Kirti
I needed to do something similar but it isn't due to bad normalisation it
is to extract data in a load process so we don't have bad normalisation. I
decided to use Java and built a parser in that and I just feed it a line
and the code simply extracts that data on the selected delimiter. Mine the
delimiter is a fixed value in code, it could be altered to use a runtime
selected value. I can provide the source if it would be of use.
Cheers

Subject: SQL Question
I need some help...
The database table has following structure.
commision_id number
com_text_msg varchar2(500)
The second column contains data fields that are delimited by ~ and delimiter's position varies. But there are only eight data fields in the column.
Is there a way in SQL, other than substr/instr combinations, to extract
each
data field to report?
Thanks.
