PostgreSQL字符串函數(shù)
PostgreSQL的字符串函數(shù)主要用于字符串操作。下表詳細(xì)介紹了重要的字符串函數(shù)：
ASCII(str)
Returns the numeric value of the leftmost character of the string str. Returns 0 if str is the empty string. Returns NULL if str is NULL. ASCII() works for characters with numeric values from 0 to 255.
- testdb=# SELECT ASCII('2');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | ASCII('2') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | 50 |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
- testdb=# SELECT ASCII('dx');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | ASCII('dx') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | 100 |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
BIT_LENGTH(str)
返回位字符串str的長度。
- testdb=# SELECT BIT_LENGTH('text');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | BIT_LENGTH('text') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | 32 |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CHAR_LENGTH(str)
Returns the length of the string str, measured in characters. A multi-byte character counts as a single character. This means that for a string containing five two-byte characters, LENGTH() returns 10, whereas CHAR_LENGTH() returns 5。
- testdb=# SELECT CHAR_LENGTH('text');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | CHAR_LENGTH('text') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | 4 |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CHARACTER_LENGTH(str)
CHARACTER_LENGTH() is a synonym for CHAR_LENGTH()。
CONCAT(str1,str2,...)
Returns the string that results from concatenating the arguments. May have one or more arguments. If all arguments are non-binary strings, the result is a non-binary string. If the arguments include any binary strings, the result is a binary string. A numeric argument is converted to its equivalent binary string form; if you want to avoid that, you can use an explicit type cast, as in this example：
- testdb=# SELECT CONCAT('My', 'S', 'QL');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | CONCAT('My', 'S', 'QL') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | MySQL |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
#p#
CONCAT_WS(separator,str1,str2,...)
CONCAT_WS() stands for Concatenate With Separator and is a special form of CONCAT(). The first argument is the separator for the rest of the arguments. The separator is added between the strings to be concatenated. The separator can be a string, as can the rest of the arguments. If the separator is NULL, the result is NULL。
- testdb=# SELECT CONCAT_WS(',','First name','Last Name' );
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | CONCAT_WS(',','First name','Last Name' ) |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | First name, Last Name |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
LCASE(str)
LCASE() is a synonym for LOWER()。
LEFT(str,len)
Returns the leftmost len characters from the string str, or NULL if any argument is NULL。
- testdb=# SELECT LEFT('foobarbar', 5);
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | LEFT('foobarbar', 5) |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | fooba |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
LENGTH(str)
Returns the length of the string str, measured in bytes. A multi-byte character counts as multiple bytes. This means that for a string containing five two-byte characters, LENGTH() returns 10, whereas CHAR_LENGTH() returns 5。
- testdb=# SELECT LENGTH('text');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | LENGTH('text') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | 4 |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
LOWER(str)
Returns the string str with all characters changed to lowercase according to the current character set mapping.
- testdb=# SELECT LOWER('QUADRATICALLY');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | LOWER('QUADRATICALLY') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | quadratically |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
LPAD(str,len,padstr)
Returns the string str, left-padded with the string padstr to a length of len characters. If str is longer than len, the return value is shortened to len characters.
- testdb=# SELECT LPAD('hi',4,'??');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | LPAD('hi',4,'??') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | ??hi |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
LTRIM(str)
Returns the string str with leading space characters removed.
- testdb=# SELECT LTRIM(' barbar');
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | LTRIM(' barbar') |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
- | barbar |
- +---------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
MID(str,pos,len)
MID(str,pos,len) is a synonym for SUBSTRING(str,pos,len).
POSITION(substr IN str)
POSITION(substr IN str) is a synonym for LOCATE(substr,str).
QUOTE_IDENT(string text), QUOTE_LITERAL(string text), QUOTE_LITERAL(value anyelement), QUOTE_NULLABLE(value anyelement)
All these functions return the given string suitably quoted to be used as an identifier in an SQL statement string. In the function QUOTE_IDENT, Quotes are added only if necessary. In function QUOTE_LITERAL, embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. If a value is passed, coerce the given value to text and then quote it as a literal. The function QUOTE_NULLABLE, coerces the given value to text and then quote it as a literal; or, if the argument is null, return NULL.
Following are the examples for all these functions：
- testdb=# SELECT QUOTE_IDENT('Foo bar');
- quote_ident
- -------------
- "Foo bar"
- (1 row)
- testdb=# SELECT QUOTE_LITERAL(E'O\'Reilly');
- quote_literal
- ---------------
- 'O''Reilly'
- (1 row)
- testdb=# SELECT QUOTE_LITERAL(42.5);
- quote_literal
- ---------------
- '42.5'
- (1 row)
- testdb=# SELECT QUOTE_NULLABLE(42.5);
- quote_nullable
- ----------------
- '42.5'
- (1 row)
#p#
expr REGEXP pattern
REGEXP_MATCHES(string text, pattern text [, flags text]) function performs a pattern match of expr against pattern. Returns 1 if expr matches pat; otherwise it returns 0. If either expr or pat is NULL, the result is NULL. REGEXP_MATCHES is not case sensitive, except when used with binary strings.
REGEXP_REPLACE(string text, pattern text, replacement text [, flags text]) function replaces substring(s) matching a POSIX regular expression.
REGEXP_SPLIT_TO_ARRAY(string text, pattern text [, flags text ]), Split string using a POSIX regular expression as the delimiter.
REGEXP_SPLIT_TO_TABLE(string text, pattern text [, flags text]), splits string using a POSIX regular expression as the delimiter.
Following are the examples for all these functions：
- testdb=# SELECT REGEXP_MATCHES('ABCDEF' ,'A%C%%');

- right
- -------
- rbar
- (1 row)
RPAD(str,len,padstr)
Returns the string str, right-padded with the string padstr to a length of len characters. If str is longer than len, the return value is shortened to len characters。

SUBSTRING(str,pos)
SUBSTRING(str FROM pos)
SUBSTRING(str,pos,len)
SUBSTRING(str FROM pos FOR len)
The forms without a len argument return a substring from string str starting at position pos. The forms with a len argument return a substring len characters long from string str, starting at position pos. The forms that use FROM are standard SQL syntax. It is also possible to use a negative value for pos. In this case, the beginning of the substring is pos characters from the end of the string, rather than the beginning. A negative value may be used for pos in any of the forms of this function。
