Hi,
I want to select usernames that formed from
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890' characters, from a column of my table.
E.g. 'John' will be selected as a result of this query but names like 'john+ or jöhn' won't be selected. Because they have one or more character which isn't given on my character list. How can i filter words like that ? Thanks.
