SQL> select translate('liyan4h123ui','#liyanhui','#') from dual;

TRANSLATE('LIYAN4H123UI','#LIY
------------------------------

SQL> select translate('liyan4h123ui','#liyanhui','#z') from dual;

TRANSLATE('LIYAN4H123UI','#LIY
------------------------------
z4123

SQL> select translate('liyan4h123ui','#liyanhui','#zx') from dual; 

TRANSLATE('LIYAN4H123UI','#LIY
------------------------------
zx4123x

SQL> select translate('asadad434323', '#0123456789','#') from dual; 

TRANSLATE('ASADAD434323','#012
------------------------------
asadad

2. Oracle的nvl函数与coalesce函数

nvl函数与coalesce函数都是处理null值的函数

不同是nvl函数只支持两个参数，coalesce函数可以支持多个参数，效率更高

他们都是返回第一个不为null的值

SQL> select nvl('beijing','shanghai') from dual;

NVL('BEIJING','SHANGHAI')
-------------------------
beijing

SQL> select nvl(null,'shanghai') from dual;

NVL(NULL,'SHANGHAI')
--------------------
shanghai

SQL> select coalesce('beijing','shanghai','shandong') from dual;

COALESCE('BEIJING','SHANGHAI',
------------------------------
beijing 

SQL> select coalesce(null,null,'shandong') from dual;

COALESCE(NULL,NULL,'SHANDONG')
------------------------------
shandong
