Hi All,

Could you please help me with the SQL Query to fetch rows without repeating the text of the message, if field have part of message same in that table.

Example:
CREATE TABLE my_tbl_dup_text 
  ( 
     emplid   VARCHAR(11), 
     NAME     VARCHAR(40), 
     fld_name VARCHAR(4), 
     descr    VARCHAR(200) 
  );

INSERT INTO my_tbl_dup_text 
VALUES      ('23456', 
             'JAMES', 
             'FLD1', 
             'MISSING STATE, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING PHONE NO'); 

INSERT INTO my_tbl_dup_text 
VALUES      ('23456', 
             'JAMES', 
             'FLD2', 
             'MISSING STATE, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING CITY'); 

Assume the text message MISSING STATE or MISSING COUNTRY may have or not in the DESCR field.

I'm expecting output as below:


SELECT DESCR FROM my_tbl_dup_text;

output:
MISSING STATE, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING PHONE NO, MISSING CITY

Thank You.

Regards
Suji

XML solution:

with t as (
           select  xmlelement("root",xmlagg(xmlelement("a",a))) x
             from  my_tbl_dup_text,
                   xmltable(
                            'ora:tokenize(.,", ")'
                            passing descr || ', '
                            columns a varchar2(25) path '.'
                           )
           )
select  xmlquery(
                 'fn:string-join(
                                 distinct-values(
                                                 for $e in $x/root/a
                                                   return $e
                                                ),
                                 ", "
                                )
                '
                passing x as "x"
                returning content
               ) x
  from  t
/

The following assumes that you will want to list the combined texts for each emplid and name and that each of the descriptions are separated by commas.

-- test table and data that you provided:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> COLUMN name     FORMAT A5
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> COLUMN fld_name FORMAT A8
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> COLUMN descr    FORMAT A50 WORD_WRAPPED
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> SELECT * FROM my_tbl_dup_text
  2  /

EMPLID      NAME  FLD_NAME DESCR
----------- ----- -------- --------------------------------------------------
23456       JAMES FLD1     MISSING STATE, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING PHONE NO
23456       JAMES FLD2     MISSING STATE, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING CITY

2 rows selected.

-- query:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> COLUMN text     FORMAT A65 WORD_WRAPPED
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> SELECT emplid, name, LISTAGG (text, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY text) text
  2  FROM   (SELECT DISTINCT t.emplid, t.name, TRIM (REGEXP_SUBSTR (descr, '[^,]+', 1, x.COLUMN_VALUE)) text
  3  	     FROM   my_tbl_dup_text t,
  4  		    TABLE
  5  		      (CAST
  6  			(MULTISET
  7  			  (SELECT ROWNUM
  8  			   FROM   DUAL
  9  			   CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT (t.descr, ',') + 1)
 10  			 AS SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST)) x)
 11  GROUP  BY emplid, name
 12  /

EMPLID      NAME  TEXT
----------- ----- -----------------------------------------------------------------
23456       JAMES MISSING CITY, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING PHONE NO, MISSING STATE

1 row selected.

-- or if you want them combined for the whole table:
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> COLUMN text     FORMAT A65 WORD_WRAPPED
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> SELECT LISTAGG (text, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY text) text
  2  FROM   (SELECT DISTINCT t.emplid, t.name, TRIM (REGEXP_SUBSTR (descr, '[^,]+', 1, x.COLUMN_VALUE)) text
  3  	     FROM   my_tbl_dup_text t,
  4  		    TABLE
  5  		      (CAST
  6  			(MULTISET
  7  			  (SELECT ROWNUM
  8  			   FROM   DUAL
  9  			   CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT (t.descr, ',') + 1)
 10  			 AS SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST)) x)
 11  /

TEXT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MISSING CITY, MISSING COUNTRY, MISSING PHONE NO, MISSING STATE

1 row selected.

That assumes combined list or unique parts never exceeds 4000 bytes.

Ah, good point. I figured there must be some advantage to your XML solution.

Just in using XMLAGG instead of LISTAGG. The rest of it will perform better using multiset or, if OP is on 12C, LATERAL/CROSS APPLY.
