Question

I have problem with this query

DECLARE @INPUT INT
SET     @INPUT = 12345

;
WITH ABCD(SEQ, X, Y)
AS
(
    SELECT  1, 
            @INPUT % 10,
            @INPUT / 10

    UNION ALL

    SELECT  SEQ + 1,
            Y % 10,
            Y / 10
    FROM    ABCD
    WHERE   X > 0 OR Y > 0
)
SELECT *
FROM   ABCD
ORDER BY SEQ

this query will produce something like this

I want to convert this to Oracle 10g (must valid for 10g)

Thank you

Answer 1

I’m cheating a bit to compute X by relying on string parsing rather than the mathematical operations. But something like this appears to work

EDIT: Forgot about the 6th row. I also removed the character string cheat

with t as (
  select 12345 col1 from dual
)
select level seq, 
       trunc((col1 - 
              power(10,level) * trunc(col1/(power(10,level)))) / 
             power(10,level-1)) x,
       trunc(col1/(power(10,level))) y 
  from t
 connect by level <= length(col1)+1
