Using WMSYS.WM_CONCAT with Oracle XE 10g

问题

When I try to use WMSYS.WM_CONCAT with Oracle XE 10g, I receive a compilation error: ORA-00904: "WMSYS"."WM_CONCAT": invalid identifier. Can anyone verify that this is indeed due to XE lacking this (undocumented) feature? If so, is there anyway to enable it in XE?

回答1:

I had found a couple reference sites, but had no luck enabling it. I ended up writing my own function to handle the concatenation.

CREATE or replace FUNCTION CONCAT_LIST( cur SYS_REFCURSOR, sep Varchar2 ) RETURN  VARCHAR2 IS
ret VARCHAR2(32000);
tmp VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
loop
  fetch cur into tmp;
  exit when cur%NOTFOUND;
    if ret is null then
       ret := tmp;
    else
      ret := ret || sep || tmp;
    end if;

end loop;
RETURN ret; END;/

Then it can be called as

SELECT distinct CONCAT_LIST(CURSOR(SELECT id FROM test_table1), ',') test_table1 FROM dual

Just create this function by yourself:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE wm_concat_impl
   AUTHID CURRENT_USER
AS OBJECT (
   curr_str   VARCHAR2 (32767),
   STATIC FUNCTION odciaggregateinitialize (sctx IN OUT wm_concat_impl)
      RETURN NUMBER,
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregateiterate (
      SELF   IN OUT   wm_concat_impl,
      p1     IN       VARCHAR2
   )
      RETURN NUMBER,
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregateterminate (
      SELF          IN       wm_concat_impl,
      returnvalue   OUT      VARCHAR2,
      flags         IN       NUMBER
   )
      RETURN NUMBER,
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregatemerge (
      SELF    IN OUT   wm_concat_impl,
      sctx2   IN       wm_concat_impl
   )
      RETURN NUMBER
);
/

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY wm_concat_impl
IS
   STATIC FUNCTION odciaggregateinitialize (sctx IN OUT wm_concat_impl)
      RETURN NUMBER
   IS
   BEGIN
      sctx := wm_concat_impl (NULL);
      RETURN odciconst.success;
   END;
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregateiterate (
      SELF   IN OUT   wm_concat_impl,
      p1     IN       VARCHAR2
   )
      RETURN NUMBER
   IS
   BEGIN
      IF (curr_str IS NOT NULL)
      THEN
         curr_str := curr_str || ',' || p1;
      ELSE
         curr_str := p1;
      END IF;

      RETURN odciconst.success;
   END;
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregateterminate (
      SELF          IN       wm_concat_impl,
      returnvalue   OUT      VARCHAR2,
      flags         IN       NUMBER
   )
      RETURN NUMBER
   IS
   BEGIN
      returnvalue := curr_str;
      RETURN odciconst.success;
   END;
   MEMBER FUNCTION odciaggregatemerge (
      SELF    IN OUT   wm_concat_impl,
      sctx2   IN       wm_concat_impl
   )
      RETURN NUMBER
   IS
   BEGIN
      IF (sctx2.curr_str IS NOT NULL)
      THEN
         SELF.curr_str := SELF.curr_str || ',' || sctx2.curr_str;
      END IF;

      RETURN odciconst.success;
   END;
END;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION wm_concat (p1 VARCHAR2)
   RETURN VARCHAR2
   AGGREGATE USING wm_concat_impl;

It is recommended not to use WM_CONCAT since it is an undocumented feature and it has been removed from 12c version. See Why not use WM_CONCAT function in Oracle?

If you are on 11gR2 and up, use LISTAGG.

For version prior to 11g where LISTAGG is not supported, you could use ROW_NUMBER() and SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH functions.

For example,

SELECT deptno,
       LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(ename,','))
       KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS employees
FROM   (SELECT deptno,
               ename,
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY ename) AS curr,
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY ename) -1 AS prev
        FROM   emp)
GROUP BY deptno
CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND deptno = PRIOR deptno
START WITH curr = 1;

    DEPTNO EMPLOYEES
