Removing nonnumerical data out of a number + SQL

Question

I\'m trying find the best way to remove nonnumerical data from a varchar in SQL e.g.

\'(082) 000-0000\' to \'0820000000\' or
\'+2782 000 0000\' to \'0820000000\'         


        

Answer 1

What flavour of SQL backend are you using? If there's a regexp_replace kind of function, you could use that to replace [^0-9] with nothing.
