Search set in text column - mysql

I have text column geotargeting that contains country codes separated by comma ("US,DE,CA,GB,IT"). If i have this input string "DE,CA,FR", I want to find all rows that contains one of the given countries.
Something like FIND_IN_SET(str,strlist) but i have 2 string lists.
Thanks.


I think only way you have to use a stored procedure. Check this not ran this code but it can help you
SET #myArrayOfValue = 'US,DE,CA,GB,IT';
SET #myArrayOfValue1 = 'DE,CA,FR';
WHILE (LOCATE(',', #myArrayOfValue) > 0)
DO
SET #value = ELT(1, #myArrayOfValue);
SET #value = SUBSTRING(#myArrayOfValue, LOCATE(',',#myArrayOfValue) + 1);
WHILE (LOCATE(',', #myArrayOfValue1 ) > 0)
DO
SET #value1 = ELT(1, #myArrayOfValue1 );
SET #value1 = SUBSTRING(#myArrayOfValue1 , LOCATE(',',#myArrayOfValue1 ) + 1);
END WHILE;
IF(value = #value1) THEN
// the value match.. do something here, may be insert it in a temporary table
END IF;
END WHILE;

Mysql search & replace with random characters

I have in text some URLS src="https://example.com/public/images/someimage.jpg?itok=WDGFySy"
I need remove in every url this garbage token ?itok=WDGFySy, all tokens obviously are random :).
I try do it directly in database like this:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'itok=[[:xdigit:]]{8}', '') WHERE post_content LIKE 'itok=[[:xdigit:]]{8}
';
But i cant find any of this tokens like this. LIKE this [a-fA-F0-9]{8} also wont help. Any advice? Thank you for any suggestions.

You can only use regex if you have MySQL 8.0.
However, if your links are in separate fields, it is possible to create and use SP to clean them up:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION CLEANUP(
aString VARCHAR(255)
, aName VARCHAR(15)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
BEGIN
SET #u = SUBSTRING_INDEX(aString, '?', 1);
SET #q = SUBSTRING_INDEX(aString, '?', -1);
IF #q = aString THEN
RETURN aString; -- no '?' char found
ELSE
SET #f = LOCATE(CONCAT(aName, '='), #q);
SET #query = IF(#f > 1, SUBSTR(#q, 1, #f - 1), '');
IF #f > 0 THEN
SET #t = LOCATE('&', #q, #f + LENGTH(aName) + 1);
IF #t > 0 THEN
SET #query = CONCAT(#query, SUBSTR(#q, #t + 1));
END IF;
END IF;
IF #query = '' THEN
RETURN #u;
ELSE
RETURN CONCAT(#u, '?', TRIM('&' FROM #query));
END IF;
END IF;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
Then:
SELECT
CLEANUP('https://example.com/public/images/someimage.jpg?itok=WDGFySy&b=2', 'itok')
, CLEANUP('https://example.com/public/images/someimage.jpg?itok=WDGFySy', 'itok')
, CLEANUP('https://example.com/public/images/someimage.jpg?a=1&itok=WDGFySy', 'itok')
, CLEANUP('https://example.com/public/images/someimage.jpg?a=1&itok=WDGFySy&b=2', 'itok')

How to get only Digits from String in mysql?

I have some string output which contain alphanumeric value. I want to get only Digits from that string. how can I fetch this by query? which MySql function can I Use?
My query is like :
select DISTINCT SUBSTRING(referrerURL,71,6)
from hotshotsdblog1.annonymoustracking
where advertiserid = 10
limit 10;
Output :
100683
101313
19924&
9072&h
12368&
5888&h
10308&
100664
1&hash
101104
And I Want output like :
100683
101313
19924
9072
12368
5888
10308
100664
1
101104

If the string starts with a number, then contains non-numeric characters, you can use the CAST() function or convert it to a numeric implicitly by adding a 0:
SELECT CAST('1234abc' AS UNSIGNED); -- 1234
SELECT '1234abc'+0; -- 1234
To extract numbers out of an arbitrary string you could add a custom function like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `ExtractNumber`(in_string VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS INT
NO SQL
BEGIN
DECLARE ctrNumber VARCHAR(50);
DECLARE finNumber VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT '';
DECLARE sChar VARCHAR(1);
DECLARE inti INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
IF LENGTH(in_string) > 0 THEN
WHILE(inti <= LENGTH(in_string)) DO
SET sChar = SUBSTRING(in_string, inti, 1);
SET ctrNumber = FIND_IN_SET(sChar, '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9');
IF ctrNumber > 0 THEN
SET finNumber = CONCAT(finNumber, sChar);
END IF;
SET inti = inti + 1;
END WHILE;
RETURN CAST(finNumber AS UNSIGNED);
ELSE
RETURN 0;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Once the function is defined, you can use it in your query:
SELECT ExtractNumber("abc1234def") AS number; -- 1234

To whoever is still looking, use regex:
select REGEXP_SUBSTR(name,"[0-9]+") as amount from `subscriptions`

Here I got success with this function:
select REGEXP_REPLACE('abc12.34.56-ghj^-_~##!', '[^0-9]+', '')
output: 123456
Explaining: basically I'm asking for mysql replace all 'not numbers' in interval from 0 to 9 to ''.

