Description

This is a list of REGEX strings to validate some common formatted identifiers.

It is not a comprehensive list, nor have I had the opportunity to transalte these into TSQL Functions, but hopefully they will provide a good starting point.

If anyone has any that are not mentioned, I'll gladly add them to the list
