query on FIND_IN_SET - mysql

The following query
SELECT ASSOCIATED_RISK
FROM PROJECT_ISSUES
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('98',ASSOCIATED_RISK);
returns output as
96,98
90,98
but if I use
SELECT ASSOCIATED_RISK
FROM PROJECT_ISSUES
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('96,98',ASSOCIATED_RISK);
it doesn't returns anything.In this case I would like to retrieve the first row.
96,98

Use the AND clause, like this:
SELECT ASSOCIATED_RISK
FROM PROJECT_ISSUES
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('96',ASSOCIATED_RISK)
AND FIND_IN_SET('98',ASSOCIATED_RISK)
Your query is failing because FIND_IN_SET() does not work properly if the first argument contains a comma (",") character. Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_find-in-set. In your case, the first argument is '96,98', so it fails.

Your comment:
is there any other way I can get it in single query instead of framing multiple find_in_set and concat them
As an alternative solution, you can use locate on your ASSOCIATED_RISK value.
Example:
locate( replace( '96,98', ',', '' ), replace( ASSOCIATED_RISK, ',', '' ) )
Edit:
As per Aziz Shaikh comment, we can see that there is a possibility of true result though the search string not existing in the target string.
As an alternative solution, you can replace the search string from target string with an empty string and compare the lengths. If original string's length is grater than new replaced string, then it is a found true result.
Example:
-- this should be greater than 0 for a found true
length( ASSOCIATED_RISK ) > length( replace( ASSOCIATED_RISK, '96,98', '' ) )

This will Give result. see the difference.
SELECT ASSOCIATED_RISK FROM PROJECT_ISSUES WHERE FIND_IN_SET(ASSOCIATED_RISK,'96,98');

MySQL get value from string with char_length()

I have a column that consists of details of an orderline named 'ConcatValue'. An example of a value in this column is:
573856014/100/M00558640/OrderQty12
I want to extract the order value which can be founded after 'OrderQty'. I thought I had a solution by executing the following statement: substr(ConcatValue,char_length(ConcatValue)-1,char_length(ConcatValue))
This results in only level the last 2 characters of the string from the column ConcatValue. For the ConcatValue mentioned above I will get the following result: '12'. Which is the desired result.
But when the orderline has an Order quantity below 10, for example in the following ConcatValue:573856014/100/M00558640/OrderQty3
I will get the following result: y3
My question: Is there a way to delete 'y' if a row has an y within the value? Or is there a way to replace the y with a 0? Or is there a way to only select the last digits from the ConcatValue string?
Use string functions.
With substring_index() you can get the last part of the string and with replace() remove 'OrderQty':
select replace(
substring_index(ConcatValue, '/', -1),
'OrderQty',
''
)
from tablename
Actually, the simplest method is simply:
select substring_index(ConcatValue, 'OrderQty', -1)

Capture groups in mysql regexp

I have a table with a varchar column that represents a path. I want to search for rows that have a path that follow a pattern like name.name[*] where name can be anything. I am looking for repeated strings contained anywhere in the path column that are separated by a period and have a square bracket after them.
This seems to call for Regexp, so through python I have something like https://regex101.com/r/apS20a/4
However, trying to implement this with MySQL Regexp is not working. I have been able to translate the shorthand into REGEXP '([A-Za-z_]+).(\1[[0-9]+])', but it seems that MySql Regex does not support capture groups. Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do with mysql regexp? Thank you
I don't think that MySQL supports capture groups. But if you only have one example of .name[ in the string between the first . and the first [, you can hack your way around it. This is not a general solution, just a specific approach in this case.
You can get the name with:
select substring_index(substring_index(url, '[', 1), '.', -1) as name
And then incorporate this into a regular expression:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
substring_index(substring_index(url, '[', 1), '.', -1) as name
from t
) t
where url like concat('%', name, '.', name, '[%');
This just uses like instead of regexp, because [ and . are regular expression wildcards. Of course, this assumes that name does not have _ or %.
EDIT:
Here is a method that actually identifies when this occurs -- and works even if there are multiple patterns.
The idea is to construct the regular expression based on what happens between the . and [ -- and then to apply it. Delightfully self-referential:
select t.*,
(url regexp regex)
from (select t.*,
substr(regexp_replace(url, '[^.]*[.]([^\\[]*)\\[[^.]*', '|$1[.]$1\\\\['), 2) as regex
from (select 'abcde.de[12345.345[ABC' as url union all
select 'abcdefdef[[[[..123.124['
) t
) t;
Here is the above in a db<>fiddle.

