Syntax
Description of the illustration decompose.gif
An online decomposing fractions calculator to decompose fraction into a unit fraction. Decomposing fractions is breaking up of fractions into several parts that can be added together. Composing fractions is the opposite of decomposing, where all part fractions will be composed as one.
Purpose
(Biology) to break down (organic matter) or (of organic matter) to be broken down physically and chemically by bacterial or fungal action; rot 2. (Chemistry) chem to break down or cause to break down into simpler chemical compounds. Studies of how bodies decompose underwater suggest that if the thalattosaur was a carcass when the ichthyosaur found it, the prey’s limbs would have rotted off before its tail, the authors argue. Command “Decompose” applied (RGB decomposition) with Decompose to layers checked. This command separates the channels (RGB, HSV, CMYK.) of. DECOMPOSE takes as its argument a string in any datatype and returns a Unicode string after decomposition in the same character set as the input. For example, an o-umlaut code point will be returned as the 'o' code point followed by an umlaut code point. String can be any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, CLOB, or NCLOB.
DECOMPOSE
is valid only for Unicode characters. DECOMPOSE
takes as its argument a string in any datatype and returns a Unicode string after decomposition in the same character set as the input. For example, an o-umlaut code point will be returned as the 'o' code point followed by an umlaut code point.

.CANONICAL
causes canonical decomposition, which allows recomposition (for example, with theCOMPOSE
function) to the original string. This is the default.COMPATIBILITY
causes decomposition in compatibility mode. In this mode, recomposition is not possible. This mode is useful, for example, when decomposing half-width and full-width katakana characters, where recomposition might not be desirable without external formatting or style information.
CLOB
and NCLOB
values are supported through implicit conversion. If char
is a character LOB value, it is converted to a VARCHAR
value before the COMPOSE
operation. The operation will fail if the size of the LOB value exceeds the supported length of the VARCHAR
in the particular development environment.
