To replace a string with a newline character in Oracle, you can use the REPLACE function along with the CHR() function to insert the newline character. Here is an example SQL query to replace a specific string with a newline character in a column called column_name of a table called table_name:

1
2
3
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = REPLACE(column_name, 'string_to_replace', CHR(10))
WHERE column_name LIKE '%string_to_replace%';


In this query:

  • table_name is the name of the table where you want to replace the string
  • column_name is the name of the column where the replacement will take place
  • string_to_replace is the string that you want to replace with a newline character (CHR(10))


You can adjust the WHERE clause to match specific conditions where you want to replace the string. Make sure to commit the changes after running the query to save the updates to the table.
