To remove all characters except 'e' in Oracle, you can use the REGEXP_REPLACE function. Here is an example query:
1 2 |
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('Hello world!', '[^e]', '') AS result FROM dual; |
In this query, the REGEXP_REPLACE function is used to replace all characters that are not 'e' with an empty string. The '[^e]' pattern matches any character except 'e'. So, when you run this query, the result will be 'e'.

What is the safest method to remove all characters except 'e' from a text value in Oracle?
One safe method to remove all characters except 'e' from a text value in Oracle is to use a combination of functions such as REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_LIKE.
Here is an example query:
1 2 3 |
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(your_column, '[^e]', '') as filtered_text FROM your_table WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(your_column, 'e'); |
In this query:
- your_column is the column containing the text value you want to filter
- your_table is the name of the table containing the column
- REGEXP_REPLACE(your_column, '[^e]', '') removes all characters except 'e' from the text value
- REGEXP_LIKE(your_column, 'e') filters out rows that do not contain the character 'e' in the text value
This method ensures that only the desired characters are kept in the text value.
How do I remove all characters except 'e' using regular expressions in Oracle?
You can use the following regular expression in Oracle to remove all characters except 'e':
1
|
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('Your input string', '[^e]', '') FROM dual;
|
This query will replace all characters that are not 'e' with an empty string, effectively removing them from the input string. Just replace 'Your input string' with the actual string you want to process.
How do I eliminate all characters other than 'e' from a string in Oracle?
One way to eliminate all characters other than 'e' from a string in Oracle is to use the REGEXP_REPLACE function. Here is an example SQL query that demonstrates how to achieve this:
1 2 |
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('Hello, there!', '[^e]', '') AS only_e_characters FROM dual; |
In this query, the REGEXP_REPLACE function is used to replace all characters that are not 'e' with an empty string (i.e., remove them) from the input string 'Hello, there!'. The result of this query will be the string 'e', as all characters other than 'e' have been eliminated.
You can replace the input string 'Hello, there!' with any other string that you want to remove non-'e' characters from.
