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 ...

信不信由你，在我的系统中，这个丑陋的函数比G masters的优雅函数表现得更好。

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RemoveSpecialChar (@s VARCHAR(256)) 
RETURNS VARCHAR(256) 
WITH SCHEMABINDING
    BEGIN
        IF @s IS NULL
            RETURN NULL
        DECLARE @s2 VARCHAR(256) = '',
                @l INT = LEN(@s),
                @p INT = 1

        WHILE @p <= @l
            BEGIN
                DECLARE @c INT
                SET @c = ASCII(SUBSTRING(@s, @p, 1))
                IF @c BETWEEN 48 AND 57
                   OR  @c BETWEEN 65 AND 90
                   OR  @c BETWEEN 97 AND 122
                    SET @s2 = @s2 + CHAR(@c)
                SET @p = @p + 1
            END

        IF LEN(@s2) = 0
            RETURN NULL

        RETURN @s2

我知道SQL不擅长字符串操作，但我没想到它会这么难。下面是一个简单的函数，用于从字符串中剥离所有数字。当然还有更好的办法，但这只是个开始。

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.AlphaOnly (
    @String varchar(100)

AS BEGIN
  RETURN (

      REPLACE(
        REPLACE(
          REPLACE(
            REPLACE(
              REPLACE(
                REPLACE(
                  REPLACE(
                    REPLACE(
                      REPLACE(
                        @String,
                      '9', ''),
                    '8', ''),
                  '7', ''),
                '6', ''),
              '5', ''),
            '4', ''),
          '3', ''),
        '2', ''),
      '1', ''),
    '0', '')
  )

我对读者的挑战是:你能让这个过程更有效率吗?那么使用递归呢?

使用CTE生成的数字表来检查每个字符，然后FOR XML连接到一个保留值的字符串，您可以…

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[PatRemove](
    @pattern varchar(50),
    @expression varchar(8000) 
    )
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
    WITH 
        d(d) AS (SELECT d FROM (VALUES (0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) digits(d)),
        nums(n) AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM d d1, d d2, d d3, d d4),
        chars(c) AS (SELECT SUBSTRING(@expression, n, 1) FROM nums WHERE n <= LEN(@expression))
    SELECT 
        @expression = (SELECT c AS [text()] FROM chars WHERE c NOT LIKE @pattern FOR XML PATH(''));

    RETURN @expression;
