Hi,
I need some assistance with writing a pl/sql procedure to validate a string for special characters. I have Oraccle 9i database and am using oracle 9.0.2 client. I have read about regular expressions validation in 10g but need to implement a task in oracle 9i database. Any ideas would be helpful.
I tried creating a lookup table with the list of all valid characters and then parsing the string one character at a time to see if it belongs to the valid characters list. this works fine but is not elegant so was checking if there was a way of doing regular expression type check in oracle 9i.
Thanks

I don't think, you can use another method except storing these special characters somewhere in the database or in pl/sql array and comparing it.
Hope it helps.
