Hello, I have some problems using character class matching (e.g. [:alpha:]).
For example I have a table:
CREATE TABLE re_test (text_column character varying (50) NOT NULL);
Notice, that there is some specific characters.
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('AÅDF');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('AÅDF45');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('AÅDF FDÅA');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('ASDF FDÅA');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('58ASDF FDÅA');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('aÅDf');
INSERT INTO re_test VALUES ('aÅdf');
SELECT * FROM re_test WHERE text_column ~ '[^[:alpha:]]' and text_column ~ [:upper:];
Goal:
I want to write such statement which returns me only those records which have only one word and those words must be uppercase.
So I expect this statemet to return only one record where text_column = AÅDF.
Maybe someone could give me more detail explanation how to use those regexp classes, because the documentation tells very little about this.
