oracle -- Split multiple comma separated values in oracle table to multiple rows
I Have a problem with oracle split query.
While splitting comma separated data into multiple rows using connect by and regular expression in oracle query I am getting more duplicate rows. for example actually my table having 150 rows in that one two rows having comma separated strings so overall i have to get only 155 rows but i am getting 2000 rows. If i use distinct its working fine but i dont want duplicate rows in query result.
I tried the following query however it's generating duplicate rows in query result:
WITH CTE AS (SELECT 'a,b,c,d,e' temp,1 slno FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'f,g',2 from dual
UNION
SELECT 'h',3 FROM DUAL)
SELECT TRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR( TEMP, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL)) ,SLNO FROM CTE
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH(REGEXP_REPLACE(temp, '[^,]+')) + 1
EDIT
The above select query is only able to split a single comma delimited string, however, it produces duplicate rows when executed on a table with multiple rows. How to restrict the duplicate rows?
Finally I came up with this answer
WITH CTE AS (SELECT 'a,b,c,d,e' temp, 1 slno FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'f,g' temp, 2 slno FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'h' temp, 3 slno FROM DUAL)
SELECT TRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR(temp, '[^,]+', 1, level)), slno
FROM CTE
CONNECT BY level <= REGEXP_COUNT(temp, '[^,]+')
AND PRIOR slno = slno
AND PRIOR DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE IS NOT NULL
Try like this,
WITH CTE AS (SELECT 'a,b,c,d,e' temp,1 slno FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'f,g',2 from dual
UNION
SELECT 'h',3 FROM DUAL)
SELECT regexp_substr (temp, '[^,]+', 1, rn)temp, slno
FROM cte
CROSS JOIN
(
SELECT ROWNUM rn
FROM (SELECT MAX (LENGTH (regexp_replace (temp, '[^,]+'))) + 1 max_l
from cte
)
connect by level <= max_l
)
WHERE regexp_substr (temp, '[^,]+', 1, rn) IS NOT NULL
order by temp;
