[Oracle Function] Date Function Warehouse

Just Make sure to keep the useful Oracle date function in my memery.

 

 

Oracle/PLSQL: REGEXP_REPLACE Function

 

Example: SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('123abcde^+_','[^0-9]+','0') FROM DUAL

Result: 1230

 

Replace all nut [0~9] chart to 0.

 

SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(substr(str_id, instr(str_id,'_',-1,1)+1),'[^0-9]+','0') from t_string_resource;

 

 

Oracle/PLSQL: SUBSTR and INSTR Function

substr(str_data, from_index); // cut string

instr(str_data, find_char,from, to)  // find char

 

select substr('MSG_GS_12345', instr('MSG_GS_12345','_',-1,1)+1) from dual;

 

Oracle/PLSQL: Trunc Function (with dates)

---

In Oracle/PLSQL, the trunc function returns a date truncated to a specific unit of measure.

The syntax for the trunc function is:

trunc ( date, [ format ] )

date is the date to truncate.

format is the unit of measure to apply for truncating. If the format parameter is omitted, the trunc function will truncate the date to the day value, so that any hours, minutes, or seconds will be truncated off.

 

Below are the valid format parameters:

Unit Valid format parameters

Year	SYYYY, YYYY, YEAR, SYEAR, YYY, YY, Y
ISO Year	IYYY, IY, I
Quarter	Q
Month	MONTH, MON, MM, RM
Week	WW
IW	IW
W	W
Day	DDD, DD, J
Start day of the week	DAY, DY, D
Hour	HH, HH12, HH24
Minute	MI

 

Applies To:

• Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g, Oracle 11g

 

For example:

trunc(to_date('22-AUG-03'), 'YEAR')	would return '01-JAN-03'返回当前日期所在年的第一天
trunc(to_date('22-AUG-03'), 'Q')	would return '01-JUL-03'返回当前日期所在季度的第一天
trunc(to_date('22-AUG-03'), 'MONTH')	would return '01-AUG-03'返回当前日期所在月的第一天
trunc(to_date('22-AUG-03'), 'DDD')	would return '22-AUG-03'返回当前日期所在周的第一个周日
trunc(to_date('22-AUG-03'), 'DAY')	would return '17-AUG-03'返回当前日期所在日

 

 

Coral example:

select to_char(t.issue_date, 'w') "week",
       sum(t.commission) "commission",
       sum(t.fee) "fee"
  from t_fee_general t
 where t.status_id = 'issued'
   and t.issue_date >=TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MM') 
   and t.issue_date <=last_day(SYSDATE)
 group by to_char(t.issue_date, 'w') order by "week";

select trunc(to_date('22-AUG-10'), 'YEAR') from dual;
select trunc(to_date('23-AUG-10'), 'DDD') from dual;
select trunc(to_date('23-AUG-10'), 'DAY') from dual;

 

 

 

Oracle/PLSQL: Next_Day Function

---

In Oracle/PLSQL, the next_day function returns the first weekday that is greater than a date .

The syntax for the next_day function is:

next_day( date, weekday )

date is used to find the next weekday.

weekday is a day of the week (ie: SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY)

 

Applies To:

• Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g, Oracle 11g

 

For example:

next_day('01-Aug-03', 'TUESDAY')	would return '05-Aug-03' 返回当前日期的下一个周二
next_day('06-Aug-03', 'WEDNESDAY')	would return '13-Aug-03'返回当前日期的下一个周三
next_day('06-Aug-03', 'SUNDAY')	would return '10-Aug-03'返回当前日期的下一个周日

 

Coral example:

select next_day('03-Aug-10', 'TUESDAY') from dual;

 

 

Oracle/PLSQL: Add_Months Function

---

In Oracle/PLSQL, the add_months function returns a date plus n months.

The syntax for the add_months function is:

add_months( date1, n )

date1 is the starting date (before the n months have been added).

n is the number of months to add to date1 .

 

Applies To:

• Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g, Oracle 11g

 

For example:

add_months('01-Aug-03', 3)	would return '01-Nov-03'返回当前日期的下3个月的这天
add_months('01-Aug-03', -3)	would return '01-May-03'返回当前日期的前3个月的这天
add_months('21-Aug-03', -3)	would return '21-May-03'返回当前日期的前3个月的这天
add_months('31-Jan-03', 1)	would return '28-Feb-03'返回当前日期的下1个月的这天，如果前一个月没有这天，则使用前一个月最大日期。

 

Coral example

select add_months('30-Aug-10', -6) from dual; 结果为2010-2-28
