Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows how to determine if a specific character belongs to the alphabet of the current locale? What I would like is to have a function 'FUNCTION isalpha(c IN VARCHAR(1)) RETURN NUMBER' that returns true (1) if c is alphabetic and false (0) if c is not in the set of alphabetic characters. Maybe there is a built-in function that I have missed?

I use Oracle 8.1.5/Enterprise edition.

Please help,
