这是另一个递归CTE解决方案，基于@Gerhard Weiss的回答。您应该能够将整个代码块复制并粘贴到SSMS中，并在那里使用它。结果包括一些额外的列，以帮助我们理解发生了什么。我花了一段时间才理解了PATINDEX (RegEx)和递归CTE的全部原理。

DECLARE @DefineBadCharPattern varchar(30)
SET @DefineBadCharPattern = '%[^A-z]%'  --Means anything NOT between A and z characters (according to ascii char value) is "bad"
SET @DefineBadCharPattern = '%[^a-z0-9]%'  --Means anything NOT between a and z characters or numbers 0 through 9 (according to ascii char value) are "bad"
SET @DefineBadCharPattern = '%[^ -~]%'  --Means anything NOT between space and ~ characters (all non-printable characters) is "bad"
--Change @ReplaceBadCharWith to '' to strip "bad" characters from string
--Change to some character if you want to 'see' what's being replaced. NOTE: It must be allowed accoring to @DefineBadCharPattern above
DECLARE @ReplaceBadCharWith varchar(1) = '#'  --Change this to whatever you want to replace non-printable chars with 
IF patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN, @ReplaceBadCharWith) > 0
    BEGIN
        RAISERROR('@ReplaceBadCharWith value (%s) must be a character allowed by PATINDEX pattern of %s',16,1,@ReplaceBadCharWith, @DefineBadCharPattern)
        RETURN
    END
--A table of values to play with:
DECLARE @temp TABLE (OriginalString varchar(100))
INSERT @temp SELECT ' 1hello' + char(13) + char(10) + 'there' + char(30) + char(9) + char(13) + char(10)
INSERT @temp SELECT '2hello' + char(30) + 'there' + char(30)
INSERT @temp SELECT ' 3hello there'
INSERT @temp SELECT ' tab' + char(9) + ' character'
INSERT @temp SELECT 'good bye'

这个解决方案受到Allen先生的解决方案的启发，需要一个整数的Numbers表(如果您想进行具有良好性能的严肃查询操作，您应该手头有这个表)。它不需要CTE。您可以更改NOT IN(…)表达式以排除特定字符，或将其更改为IN(…)只保留某些字符的OR LIKE表达式。

SELECT (
    SELECT  SUBSTRING([YourString], N, 1)
    FROM    dbo.Numbers
    WHERE   N > 0 AND N <= CONVERT(INT, LEN([YourString]))
        AND SUBSTRING([YourString], N, 1) NOT IN ('(',')',',','.')
    FOR XML PATH('')
) AS [YourStringTransformed]
FROM ...

下面是使用iTVF删除非字母字符的另一种方法。首先，需要一个基于模式的字符串分配器。以下是Dwain Camp文章中的一段:

-- PatternSplitCM will split a string based on a pattern of the form 
-- supported by LIKE and PATINDEX 
-- 
-- Created by: Chris Morris 12-Oct-2012 
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[PatternSplitCM]
(
       @List                VARCHAR(8000) = NULL
       ,@Pattern            VARCHAR(50)
) RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING 
AS 

RETURN
    WITH numbers AS (
        SELECT TOP(ISNULL(DATALENGTH(@List), 0))
            n = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
        FROM
        (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) d (n),
        (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) e (n),
        (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) f (n),
        (VALUES (0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) g (n)
    )

    SELECT
        ItemNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY MIN(n)),
        Item = SUBSTRING(@List,MIN(n),1+MAX(n)-MIN(n)),
        [Matched]
    FROM (
        SELECT n, y.[Matched], Grouper = n - ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY y.[Matched],n)
        FROM numbers
        CROSS APPLY (
            SELECT [Matched] = CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(@List,n,1) LIKE @Pattern THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
        ) y
    ) d
    GROUP BY [Matched], Grouper

现在你有了一个基于模式的拆分器，你需要拆分匹配模式的字符串:

[a-z]

然后将它们连接起来以得到想要的结果:

SELECT *
FROM tbl t
CROSS APPLY(
    SELECT Item + ''
    FROM dbo.PatternSplitCM(t.str, '[a-z]')
    WHERE Matched = 1
    ORDER BY ItemNumber
    FOR XML PATH('')
) x (a)

样本

结果:

| Id |              str |              a |
|----|------------------|----------------|
|  1 |    test“te d'abc |     testtedabc |
|  2 |            anr¤a |           anra |

SQL Server 2017+的另一个可能的选项，没有循环和/或递归，是使用TRANSLATE()和REPLACE()的基于字符串的方法。

t - sql声明:

DECLARE @pattern varchar(52) = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

SELECT 
   v.[Text], 
   REPLACE(
      TRANSLATE(
         v.[Text],
         REPLACE(TRANSLATE(v.[Text], @pattern, REPLICATE('a', LEN(@pattern))), 'a', ''),
         REPLICATE('0', LEN(REPLACE(TRANSLATE(v.[Text], @pattern, REPLICATE('a', LEN(@pattern))), 'a', '')))
      ),
      '0',
      ''
   ) AS AlphabeticCharacters
FROM (VALUES
   ('abc1234def5678ghi90jkl#@$&'),
   ('1234567890'),
   ('JAHDBESBN%*#*@*($E*sd55bn')
) v ([Text])

或作为一个函数:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RemoveNonAlphabeticCharacters (@Text varchar(1000)) 
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS BEGIN

   DECLARE @pattern varchar(52) = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
   SET @text = REPLACE(
      TRANSLATE(
         @Text,
         REPLACE(TRANSLATE(@Text, @pattern, REPLICATE('a', LEN(@pattern))), 'a', ''),
         REPLICATE('0', LEN(REPLACE(TRANSLATE(@Text, @pattern, REPLICATE('a', LEN(@pattern))), 'a', '')))
      ),
      '0',
      ''
   )
   
   RETURN @Text
END

SQL Server >= 2017…

declare @text varchar(max)

-- create some sample text
select
@text=
'
Lorem @ipsum  *&dolor-= sit?! amet, {consectetur } adipiscing\ elit. Vivamus commodo justo metus, sed facilisis ante 
congue eget. Proin ac bibendum sem/.
'

-- the characters to be removed
declare @unwanted varchar(max)='''.,!?/<>"[]{}|`~@#$%^&*()-+=/\:;'+char(13)+char(10)

-- interim replaced with
declare @replace_with char(1)=' '

-- call the translate function that will change unwanted characters to spaces
-- in this sample
declare @translated varchar(max)
select @translated=TRANSLATE(@text,@unwanted,REPLICATE(@replace_with,len(@unwanted)))

-- In this case, I want to preserve one space
select  string_agg(trim(value),' ')
from    STRING_SPLIT(@translated,' ')
where   trim(value)<>''

-- Result
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit Vivamus commodo justo metus sed facilisis ante congue eget Proin ac bibendum sem'
