You can do something like this

no number(10) ;
begin

no := to_number(substr(character_with_pattern, length(character_with_pattern),1);

if the control comes here it is a number -- flag it -- exception when value_error then do not flag it; -- end;

Is there any way to do pattern matching in a PL/SQL trigger? In other words,
if I had two strings and one ended with a character (ie. "g") and one ended with a number, is there a way to search for it so that it would flag if it is
only a number?
