Oracle SQL - Find special non numeric characters in field
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(<column>, '[^[:digit:]]');
Hope it helps...
You can also use the TRANSLATE function to do this, as follows:
SELECT *
FROM A_TABLE a
WHERE LENGTH(TRANSLATE(a.FIELD, 'x0123456789', 'x')) IS NOT NULL
The expression LENGTH(TRANSLATE(a.FIELD, 'x0123456789', 'x'))
will return NULL if the field contains only numeric characters. If non-numeric characters are present it will return the number of non-numeric characters.
Share and enjoy.
Try this
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE regexp_like(column_name,'[^0-9]+');`
This will pick all those rows which have non numeric characters in the column.
