I have a column of nvarchar look like this
col
--------
123hello45
12345
hello
Expect output
col
--------
hello
Azure Synapse doesn’t support regular expression. How can I find out if the rows contains letters only?
>Solution :
We can use SQL Server’s enhanced LIKE operator here:
SELECT col
FROM yourTable
WHERE col NOT LIKE '%[^A-Za-z]%';
The logic here is any col value which does not have one or more non letter characters therefore must be only letters.
