Hello

Is it possible to create a LIKE clause that checks if a domain has one dot and not two dots(subdomain)?

Regards!

WHERE url LIKE '%.%' AND url NOT LIKE '%.%.%'

or you could try an ETL Solution instead of a scan

Really Brett, keep it on topic, don't hijack other threads because you disagree with someone.

So...you're saying that's not correct?

SELECT *
WHERE COL <> REPLACE(Col,'.','')

?????

Yes this is not correct. It gives values that have atleat a dot and not neccessarily a single dot

Handy if you need to know HOW MANY dots - rather than just "no more than one"


LEN(COL) - LEN(REPLACE(Col,'.',''))
