ORACLE中translate的妙用

  下面是文档中的话

 

The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':

SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',

'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',

'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"

FROM DUAL;

License

--------

9XXX999

 

The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:

SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',

'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')

"Translate example"

FROM DUAL;

Translate example

-----------------

2229

 

我们在利用TRANSLATE取出一个字段中的数字或文字的时候就可以巧用这个函数

 

select translate('23456中国3-00=.,45','0123456789'||'23456中国3-00=.,45','0123456789') from dual;

 

如果要取出汉字的话转变一下就可以了
