Hi

Can any one tell me how to shuffle data in a column.
data in a column can be varchar or number.

eg

Emp_no emp_name
123 robert
342 jack
6456 tom
3232 peter
454 caprio


I want an output like
Emp_no emp_name
123 borelr
342 jcak
6456 tmo
3232 teerp
454 paorio

Some of us can't or don't want to download, but a short but representative test case INLINE and post it formatted as per OraFAQ Forum Guide.

In addition, explain your output. What is the rule?

You need to select each of the columns that you want to sort independently, along with a densely populated order column that lists the position in the list that each value should come at.

You then join the seperate queries on the Order column:
with src as (select 123  empno, 'robert' ename from dual union all
             select 342  ,'jack'   from dual union all
             select 6456 ,'tom'    from dual union all
             select 3232 ,'peter'  from dual union all
             select  454  ,'caprio' from dual)
select empno,ename
from   (select empno,row_number() over (order by empno) empno_ord
        from   src) s1
      ,(select ename,row_number() over (order by ename) ename_ord
        from   src) s2
where  s1.empno_ord = s2.ename_ord;

I think you didn't notice (I didn't at first read) that name letters are scrambled.
