I have written the code as

declare @phone varchar(10)
set @phone='01234567891'
if @phone like '%[^0-9{1,9}]%'
print 'Y'
else 
print 'N'

where i want to allowed only value in range of 1 to 9 as per the wildcard but its not working why?

SQL

declare @vchar varchar(50)
set @vchar ='0124667891';
select case when @vchar not like '%[^0-9]%' then 'Number' else 'Not a Number' end
