How to Validate Email Address Using PL/SQL?

By

Here I am giving an example to validate email address using PL/SQL regular expressions (REGEXP) in Oracle.

Validate Email Using PL/SQL Program

In the following PL/SQL program, it will validate the email address using the REGEXP_LIKE function.

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;

DECLARE
   b_isvalid   BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
   b_isvalid :=
      REGEXP_LIKE ('[email protected]',
                   '^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-][email protected][A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$');

   IF b_isvalid
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('It is a valid email address.');
   ELSE
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('It is Not a valid email address.');
   END IF;
END;
/

Output

It is a valid email address.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Get the List of Invalid Email Addresses from a Table Using SQL

The following SQL query will retrieve all the invalid email addresses stored in the EMAIL column of EMPLOYEES table in Oracle.

SELECT *
  FROM EMPLOYEES
 WHERE NOT REGEXP_LIKE (email,
                        '^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-][email protected][A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$');

Similarly, to get the list of valid email addresses, delete NOT from the above query.
