较低的 function 在 SQL Z30162ED78B6C10F74FCZF14Z 中用于 function 时被忽略

Question

I'm having trouble with creating a function in SQL Oracle that is case insensitive. I have been asked to create a function called

containsText(pString1, pString2)

to find if pString2 is in pString1. I'm using the lower() function but it seems to be ignoring the command. If anyone would like to have a go here are the scripts.

First create tables:

-- create types --
create or replace type artist_type as object 
(artistName     varchar(50), 
 artistRole     varchar(25))
/ 
create type artist_array_type  
as varray(5) of artist_type
/ 
create or replace type review_type as object 
(reviewerName   varchar(25), 
 reviewDate     date,
 reviewText     varchar(250), 
 reviewScore    number)
/
create or replace type review_table_type as table of review_type
/
create or replace type album_type as object 
(albumTitle         varchar(50),
 albumPlaytime      number(3), -- minutes
 albumReleaseDate   date, 
 albumGenre         varchar(15),
 albumPrice         number(9,2),
 albumTracks        number(2),
 albumArtists       artist_array_type,
 albumReviews       review_table_type,
member function discountPrice return number,
member function containsText (pString1 varchar2, pString2 varchar2) return integer)
not instantiable not final 
/
create or replace type disk_type under album_type 
( mediaType         varchar(10),
 diskNum            number(2), -- number of disks
 diskUsedPrice      number(9,2),
 diskDeliveryCost   number(9,2), 
overriding member function discountPrice return number)
/
create or replace type mp3_type under album_type
(downloadSize   number, -- size in MB
 overriding member function discountPrice return number)
/
-- create tables --
create table albums of album_type 
object id system generated
nested table albumReviews store as store_reviews 
/ 

Here is one row of data:

insert into albums 
values (disk_type('The Essential Bob Dylan', 99, '8-Jul-2016', 'Pop', 37.00, 32, 
artist_array_type(artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Composer'), 
                  artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Vocals')), 
review_table_type(review_type('Shawn', '24-Jul-2018', 'Wife loved it!', 5), 
                  review_type('Reuben', '2-Aug-2019', 'Great compilation of some of his most known songs', 5)),
'Vinyl', 2, NULL, 11));

Here is the function:

create or replace type body album_type
as 
member function discountPrice return number is

    begin 
        return null;
    end discountPrice;

    member function containsText (pString1 varchar2, pString2 varchar2) return integer is

    begin
        if lower(pString1) like lower('%' || pString2 || '%') then 
             return 1;
        else
            return 0;
        end if;
    end containsText;
end;

Finally the select statement:

select containsText('This is great', 'Great') from albums

should return 1 but returns 0.

Additionally, I have tried the following alternative if statement.

   begin
        if instr(lower(pString1), lower(pString2)) > 0 then 
             return 1;
        else
            return 0;
        end if;
    end containsText;
end;

Answer 1

Your code is not calling the member function, it's calling a different standalone function. Use code like this to call the member function owned by the type:

select a.containsText('This is great', 'Great') result
from albums a;
