string parsing query
581427Aug 15 2007 — edited Aug 16 2007Hi
I have a string like this " Oracle is a very fine Database" and a table with look up words in a column.
Now the query is, I should be able to parse this string and compare each word in this string with the values in the column
Retain the word as is in the string, if it matches else append the word in the string with the number 1, on a nonmatch.
Is there a special function to do accomplish this parsing in Ora 10g?
For example
Lets say I have all the words in the column except Oracle. Then I should get the string to be "Oracle1 is a very fine Database.
Any ideas will be much appreciated
thanks
