Graydon on the swing set

Gabe and Graydie had ice cream cones and swingset time in the back yard. The ice cream served mainly to get them extra grubby really really fast, but they had fun so it was worth the cleanup.

More Oracle regexp_like

Two more examples of regexp_like for the memory banks:


-- convert to NULL if SOME_COL is not A,B,C,1,2,or 3
case
when (regexp_like(a.SOME_COL,'[^A-C1-3]'))
then NULL
else
a.SOME_COL
end as SOME_COL,

-- convert to 0000 if the col's value is not a series of valid digits
case
when (regexp_like (a.ANOTHER_COL,'[^[:digit:]]'))
then '0000'
else
a.ANOTHER_COL
end as ANOTHER_COL,

Gabe did the honors of plucking our first garden vegetable today. We chopped up the banana pepper, it was full of fresh-from-the-garden goodness:
