I have created a pl/sql block to find the number of occurences of a given character in a string. For example if the string is 'ramakrishnan' then the number of occurence of 'a' is 3.

Is there any way to find the answer in a single query?
Can any one tell me?

Try ...

select length(string)-length(replace(string,character,'')) from dual;
