Hi

You can do something like this

no number(10) ;
begin

  no := to_number(substr(character_with_pattern, length(character_with_pattern),1);

Is there any way to do pattern matching in a PL/SQL trigger? In other words,
if I had two strings and one ended with a character (ie. "g") and one ended with a number, is there a way to search for it so that it would flag if it is
only a number?
