Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Is a string numeric
Allan,
Why don't you try a Regular Expression?
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(searchString', '\D+') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
will get you back at least a one-char non-empty string of anything that is
NOT a digit in searchString. This result is NOT a number.
If searchString has only digits, this query will return NULL so this way
you know it is a number. The "pattern" to search for '\D+' will match at
least one non-digit character.
This query will detect only integer numeric expressions. If you want to
detect a decimal point or comma, you would have to try another search
pattern, and that makes it a little more complicated, but not impossible.
HTH.
Javier Sanchez.
