Gurus, Oracle 11..2.0.3 on Linux R6 == 1) I have a field with a data type of varchar2 that has integers and non-integer characters. 2) Example: 214’ or 61+45 or 88/8. 3) How can i remove the non-integer characters from the table ? 4) Can a function be written to remove non-integer characters ?, so in the example it would be 214 or 6145 or 888 == Appreciate any pointers to solve this, thank you in advance.
