Replace non-english characters function

TomeoDec 16 2013 — edited Dec 16 2013

Hi folks,

I have a text which includes non english characters. Is there any trick, how can I replace those characters with "closest" english character?

Examples:

"Hytölä"  to become "Hytola"

"Säynatsälo" to become "Säynatsälo"

etc ...

I was thinking about usage of REGEXP

select regexp_replace('Hytölä Säynatsälo ', '[^0-9A-Za-z]', '') from dual

but a pattern is not correct.

Any suggesitons?
