Question

I have a PostgreSQL query here that counts capitalized characters from a “word” table column:

sum(length(substring(word from '^[A-Z]*'))) as capitalized_sum;

I need to convert it to Oracle SQL query.

I tried:

sum(length(regexp_like('^[A-Z]*'))) from word as capitalized_sum;

but that gives me “SQL command not properly ended” message. Any help?

I think I found what I need. Here is the OracleSQL query:

select sum(length(REGEXP_SUBSTR(word, '^[A-Z]*'))) as capitalized_sum from mytable;
