Hi,
You can use regexp.

for e.g.,

Code
  1. SELECT to_number(regexp_replace(hello123,[[:alpha:]],)) FROM dual;


Output:

--------------

123

Code
  1. SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE UPPER(COLUMN_NAME)=LOWER(COLUMN_NAME);
Above query will give numeric values only. Matching is done on the basis of ASCII characters. So, in case of alphanumeric values, both upper and lower ASCII values will be different while in case of numeric values, it will match.
