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

Here's a solution that doesn't require creating a function or listing all instances of characters to replace. It uses a recursive WITH statement in combination with a PATINDEX to find unwanted chars. It will replace all unwanted chars in a column - up to 100 unique bad characters contained in any given string. (E.G. "ABC123DEF234" would contain 4 bad characters 1, 2, 3 and 4) The 100 limit is the maximum number of recursions allowed in a WITH statement, but this doesn't impose a limit on the number of rows to process, which is only limited by the memory available. If you don't want DISTINCT results, you can remove the two options from the code.

-- Create some test data:
SELECT * INTO #testData 
FROM (VALUES ('ABC DEF,K.l(p)'),('123H,J,234'),('ABCD EFG')) as t(TXT)

-- Actual query:
-- Remove non-alpha chars: '%[^A-Z]%'
-- Remove non-alphanumeric chars: '%[^A-Z0-9]%'
DECLARE @BadCharacterPattern VARCHAR(250) = '%[^A-Z]%';

WITH recurMain as (
    SELECT DISTINCT CAST(TXT AS VARCHAR(250)) AS TXT, PATINDEX(@BadCharacterPattern, TXT) AS BadCharIndex
    FROM #testData
    UNION ALL
    SELECT CAST(TXT AS VARCHAR(250)) AS TXT, PATINDEX(@BadCharacterPattern, TXT) AS BadCharIndex
    FROM (
        SELECT 
            CASE WHEN BadCharIndex > 0 
                THEN REPLACE(TXT, SUBSTRING(TXT, BadCharIndex, 1), '')
                ELSE TXT 
            END AS TXT
        FROM recurMain
        WHERE BadCharIndex > 0
    ) badCharFinder
)
SELECT DISTINCT TXT
FROM recurMain
WHERE BadCharIndex = 0;

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)

结果:

| Id |              str |              a |
|----|------------------|----------------|
|  1 |    test“te d'abc |     testtedabc |

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'

乔治·马斯特罗斯精彩回答的参数化版本:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_StripCharacters]
(
    @String NVARCHAR(MAX), 
    @MatchExpression VARCHAR(255)
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
    SET @MatchExpression =  '%['+@MatchExpression+']%'
    
    WHILE PatIndex(@MatchExpression, @String) > 0
        SET @String = Stuff(@String, PatIndex(@MatchExpression, @String), 1, '')
    
    RETURN @String
    
END

字母只有:

SELECT dbo.fn_StripCharacters('a1!s2@d3#f4$', '^a-z')

数字只有:

SELECT dbo.fn_StripCharacters('a1!s2@d3#f4$', '^0-9')

字母数字只有:

SELECT dbo.fn_StripCharacters('a1!s2@d3#f4$', '^a-z0-9')

非字母数字：

SELECT dbo.fn_StripCharacters('a1!s2@d3#f4$', 'a-z0-9')

试试这个函数:

Create Function [dbo].[RemoveNonAlphaCharacters](@Temp VarChar(1000))
Returns VarChar(1000)
AS
Begin

    Declare @KeepValues as varchar(50)
    Set @KeepValues = '%[^a-z]%'
    While PatIndex(@KeepValues, @Temp) > 0
        Set @Temp = Stuff(@Temp, PatIndex(@KeepValues, @Temp), 1, '')

    Return @Temp
End

这样叫它:

Select dbo.RemoveNonAlphaCharacters('abc1234def5678ghi90jkl')

一旦您理解了代码，您就会发现更改它以删除其他字符也相对简单。您甚至可以使此动态到足以传入您的搜索模式。
