Hi all,

INSERT INTO pan_number(pan) VALUES('ABCDE1234A');

INSERT INTO pan_number(pan) VALUES('FGHIG5678F');

INSERT INTO pan_number(pan) VALUES('ABCDE12345');

INSERT INTO pan_number(pan) VALUES('ABCD1234A');

select * from pan_number;

now i need to validate valid PAN number which is of " The first 5 letters should be alphabets & last letter as alphabet & total length of PAN no. should be 10 digit"

i need to display valid PAN number , only first two rows are valid PAN numbers.

so can u please help me

Hi,

You can use REGEXP_LIKE for your pattern matching and LENGTH for checking the length of each code.

Hi Dariyoosh,
SELECT pan
FROM pan_number
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(pan,'[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]');
By using above query i got the required output.
Thanks a lot

Close! You never said that - after 5 letters - the following 4 "characters" are digits. Are they? Or is abcdeXXXXf valid as well?

regexp_like(col, '^[[:alpha:]]{5}....[[:alpha:]]$')

In addition to what Littlefoot said, the current pattern accept only capital letters. So instead of [A-Z] you may want to use [a-zA-Z] (unless the requirement was only capital letters).

Also [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z] can be written as [A-Z]{5}

Dariyoosh

[a-z] are also alphabetic characters.

Yes, that's why I told him that his current pattern REGEXP_LIKE(pan,'[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]'); does not accept them.

In addition, depending on NLS_CHARACTERSET, [ [:aplha:] ] is not always the same thing as [a-zA-Z].

Dariyoosh

Correct (and I didn't say this was the case, just give example of alphabetic characters that are not in [A-Z]).
More clear specification have to be provided but this is just a detail, the solution is there.

@Littlefoot

Yes, first five characters are alphabets,4 characters are digits and last one character is alphabet (totally 10 characters)

SELECT pan
FROM pan_number
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(pan, '^:alpha:{5}....:alpha:$');
then this will not properly in some case like "ABCDEFG34A"

SELECT pan
FROM pan_number
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(pan, '^:alpha:{5}:digit:{4}:alpha:$');
this is working fine

Thanks a lot for all

So instead of [A-Z] you may want to use [a-zA-Z] (unless the requirement was only capital letters).


You can always use ignore case(i), instead of mentioning as [a-zA-Z]

And did the OP tell you that he wanted to ignore the letter case?? As Michel said, more information is to be provided, not by me, not by you, but by the OP.

Welcome to the forum.
Please read the OraFAQ Forum Guide.

I failed to see how this could be related to the current topic?
I also failed to understand your question.
Please create a new topic (click on "NEW TOPIC" button top-right the forum and explain in details your issue.
Don't forget to post your Oracle version (with 4 decimals like 12.2.0.1).

Given your other question, you (or rather Oracle) verify a value at INSERT time adding a CHECK constraint to your table column.

And another variation

SELECT pan
FROM pan_number
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(pan, '^[A-Z]{5}.{4}[A-Z]{1}$');

using this regular expression the following strings are valid

ABCDE1234A
FGHIG5678F

and the following strings arew invalid
ABCDE12345
ABCD1234A

If the positions from 6-9 need to be a number you can use

SELECT pan
FROM pan_number
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(pan, '^[A-Z]{5}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]{1}$');
