2 SQL Functions

This chapter presents the syntax for SQL functions.

This chapter includes the following section:

- Syntax for SQL Functions

Syntax for SQL Functions

A function is a command that manipulates data items and returns a single value.

The sections that follow show each SQL function and its related syntax. Refer to Chapter 5, "Subclauses" for the syntax of the subclauses.

3 SQL Expressions

This chapter presents the syntax for combining values, operators, and functions into expressions.

This chapter includes the following section:

- Syntax for SQL Expression Types

Syntax for SQL Expression Types

An expression is a combination of one or more values, operators, and SQL functions that evaluate to a value. An expression generally assumes the data type of its components.

Expressions have several forms. The sections that follow show the syntax for each form of expression. Refer to Chapter 5, "Subclauses" for the syntax of the subclauses.

See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for detailed information about SQL expressions

CASE expressions

CASE { simple_case_expression
| searched_case_expression
}
[ else_clause ]
END

Column expressions

A column expression can be a simple expression, compound expression, function expression, or expression list, containing only columns of the subject table, constants, and deterministic functions.

Compound expressions

{ (expr)
| { + | - | PRIOR } expr
| expr { * | / | + | - | || } expr
}

Note: The double vertical bars are part of the syntax
(indicating concatenation) rather than BNF notation.

CURSOR expressions

CURSOR (subquery)

Datetime expressions

expr AT
{ LOCAL
| TIME ZONE { ' [ + | - ] hh:mi'
| DBTIMEZONE
| 'time_zone_name'
| expr
}
}

Function expressions

You can use any built-in SQL function or user-defined function as an expression.

Interval expressions

( expr1 - expr2 )
{ DAY [ (leading_field_precision) ] TO
SECOND [ (fractional_second_precision) ]
| YEAR [ (leading_field_precision) ] TO
MONTH
}

JSON object access expressions

table_alias.JSON_column [.JSON_object_key ]...

Model expressions

{ measure_column [ { condition | expr } [, { condition | expr } ]... ]
| aggregate_function
{ [ { condition | expr } [, { condition | expr } ]... ]
| [ single_column_for_loop [, single_column_for_loop ]... ]
| [ multi_column_for_loop ]
}
| analytic_function
}

Note: The outside square brackets shown in boldface type are part of the syntax.
In this case, they do not represent optionality.

Object access expressions

{ table_alias.column.
| object_table_alias.
| (expr).
}
{ attribute [.attribute ]...
[.method ([ argument [, argument ]... ]) ]
| method ([ argument [, argument ]... ])
}

Placeholder expressions

:host_variable
[ [ INDICATOR ]
:indicator_variable
]

Scalar subquery expressions

A scalar subquery expression is a subquery that returns exactly one column value from one row.

Simple expressions

{ [ query_name.
| [schema.]
{ table. | view. | materialized view. }
] { column | ROWID }
| ROWNUM
| string
| number
| sequence. { CURRVAL | NEXTVAL }
| NULL
}

Type constructor expressions

[ NEW ] [ schema. ]type_name
([ expr [, expr ]... ])

4 SQL Conditions

This chapter presents the syntax for combining one or more expressions and logical (Boolean) operators to specify a condition.

This chapter includes the following section:

- Syntax for SQL Condition Types

Syntax for SQL Condition Types

A condition specifies a combination of one or more expressions and logical (Boolean) operators and returns a value of TRUE, FALSE, or unknown.

Conditions have several forms. The sections that follow show the syntax for each form of condition. Refer to Chapter 5, "Subclauses" for the syntax of the subclauses.

See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for detailed information about SQL conditions

BETWEEN condition

expr1 [ NOT ] BETWEEN expr2 AND expr3

Compound conditions

{ (condition)
| NOT condition
| condition { AND | OR } condition
}

EQUALS_PATH condition

({ expression_list | subquery })
| ( expr [, expr ]... )
{ = | != | ^= | <> }
{ ANY | SOME | ALL }
({ expression_list
[, expression_list ]...
| subquery
}
)
}

where !=, ^=, and <> test for inequality

IN condition

{ expr [ NOT ] IN ({ expression_list | subquery })
| ( expr [, expr ]... )
[ NOT ] IN ({ expression_list [, expression_list ]...
| subquery
}
)
}

IS A SET condition

{ = | != | ^= | <> | > | < | >= | <= }
expr
| (expr [, expr ]...)
{ = | != | ^= | <> }
( expression_list | subquery )
}

where !=, ^=, and <> test for inequality

SUBMULTISET condition

nested_table1
[ NOT ] SUBMULTISET [ OF ]
nested_table2

UNDER_PATH condition

UNDER_PATH (column [, levels ], path_string
[, correlation_integer ]
)

6 Data Types

This chapter presents data types that are recognized by Oracle and available for use within SQL.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Overview of Data Types

- Oracle Built-In Data Types

- Oracle-Supplied Data Types

- Converting to Oracle Data Types

Overview of Data Types

A data type is a classification of a particular type of information or data. Each value manipulated by Oracle has a data type. The data type of a value associates a fixed set of properties with the value. These properties cause Oracle to treat values of one data type differently from values of another.

