Hi

 

 

Firstly let me mention I am a noob to postgres,DB and sql anyway, I have a column with First names and need to list names that have non-alphanumeric characters in them like + or * and the list goes on.  I did google a bit and tried:

select * from TABLE where first_name not like '%[a-z0-9]%';

 

However the above shows all the entries in that column and if I change it to Like, which should show all the entries it shows nothing.

 

e.g of my goal:

 

Column

Bob

Jane+

Harry*

John

Mike

Larry

 

My query should output

 

Jane+

Harry*
