( SELECT LEVEL L FROM DUAL

CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (SELECT MAX(REPEAT) FROM T)
) A
WHERE T.REPEAT >= A.L
ORDER BY T.PRODUCTS;

4. Write a query to display each letter of the word "SMILE" in a separate row?

S
M
I
L
E

Solution:

SELECT SUBSTR('SMILE',LEVEL,1) A
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <=LENGTH('SMILE');

5. Convert the string "SMILE" to Ascii values? The output should look like as 83,77,73,76,69.
Where 83 is the ascii value of S and so on.
The ASCII function will give ascii value for only one character. If you pass a string to the ascii
function, it will give the ascii value of first letter in the string. Here i am providing two solutions to
get the ascii values of string.

Solution1:

SELECT SUBSTR(DUMP('SMILE'),15)
FROM DUAL;
