To reverse a string using arrays in Oracle, you can use PL/SQL code. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

DECLARE
   str VARCHAR2(100) := 'Hello World';
   str_length NUMBER := LENGTH(str);
   reversed_str VARCHAR2(100);
   i NUMBER := 1;
   arr dbms_sql.VARCHAR2A;
BEGIN
   -- Convert string to array
   FOR j IN 1..str_length LOOP
      arr(j) := SUBSTR(str, j, 1);
   END LOOP;

   -- Reverse the array
   FOR j IN REVERSE 1..str_length LOOP
      reversed_str := reversed_str || arr(j);
   END LOOP;

   dbms_output.put_line('Original String: ' || str);
   dbms_output.put_line('Reversed String: ' || reversed_str);
END;
/


In this code snippet, we first declare a string str and then convert it to an array arr. We then loop through the array in reverse order and concatenate the elements to form the reversed string reversed_str. Finally, we output the original and reversed strings using dbms_output.put_line.


You can run this PL/SQL code in an Oracle database to reverse a given string using arrays.
