Looks like REGEXP_SUBSTR is an Oracle function, Visakh.To hey_frind: in Microsoft SQL Server, there is no equivalent function. This forum is for Microsoft SQL Server, so if you are using Oracle, you would get better and faster responses at another forum such as dbforums.com.I am somewhat jealous of Oracle users now. We sorely need regex capabilities in SQL Server without having to resort to CLR. Hopefully in Sequel to SQL 2012 they will add it. I wonder what sequel to SQL 2012 would be code-named. Kilimanjaro? Everest? |
