_ and “%” are special characters used inside LIKE clause. So to find string with _ or %
we need to add ESCAPE in search query

Example:

SELECT * FROM t WHERE email_id LIKE ‘%!_%‘ ESCAPE ‘!‘

SELECT * FROM t WHERE str LIKE ‘%!%%‘ ESCAPE ‘!‘
SELECT * FROM t WHERE str LIKE ‘%\%%‘ ESCAPE ‘\‘

Oracle recommends that you specify explicit conversions, rather than rely on implicit or
automatic conversions,

for these reasons:

•SQL statements are easier to understand when you use explicit data type conversion
functions.
•Implicit data type conversion can have a negative impact on performance

Example:

SELECT salary + ‘10‘ FROM employee; –Implicit conversion

SELECT salary + TO_NUMBER(‘10‘) FROM employee; –Explicit conversion

SELECT SUM(e.sal)
FROM emp e GROUP BY deptno HAVING e.deptno IN (10, 20) ORDER BY SUM(e.sal)

In Emp table number of employee working in DALLAS are only 2 records. But in view
v_emp the employees working in DALLAS are 8 records so emp table data is not key
preserved in the view. That means each row of the view not exactly representing the
same row in emp table so if we try to delete from the view, it will throw below error.

ORA-01752: cannot delete from view without exactly one key-preserved table
