Oracle:find det største tal inden for en streng

Du kan tokenisere strengen til alle dens talkomponenter og derefter finde maksimum:

select max(to_number(
    regexp_substr('sdfAB98:(hjkl,)AB188(uiop)uuuAB78:jknd', '(\d+)', 1, level))
  ) as max_value
from dual
connect by regexp_substr('sdfAB98:(hjkl,)AB188(uiop)uuuAB78:jknd', '(\d+)', 1, level)
  is not null;

 MAX_VALUE
----------
       188

eller

select max(to_number(
    regexp_substr('sdfAB98:(hjkl,)AB188(uiop)uuuAB78:jknd', '(\d+)', 1, level, null, 1))
  ) as max_value
from dual
connect by level <= regexp_count('sdfAB98:(hjkl,)AB188(uiop)uuuAB78:jknd', '\d+');

 MAX_VALUE
----------
       188

Hvis du har brug for at hente værdier fra flere rækker, skal du have connect-by'et for at matche ID'erne, og du skal også inkludere en reference til en ikke-deterministisk funktion for at forhindre looping; med to værdier i en CTE:

with your_table (id, str) as (
  select 1, 'sdfAB98:(hjkl,)AB188(uiop)uuuAB78:jknd' from dual
  union all select 2, '123abc456abc78d9' from dual
)
select id, max(to_number(regexp_substr(str, '(\d+)', 1, level, null, 1))) as max_value
from your_table
connect by prior id = id
and prior dbms_random.value is not null
and level <= regexp_count(str, '\d+')
group by id;

        ID  MAX_VALUE
---------- ----------
         1        188
         2        456
