Regexp_replace....
Hi all,

I've got a question about how i can format data within Oracle queries as opposed to code. I have the following query

Code:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(NAME, '[^a-zA-Z0-9]', ' ')
FROM LIB.TABLE;


But I get an ORA-00904: Invalid column name error. I really can't figure out why this would be as there are plenty of examples on the web using REGEXP_REPLACE in a similar fashion. I'm using ORACLE 10g.

Thanks in advance!

I thought that as well but when I run.

Code:
SELECT NAME
FROM LIB.TABLE


I get 1000 names returned.

EDIT: I apologize I just found out our test server is 10g, but our production server is 8i...don't ask me why.
