To store double colon values in an Oracle database table, you can simply insert the values into a column of type VARCHAR2 or any other appropriate data type.


For example, if you have a table called "my_table" with a column called "my_column" of type VARCHAR2, you can insert double colon values like this:

1
INSERT INTO my_table (my_column) VALUES ('value1::value2::value3');


You can then query the data using the double colon as a delimiter, using functions like SUBSTR, INSTR, or REGEXP_SUBSTR to extract and manipulate the values as needed.


Keep in mind that storing values with delimiters like double colons can make it more difficult to query and manipulate the data, so consider if there are alternative ways to structure your data to make it easier to work with in the long run.
