REGEXP_REPLACE :
The following query places a space between Oracle its version using REGEXP_REPLACE function. For example, Oracle9i will become Oracle 9i, Oracle10g will become Oracle 10g. We are looking for a series of alphabets and take them as group 1. Then we are looking for a group of digits followed by any character and treat it as group 2. Then we replace the original with \1 (group 1) a space and \2 (group 2).

select regexp_replace('Oracle10g','([[:alpha:]]+)([[:digit:]]+.)','\1 \2') from dual;
Example:
select 'Oracle10g' ACTUAL_DATA, regexp_replace('Oracle10g','([[:alpha:]]+)([[:digit:]]+.)','\1 \2') Transformed_Data from dual;
REGULAR EXPRESSION TO ADD LEADING AND TRAILING SPACE TO NON-ALPHA NUMERIC CHARACTERS EXCEPT $ :
Query :
select '||||a$' ACTUAL_DATA,
regexp_replace('||||a$','([^[:alnum:]$])',' \1 ') Transformed_Data from dual;
