I have a string coming from a table like \"can no pay{1},as your payment{2}due on {3}\". I want to replace {1} with some value , {2} with some value and {3} with some value
Let's write the same sample as a CTE only:
with fg_rulez as (
select 1 id,'<' symbol, 'less than' text from dual
union all select 2, '>', 'greater than' from dual
union all select 3, '$', 'dollars' from dual
union all select 4, '+', 'and' from dual
), fg_Data AS (
SELECT 'amount $ must be < 1 + > 2' str FROM dual
union all
SELECT 'John is > Peter + has many $' str FROM dual
union all
SELECT 'Eliana is < mary + do not has many $' str FROM dual
), q(str, id) as (
SELECT str, 0 id
FROM fg_Data
UNION ALL
SELECT replace(q.str,symbol,text), fg_rulez.id
FROM q
JOIN fg_rulez
ON q.id = fg_rulez.id - 1
)
SELECT str from q where id = (select max(id) from fg_rulez);
