here thinking, know in field, first word @ least 2 characters long.
select * table! substring(name, 1, 3) '[a-z]'
however, bringing non capital letters ideas?
select ... mytable name not '%[^a-z]%' collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_cs_as
it should noted exclude numbers , characters outside a-z. if wanted non-latin upper case characters included, need use upper
function along collate
predicate:
select ... mytable name = upper(name) collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_cs_as
test script:
with testdata ( select '012324' name union select 'abc' union select 'abc' union select 'abc' union select 'abé' union select 'abÉ' ) select * testdata name = upper(name) collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_cs_as
results:
012324 abc abÉ
