cross-dbms måde at kontrollere, om strengen er numerisk

Nedenfor er tre separate implementeringer for hver af SQL Server, MySQL og Oracle. Ingen bruger (eller kan) den samme tilgang, så der ser ikke ud til at være en tværgående DBMS-måde at gøre det på. For MySQL og Oracle er det kun den simple heltalstest, der vises; for SQL Server vises den fulde numeriske test.

For SQL Server:bemærk at isnumeric('.') returnerer 1.. men det kan faktisk ikke konverteres til float. Noget tekst som "1e6" kan ikke konverteres direkte til numerisk, men du kan passere gennem float og derefter numerisk.

Til MySQL

create table tmp(x varchar(100));
insert into tmp
    select 'db01' union all select '1' union all select '1e2' union all
    select '1234' union all select '' union all select null union all
    select '1.2e4' union all select '1.e10' union all select '0' union all
    select '1.2e+4' union all select '1.e-10' union all select '1e--5' union all
    select '.' union all select '.123' union all select '1.1.23' union all
    select '-.123' union all select '-1.123' union all select '--1' union all
    select '---1.1' union all select '+1.123' union all select '++3' union all
    select '-+1.123' union all select '1 1' union all select '1e1.3' union all
    select '1.234' union all select 'e4' union all select '+.123' union all

    select '+3e+4' union all select '-3.2e+4' union all select '1e1e1' union all
    select '-1e-1-1';

select x,
    case when x not regexp('[^0-9]') then x*1 end as SimpleInt
from tmp order by 2

Til Oracle

case when REGEXP_LIKE(col, '[^0-9]') then col*1 end
