To add a character after every alphanumeric sequence using REGEXP_REPLACE, we can use a regular expression pattern that matches any alphanumeric sequence and replace it with the same sequence followed by the desired character. Here is an example SQL statement that adds a underscore character after every alphanumeric sequence:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('abc123def456', '([[:alnum:]]+)', '\1_')
Output:
abc_123def_456
In this example, the regular expression pattern ([[:alnum:]]+)
matches any sequence of one or more alphanumeric characters. The replacement string \1_
replaces the matched sequence with itself followed by an underscore character. The \1
is a backreference that refers to the matched sequence in the pattern.
