In Oracle, the TRANSLATE
function is used to replace a set of characters in a string with another set of characters. The TRANSLATE
function takes three arguments: the input string, the set of characters to be replaced, and the set of characters to replace them with.
Here is the syntax of the TRANSLATE
function:
scssTRANSLATE(input_string, characters_to_replace, replacement_characters)
The input_string
argument is the string that you want to modify, the characters_to_replace
argument is the set of characters that you want to replace, and the replacement_characters
argument is the set of characters that you want to replace them with. The length of the characters_to_replace
and replacement_characters
arguments must be equal.
Here is an example of how to use the TRANSLATE
function:
sqlSELECT TRANSLATE('Hello World!', 'eo', 'xy') AS translated_string
FROM dual;
In this example, the TRANSLATE
function replaces all occurrences of the characters 'e' and 'o' in the input string 'Hello World!' with the characters 'x' and 'y', respectively. The resulting string is 'Hxllx Wyrld!'.
The TRANSLATE
function can be useful for modifying strings in a variety of ways, such as removing characters, replacing characters, or changing the case of characters. Note that the TRANSLATE
function is case-sensitive.