The data types recognized by Oracle are:

ANSI-supported data types

{ CHARACTER [VARYING] (size)
| { CHAR | NCHAR } VARYING (size)
| VARCHAR (size)
| NATIONAL { CHARACTER | CHAR }
[VARYING] (size)
| { NUMERIC | DECIMAL | DEC }
[ (precision [, scale ]) ]
| { INTEGER | INT | SMALLINT }
| FLOAT [ (size) ]
| DOUBLE PRECISION
| REAL
}

Oracle built-in data types

{ character_datatypes
| number_datatypes
| long_and_raw_datatypes
| datetime_datatypes
| large_object_datatypes
| rowid_datatypes
}

Oracle-supplied data types

{ any_types
| XML_types
| spatial_types
| media_types
}

User-defined data types

User-defined data types use Oracle built-in data types and other user-defined data types to model the structure and behavior of data in applications.

See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for more information about data types

Oracle Built-In Data Types

This section describes the kinds of Oracle built-in data types.

character_datatypes

{ CHAR [ (size [ BYTE | CHAR ]) ]
| VARCHAR2 (size [ BYTE | CHAR ])
| NCHAR [ (size) ]
| NVARCHAR2 (size)
}

datetime_datatypes

{ DATE
| TIMESTAMP [ (fractional_seconds_precision) ]
[ WITH [ LOCAL ] TIME ZONE ]
| INTERVAL YEAR [ (year_precision) ] TO MONTH
| INTERVAL DAY [ (day_precision) ] TO SECOND
[ (fractional_seconds_precision) ]
}

large_object_datatypes

{ BLOB | CLOB | NCLOB | BFILE }

long_and_raw_datatypes

{ LONG | LONG RAW | RAW (size) }

number_datatypes

{ NUMBER [ (precision [, scale ]) ]
| FLOAT [ (precision) ]
| BINARY_FLOAT
| BINARY_DOUBLE
}

rowid_datatypes

{ ROWID | UROWID [ (size) ] }

The codes listed for the data types are used internally by Oracle Database. The data type code of a column or object attribute is returned by the DUMP function.

Table 6-1 Built-in Data Type Summary

Code

Data Type

Converting to Oracle Data Types

SQL statements that create tables and clusters can also use ANSI data types and data types from the IBM products SQL/DS and DB2. Oracle recognizes the ANSI or IBM data type name that differs from the Oracle data type name, records it as the name of the data type of the column, and then stores the column data in an Oracle data type based on the conversions shown in the following table.

Notes:

1. The NUMERIC and DECIMAL data types can specify only fixed-point numbers. For those data types, the scale (s) defaults to 0.

2. The FLOAT data type is a floating-point number with a binary precision b. The default precision for this data type is 126 binary, or 38 decimal.

3. The DOUBLE PRECISION data type is a floating-point number with binary precision 126.

4. The REAL data type is a floating-point number with a binary precision of 63, or 18 decimal.

Do not define columns with the following SQL/DS and DB2 data types, because they have no corresponding Oracle data type:

- GRAPHIC

- LONG VARGRAPHIC

- VARGRAPHIC

- TIME

Note that data of type TIME can also be expressed as Oracle datetime data.

7 Format Models

This chapter presents the format models for datetime and number data stored in character strings.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Overview of Format Models

- Number Format Models

- Datetime Format Models

Overview of Format Models

A format model is a character literal that describes the format of DATETIME or NUMBER data stored in a character string. When you convert a character string into a datetime or number, a format model tells Oracle how to interpret the string.

See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for more information on format models

Number Format Models

You can use number format models:

- In the TO_CHAR function to translate a value of NUMBER data type to VARCHAR2 data type

- In the TO_NUMBER function to translate a value of CHAR or VARCHAR2 data type to NUMBER data type

Number Format Elements

A number format model is composed of one or more number format elements. The following table lists the elements of a number format model.

Table 7-1 Number Format Elements

Element

Example

Description

, (comma)

9,999

Returns a comma in the specified position. You can specify multiple commas in a number format model.

