I have a database table (Oracle 11g) of questionnaire feedback, including multiple choice, multiple answer questions. The Options column has each value the user could choose, and the Answers column has the numerical values of what they chose.
我有一个数据库表(Oracle 11g)的问卷反馈,包括多项选择,多个答案问题。 Options列具有用户可以选择的每个值,Answers列具有他们选择的数值。
ID_NO OPTIONS ANSWERS
1001 Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea 1|2
1002 Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea 2|3
1003 Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea 1|2|3
I need a query that will decode the answers, with the text versions of the answers as a single string.
我需要一个能够解码答案的查询,并将答案的文本版本作为单个字符串。
ID_NO ANSWERS ANSWER_DECODE
1001 1|2 Apple Pie|Banana-Split
1002 2|3 Banana-Split|Cream Tea
1003 1|2|3 Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea
I have experimented with regular expressions to replace values and get substrings, but I can't work out a way to properly merge the two.
我已经尝试使用正则表达式来替换值并获得子串,但我无法找到一种方法来正确合并这两者。
WITH feedback AS (
SELECT 1001 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1002 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '2|3' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1003 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2|3' answers FROM DUAL )
SELECT
id_no,
options,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(options||'|', '(.)+?\|', 1, 2) second_option,
answers,
REGEXP_REPLACE(answers, '(\d)+', ' \1 ') answer_numbers,
REGEXP_REPLACE(answers, '(\d)+', REGEXP_SUBSTR(options||'|', '(.)+?\|', 1, To_Number('2'))) "???"
FROM feedback
I don't want to have to manually define or decode the answers in the SQL; there are many surveys with different questions (and differing numbers of options), so I'm hoping that there's a solution that will dynamically work for all of them.
我不想手动定义或解码SQL中的答案;有许多调查都有不同的问题(以及不同数量的选项),所以我希望有一个解决方案可以动态地为所有问题工作。
I've tried to split the options and answers into separate rows by LEVEL, and re-join them where the codes match, but this runs exceedingly slow with the actual dataset (a 5-option question with 600 rows of responses).
我试图通过LEVEL将选项和答案拆分成单独的行,并在代码匹配的地方重新加入它们,但这对于实际数据集(具有600行响应的5选项问题)运行得非常慢。
WITH feedback AS (
SELECT 1001 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1002 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '2|3' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1003 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2|3' answers FROM DUAL )
SELECT
answer_rows.id_no,
ListAgg(option_rows.answer) WITHIN GROUP(ORDER BY option_rows.lvl)
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT
LEVEL lvl,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(options||'|', '(.)+?\|', 1, LEVEL) answer
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT
options,
REGEXP_COUNT(options||'|', '(.)+?\|') num_choices
FROM
feedback)
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= num_choices
) option_rows
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT
id_no,
to_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR(answers, '(\d)+', 1, LEVEL)) answer
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT
id_no,
answers,
To_Number(REGEXP_SUBSTR(answers, '(\d)+$')) max_answer
FROM
feedback)
WHERE
to_number(REGEXP_SUBSTR(answers, '(\d)+', 1, LEVEL)) IS NOT NULL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= max_answer
) answer_rows
ON option_rows.lvl = answer_rows.answer
GROUP BY
answer_rows.id_no
ORDER BY
answer_rows.id_no
If there isn't a solution just using Regex, is there a more efficient way than LEVEL to split the values? Or is there another approach that would work?
如果没有使用正则表达式的解决方案,是否有比LEVEL更有效的方法来分割值?还是有另一种方法可行吗?

It's slow because you're expanding each row too many times; the connect-by clauses you're using are looking across all the rows, so you're ending up with a huge amount of data to then sort - which is presumably why you ended up with the DISTINCT
in there.
它很慢,因为你将每行扩展太多次;您正在使用的连接子句正在查看所有行,因此您最终需要大量数据才能进行排序 - 这可能就是为什么您最终会在那里使用DISTINCT。
You can add two PRIOR
clauses to the connect-by, firstly so the ID_NO
is preserved, and a second to avoid a loop - any non-deterministic function will do for this, I've picked dbms_random.value
but you can use sys_guid
if you prefer, or something else. You also don't need to many subqueries, you can do it with two; or as CTEs which I think it s a bit clearer:
您可以向连接添加两个PRIOR子句,首先保留ID_NO,然后第二个以避免循环 - 任何非确定性函数都会为此做,我选择了dbms_random.value但是您可以使用sys_guid if你喜欢什么,或者别的什么。你也不需要很多子查询,你可以用两个;或者作为我认为更清楚的CTE:
WITH feedback AS (
SELECT 1001 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1002 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '2|3' answers FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 1003 id_no, 'Apple Pie|Banana-Split|Cream Tea' options, '1|2|3' answers FROM DUAL
),
option_rows AS (
SELECT
id_no,
LEVEL answer,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(options, '[^|]+', 1, LEVEL) answer_text
FROM feedback
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT(options, '[^|]+')
AND id_no = PRIOR id_no
AND PRIOR dbms_random.value IS NOT NULL
),
answer_rows AS (
SELECT
id_no,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(answers, '[^|]+', 1, LEVEL) answer
FROM feedback
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= REGEXP_COUNT(answers, '[^|]+')
AND PRIOR id_no = id_no
AND PRIOR dbms_random.value IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT
option_rows.id_no,
LISTAGG(option_rows.answer, '|') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY option_rows.answer) AS answers,
LISTAGG(option_rows.answer_text, '|') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY option_rows.answer) AS answer_decode

JOIN answer_rows

I've written a close solution in MySQL (don't have Oracle installed right now) - but I've written what needs to be changed in order for the query to work in Oracle.
我在MySQL中编写了一个紧密的解决方案(现在没有安装Oracle) - 但我已经编写了需要更改的内容,以便查询在Oracle中运行。
Also, the ugliest part of my code will be much better looking in Oracle since it has a much better INSTR function.
此外,我的代码中最丑陋的部分在Oracle中会更好看,因为它具有更好的INSTR功能。
The idea is to do a CROSS JOIN with a list of numbers (1 to 10 in order to support up to 10 options per survey), and break-down the OPTIONS field into different rows... (you do this by using both the list of numbers and Oracle's INSTR function, see the comments).
