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')

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

如果您像我一样，不能仅向生产数据添加函数，但仍然想执行这种过滤，那么这里有一个纯SQL解决方案，使用PIVOT表将过滤后的部分重新组合在一起。

注意:我硬编码表高达40个字符，如果你有更长的字符串要过滤，你将不得不添加更多。

SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF;

with 
    ToBeScrubbed
as (
    select 1 as id, '*SOME 222@ !@* #* BOGUS !@*&! DATA' as ColumnToScrub
),

Scrubbed as (
    select 
        P.Number as ValueOrder,
        isnull ( substring ( t.ColumnToScrub , number , 1 ) , '' ) as ScrubbedValue,
        t.id
    from
        ToBeScrubbed t
        left join master..spt_values P
            on P.number between 1 and len(t.ColumnToScrub)
            and type ='P'
    where
        PatIndex('%[^a-z]%', substring(t.ColumnToScrub,P.number,1) ) = 0
)

SELECT
    id, 
    [1]+ [2]+ [3]+ [4]+ [5]+ [6]+ [7]+ [8] +[9] +[10]
    +  [11]+ [12]+ [13]+ [14]+ [15]+ [16]+ [17]+ [18] +[19] +[20]
    +  [21]+ [22]+ [23]+ [24]+ [25]+ [26]+ [27]+ [28] +[29] +[30]
    +  [31]+ [32]+ [33]+ [34]+ [35]+ [36]+ [37]+ [38] +[39] +[40] as ScrubbedData
FROM (
    select 
        *
    from 
        Scrubbed
    ) 
    src
    PIVOT (
        MAX(ScrubbedValue) FOR ValueOrder IN (
        [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10],
        [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20],
        [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30],
        [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40]
        )
    ) pvt

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。

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'

--Let the magic begin:
;WITH recurse AS (
    select
    OriginalString,
    OriginalString as CleanString,
    patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN, OriginalString) as [Position],
    substring(OriginalString,patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN, OriginalString),1) as [InvalidCharacter],
    ascii(substring(OriginalString,patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN, OriginalString),1)) as [ASCIICode]
    from @temp
   UNION ALL
    select
    OriginalString,
    CONVERT(varchar(100),REPLACE(CleanString,InvalidCharacter,@ReplaceBadCharWith)),
    patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN,CleanString) as [Position],
    substring(CleanString,patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN,CleanString),1),
    ascii(substring(CleanString,patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN,CleanString),1))
    from recurse
    where patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN,CleanString) > 0
)
SELECT * FROM recurse
--optionally comment out this last WHERE clause to see more of what the recursion is doing:
WHERE patindex(@DefineBadCharPattern COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN,CleanString) = 0

我把它放在调用PatIndex的两个地方。

PatIndex('%[^A-Za-z0-9]%', @Temp)

为上面的自定义函数RemoveNonAlphaCharacters并重命名为RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters
