@VALONEOF
Use the @VALONEOF
function to compare a string or string (character) column to a list of values. If the value or column is in the list, 1
is returned; otherwise 0
is returned. This function trims trailing spaces before the comparison.
For this function, Oracle GoldenGate supports the use of an escape sequence to represent characters in a string column in Unicode or in the native character encoding of the Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems. The target column must be a SQL Unicode data type if any argument is supplied as Unicode.
This function does not support NCHAR
or NVARCHAR
data types.
Syntax

Example
In the following example, if STATE
is CA
or NY
, the expression returns COAST
, which is the response returned by @IF
when the value is non-zero (true
). Otherwise, the expression returns MIDDLE
.
@IF (@VALONEOF (STATE, 'CA', 'NY'), 'COAST', 'MIDDLE')
