    Hi Folks,

    I would like to know how to do a hostname validation in aPL/SQL block. That is given a perticular hostname extracted from the email address, I would like to confirm that it is a valid hostname.

    Any ideas or thoughts would really be appreciated!

    Thanx

    Here is an example

    xyz@hotmail.com is the email address

    v_host := SUBSTR('xyz@hotmail.com',(INSTR('xyz@hotmail.com','@')+1));

    I would want to validate that this is a valide address before proceeding with other things...

    Shestakov,

    I really appreciate your help. But here my curiosity is to find out whether I could use any utl package to do the validation inside the block instead of going out of the PL/SQL block.

    Thanx
