Question

This query creates a mysql view that captures bad email address formats in one table. So if a row is inserted in that has rtrrg.com as a email it will be recorded in the view. My question is, how do I make the view track more than one table. A second table.

The SQL

CREATE VIEW `invalid_emails` AS 
  select `table_with_email_column`.`email` AS `invalidemail` 
    from `table_with_email_column` 
   where ((locate(_latin1'', ltrim(rtrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`))) <> 0) 
      or (left(ltrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`), 1) = _latin1'@') 
      or (right(rtrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`), 1) = _latin1'.') 
      or ((locate(_latin1'.', `table_with_email_column`.`email`,locate(_latin1'@', `table_with_email_column`.`email`)) -  locate(_latin1'@', `table_with_email_column`.`email`)) <= 1) 
      or ((length(ltrim(rtrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`))) -  length(replace(ltrim(rtrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`)), _latin1'@', _latin1''))) <> 1) 
      or (locate(_latin1'.', reverse(ltrim(rtrim(`table_with_email_column`.`email`)))) < 3) 
      or (locate(_latin1'.@', `table_with_email_column`.`email`) <> 0) 
      or (locate(_latin1'..', `table_with_email_column`.`email`) <> 0));

You can use a pure SELECT to validate Email Addresses:

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email` NOT REGEXP '^[^@]+@[^@]+\.[^@]{2,}$';

And now for your question of tracking multiple tables, you can use comma seperated table names right?

SELECT * FROM `users`, `customers`, `clients`
         WHERE `email` NOT REGEXP "^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~]*?[a-zA-Z0-9._-]?@[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]?\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,63}$";