MySQL - extract number from data field using SUBSTRING

I'd like to extract the number between NUMBER and ;. So far I can extract the data up to the number, but I don't want anything after the number. e.g.,
SELECT
SUBSTRING(field, LOCATE('NUMBER=', rrule) + 7)
FROM table
Data field:
DATA:PASS=X12;NUMBER=331;FIELD=1
DATA:PASS=X12;NUMBER=2;FOO=BAR;FIELD=1
Desired Output:
331
2
You can use a combination of SUBSTRING_INDEX functions:
SELECT
SUBSTRING_INDEX(
SUBSTRING_INDEX(field, 'NUMBER=', -1),
';',
1)
FROM
tablename
Please see an example fiddle here.
The inner SUBSTRING_INDEX will return everything after the NUMBER= string, while the second will return everything before the ; returned by the inner function.

Use replace with in clause

Got ids stored in DB with Json format like this
'["1454","474","545"]'
I can build list IDs :
SELECT replace
(replace(
replace(
replace('["1454","474","545"]','[','\'')
,']','\'')
,'"','')
,',','\',\'')
mySql returns '1454','474','545'
But when I try to list DB records from this build list of IDs :
SELECT col FROM table WHERE col in (REPLACE
(REPLACE(
REPLACE(
REPLACE('["1454","474","545"]','[','\'')
,']','\'')
,'"','')
,',','\',\''));
mySql says "0 records" even if I add a "SELECT" before the first "REPLACE"
Any help ?
Try below query, you need to add select in your in clause also:
SELECT col FROM table WHERE col in (select REPLACE
(REPLACE(
REPLACE(
REPLACE('["1454","474","545"]','[','\'')
,']','\'')
,'"','')
,',','\',\''));
Alas, you cannot use in with a comma delimited string. It takes a list of elements, but not within a string. So, this works as you expect:
where x in (1,2,3)
This does not work as you expect (although it does work as I expect0;
where x in ('1,2,3')
This looks for one value of x that is the string '1,2,3'.
The solution is to use the MySQL function find_in_set():
SELECT col
FROM table
WHERE find_in_set(col, REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE('["1454","474","545"]', '[','\''
), ']', '\''
), '"', ''
), ',', '\',\''
);
To be honest, though, you might be better off with something like:
where '["1454","474","545"]' like concat('%;', col, '&%')

mysql remove last characters is character if its number

From select statement, in a filed I want to remove last characters is character if its number. Is there string function available in MySQL?
for these two SQL I want
test
as output
select 'test1';
select 'test';
Another way is to use REGEXP,
SET #val = 'test12';
SELECT CONCAT(LEFT(#val, CHAR_LENGTH(#val) - 1),
IF(RIGHT(#val, 1) REGEXP '[0-9]' = 0, RIGHT(#val, 1), ''))
SQLFiddle Demo
SQLFiddle Demo (another example)
To remove the last character if it's numeric, one way to do this without using a regular expression is with LEFT, RIGHT and LENGTH :
select if( right(yourfield,1) = 0 && right(yourfield,1) != '0',
yourfield,
left(yourfield, length(yourfield) - 1))
from yourtable;
To replace all trailing numeric values, you can use REVERSE:
select if( cast(reverse(yourfield) as signed) = 0 && right(yourfield,1) != '0',
yourfield,
left(yourfield, length(yourfield) - length((reverse(yourfield) + 0))))
from yourtable;
SQL Fiddle Demo
When casting fields as integers/signed in MySQL, it will cast all the numeric characters up to the first non-numeric character -- thus making the REVERSE work. If the last character is not numeric, it results in 0.
Using the IF check above, if the last character isn't numeric, then it prints the original value, else it prints all but the last character.
here is a pointer:
use a union between two queries.
in the first - either use REGEX, or grab the substr of the field where another substr for the last char is a number,
then union the text field where the substr of the last char is not a number.
You might want to use Regular Expressions inside MySQL. This package might help you https://launchpad.net/mysql-udf-regexp. However, I do not recommend to do it inside MySQL statement as it might be slow. You would better to do it after grabbing the value inside your programming language.
