Extracting GUID from Oracle SQL Strings: A Comparative Analysis of REGEXP_SUBSTR() and JSON_VALUE()
Extracting GUID from Oracle SQL Strings ===================================================== In this article, we will explore how to extract GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) values from a string in Oracle SQL. GUIDs are used to uniquely identify resources and data in distributed systems. They consist of 32 hexadecimal characters divided into five groups separated by hyphens. Understanding GUID Format The GUID format is as follows: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx Where x represents a hexadecimal digit. In Oracle SQL, GUIDs are often stored in strings that follow this format.
