HI,

I have a column "size(int)".Some of the values in this coloumn are also alphabets and alphanumeric characters.

I want to find the count of those coloumns(which have alphabets or alphanumeric characters).

Basicaly why i want to do this is that i will be removing all the alphabets since i need only numericals in these coulumns.

Any help is welcome,Jiju A Nair

If you want only numbers, use

SELECT columns from table
where column not like '%[^0-9]%'