Based on Eugene Yarmash Answer. Here is a version of the custom function that extracts a decimal with two decimal places. Good for price extraction.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `ExtractDecimal`(in_string VARCHAR(255))

Here is my improvement over ExtractNumber function by Eugene Yarmash.
It strips not only non-digit characters, but also HTML entities like &#[0-9];, which should be considered as non-digit unicode characters too.
Here is the code without UDP on pure MySQL <8.
CREATE DEFINER = 'user'#'host' FUNCTION `extract_number`(
str CHAR(255)
)
RETURNS char(255) CHARSET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci

COMMENT ''

DECLARE tmp VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE res VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT "";
DECLARE chr VARCHAR(1);
DECLARE len INTEGER UNSIGNED DEFAULT LENGTH(str);
DECLARE i INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
IF len > 0 THEN
WHILE i <= len DO
SET chr = SUBSTRING(str, i, 1);
/* remove &#...; */
IF "&" = chr AND "#" = SUBSTRING(str, i+1, 1) THEN
WHILE (i <= len) AND (";" != SUBSTRING(str, i, 1)) DO
SET i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
END IF;
SET tmp = FIND_IN_SET(chr, "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9");
IF tmp > 0 THEN
SET res = CONCAT(res, chr);
END IF;
SET i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
RETURN res;
END IF;
RETURN 0;
END;
But if you are using UDP's PREG_REPLACE, you can use just following line:
RETURN PREG_REPLACE("/[^0-9]/", "", PREG_REPLACE("/&#[0-9]+;/", "", str));

I have rewritten this for MemSQL Syntax:
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS GetNumeric;
DELIMITER //
CREATE FUNCTION GetNumeric(str CHAR(255)) RETURNS CHAR(255) AS
DECLARE i SMALLINT = 1;
DECLARE len SMALLINT = 1;
DECLARE ret CHAR(255) = '';
DECLARE c CHAR(1);
BEGIN
IF str IS NULL
THEN
RETURN "";
END IF;
WHILE i < CHAR_LENGTH( str ) + 1 LOOP
BEGIN
c = SUBSTRING( str, i, 1 );
IF c BETWEEN '0' AND '9' THEN
ret = CONCAT(ret,c);
END IF;
i = i + 1;
END;
END LOOP;
RETURN ret;
END //
DELIMITER ;
SELECT GetNumeric('abc123def456xyz789') as test;

Based on Eugene Yarmash and Martins Balodis answers.
In my case, I didn't know whether the source string contains dot as a decimal separator. Although, I knew how the specific column should be treated. E.g. in case value came up as "10,00" hours but not as "1.00" we know that the last delimiter character should be treated as a dot decimal separator. For this purposes, we can rely on a secondary boolean param that specifies how the last comma separator should behave.

Try,
Query level,
SELECT CAST('1&hash' AS UNSIGNED);
for PHP,
echo intval('13213&hash');

For any newcomers with a similar request this should be exactly what you need.
select DISTINCT CONVERT(SUBSTRING(referrerURL,71,6), SIGNED) as `foo`
from hotshotsdblog1.annonymoustracking
where advertiserid = 10
limit 10;

I suggest using a pivot table (e.g., a table that only contains a vector of ordered numbers from 1 to at least the length of the string) and then doing the following:
SELECT group_concat(c.elem separator '')
from (
select b.elem
from
(
select substr('PAUL123f3211',iter.pos,1) as elem
from (select id as pos from t10) as iter
where iter.pos <= LENGTH('PAUL123f3211')
) b
where b.elem REGEXP '^[0-9]+$') c

It can be done in PHP instead.
foreach ($query_result as &$row) {
$row['column_with_numbers'] = (int) filter_var($query_result['column_with_numbers'], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
}

Try this in php
$string = '9072&h';
echo preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", '', $string);// output: 9072

You want to assign the result of a query to a variable, but in fact you're just selecting. That's why MySQL's complaining.
You have to change this
SELECT p_KeyValue = ListName + '.' + Value
FROM ListsTable
WHERE EntryID = p_ParentID LIMIT 1 ;
to
SELECT CONCAT(ListName, '.', `Value`)
INTO p_KeyValue
FROM ListsTable
WHERE EntryID = p_ParentID LIMIT 1 ;
And you should add an ORDER BY. A LIMIT without ORDER BY doesn't make sense, since there's no guaranteed order in a relational database.

Mysql complains about SELECT statement in your function,
probably it understands SELECT p_KeyValue = ListName + '.' + Value as comparison
change it to
SELECT CONCAT(ListName, '.', Value) INTO p_KeyValue

Mysql WHERE IN (*)

I have a procedure A which takes an array of strings. By calling another procedure B, i break this array in this format:

In case there is only one value, it just displays as '1'

Therefore, my query will be like this: select * from users where userId(*);
What i want is that in case the parameter is null, it should still perform the IN using.

As per FAngel comment, I have completely plagiarized the content here in case the link dies:
CREATE FUNCTION CAP_FIRST (input VARCHAR(255))

DECLARE len INT;
DECLARE i INT;
SET len = CHAR_LENGTH(input);
SET input = LOWER(input);
SET i = 0;
WHILE (i < len) DO
IF (MID(input,i,1) = ' ' OR i = 0) THEN
IF (i < len) THEN

END IF;
SET i = i + 1;

So running the following code...
SELECT CAP_FIRST(
'this is totally like # TEST 1 right!'
)

You can do the following:
http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/blog/30-09-2010/mysql-how-upper-case-words
first define the function as shown, and then run an update statement:
UPDATE table SET someColumn = UC_FIRST(someColumn);
