Something like this???

DECLARE

   --x                             VARCHAR2 (128) := 'abcdefg';
   x                             VARCHAR2 (128) := 'abcdefg123';

BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE (1000000);
IF SUBSTR (x, LENGTH (x) - 1, 1) IN

                                   ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8',

'9', '0')

   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Ends in a number... ');    ELSE
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Ends in a letter... ');    END IF;
END; -----Original Message-----

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?