Restrictions:

- A comma element cannot begin a number format model.

- A comma cannot appear to the right of a decimal character or period in a number format model.

. (period)

99.99

Returns a decimal point, which is a period (.) in the specified position.

Restriction: You can specify only one period in a number format model.

$

$9999

Returns value with a leading dollar sign.

0

0999

9990

Returns leading zeros.

Returns trailing zeros.

9

9999

Returns value with the specified number of digits with a leading space if positive or with a leading minus if negative. Leading zeros are blank, except for a zero value, which returns a zero for the integer part of the fixed-point number.

B

B9999

Returns blanks for the integer part of a fixed-point number when the integer part is zero (regardless of zeros in the format model).

C

C999

Returns in the specified position the ISO currency symbol (the current value of the NLS_ISO_CURRENCY parameter).

D

99D99

Returns in the specified position the decimal character, which is the current value of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER parameter. The default is a period (.).

Restriction: You can specify only one decimal character in a number format model.

EEEE

9.9EEEE

Returns a value using in scientific notation.

G

9G999

Returns in the specified position the group separator (the current value of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER parameter). You can specify multiple group separators in a number format model.

Restriction: A group separator cannot appear to the right of a decimal character or period in a number format model.

L

L999

Returns in the specified position the local currency symbol (the current value of the NLS_CURRENCY parameter).

MI

9999MI

Returns negative value with a trailing minus sign (-).

Returns positive value with a trailing blank.

Restriction: The MI format element can appear only in the last position of a number format model.

PR

9999PR

Returns negative value in <angle brackets>.

Returns positive value with a leading and trailing blank.

Restriction: The PR format element can appear only in the last position of a number format model.

RN

rn

RN

Returns positive value with a leading plus sign (+).

Returns negative value with a trailing minus sign (-).

Returns positive value with a trailing plus sign (+).

Restriction: The S format element can appear only in the first or last position of a number format model.

TM

TM

The text minimum number format model returns (in decimal output) the smallest number of characters possible. This element is case insensitive.

The default is TM9, which returns the number in fixed notation unless the output exceeds 64 characters. If the output exceeds 64 characters, then Oracle Database automatically returns the number in scientific notation.

Restrictions:

- You cannot precede this element with any other element.

- You can follow this element only with one 9 or one E (or e), but not with any combination of these. The following statement returns an error:
SELECT TO_CHAR(1234, 'TM9e') FROM DUAL;

U

U9999

Returns in the specified position the Euro (or other) dual currency symbol, determined by the current value of the NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY parameter.

V

999V99

Returns a value multiplied by 10n (and if necessary, round it up), where n is the number of 9's after the V.

X

XXXX

xxxx

Returns the hexadecimal value of the specified number of digits. If the specified number is not an integer, then Oracle Database rounds it to an integer.

Restrictions:

- This element accepts only positive values or 0. Negative values return an error.

- You can precede this element only with 0 (which returns leading zeroes) or FM. Any other elements return an error. If you specify neither 0 nor FM with X, then the return always has one leading blank. Refer to Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for information on the FM format model modifier.

See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Language Reference for more information on number format models

Datetime Format Models

You can use datetime format models:

- In the TO_CHAR, TO_DATE, TO_TIMESTAMP, TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ, TO_YMINTERVAL, and TO_DSINTERVAL datetime functions to translate a character string that is in a format other than the default datetime format into a DATETIME value

- In the TO_CHAR function to translate a DATETIME value that is in a format other than the default datetime format into a character string

Datetime Format Elements

A datetime format model is composed of one or more datetime format elements. The following table lists the elements of a date format model.

Table 7-2 Datetime Format Elements

DL

Yes

Returns a value in the long date format, which is an extension of Oracle Database's DATE format, determined by the current value of the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter. Makes the appearance of the date components (day name, month number, and so forth) depend on the NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_LANGUAGE parameters. For example, in the AMERICAN_AMERICA locale, this is equivalent to specifying the format 'fmDay, Month dd, yyyy'. In the GERMAN_GERMANY locale, it is equivalent to specifying the format 'fmDay, dd. Month yyyy'.

Restriction: You can specify this format only with the TS element, separated by white space.

DS

Yes

Returns a value in the short date format. Makes the appearance of the date components (day name, month number, and so forth) depend on the NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_LANGUAGE parameters. For example, in the AMERICAN_AMERICA locale, this is equivalent to specifying the format 'MM/DD/RRRR'. In the ENGLISH_UNITED_KINGDOM locale, it is equivalent to specifying the format 'DD/MM/RRRR'.

Restriction: You can specify this format only with the TS element, separated by white space.
