RE: SQL select records with numeric strings

["Stone, Joel" <Joel.Stone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK the TEXT records contain data for example:



Rec #1:          	John Doe's bank account ABA 123456789
Rec #2:		All deliveries to this customer after 1 pm
Rec #3:		Sally's bank acct: 777888999



I would like to create an SQL select to select recs 1 & 3 because they have a 9 digit string in them.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Joel,

Try this:

SELECT * FROM TEXTFILE  WHERE TRANSLATE(TEXT, ' ',
'1234567890') = ' '

If the result is ' ', the field contains only numbers.

HTH,
