SQL Repeating Character String

Question

Is there a way to evaluate a field if it has repeating values in a cell. For example if someone holds down a number key and it returns some variation of \'00000\' or \'222222222

Answer 1

As you are only interested in complete repeatings, such as '3333' and not in, say, '43333', this is rather simple: Find strings longer than one character, where you end up with an empty string when you remove all characters that equal the first one:

select *
from mytable 
where len(value) > 1 and len(replace(value, left(value,1), '')) = 0
