REPLACE(TRANSLAT
----------------
abcdefghijklabcd
First, the numbers are translated into spaces, then the spaces are cleaned up, leaving the string
without numbers.

Subject: Remove numbers from string
Is there any way to remove all numbers from a string?
The string might look like this: 'abc123def432'
and I wan't it to look like this: 'abcdef'.
I'm using Oracle 8.
Thanks in advance!
