# `IsNumeric` (function) > 判断是否是数字(相当于sql Server中 IsNumeric函数) - **Type:** FUNCTION - **Returns:** `int` - **Deterministic:** NO - **SQL data access:** CONTAINS SQL ## Parameters | # | Mode | Name | Type | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | IN | `str` | `varchar(25)` | ## Body _Body is not pre-cached. To inspect: `mysql --defaults-file=~/.my.cnf -e 'SHOW CREATE FUNCTION `IsNumeric`'`._ ## Narrative **Business context:** SQL-Server `IsNumeric` polyfill — returns `1` when `str` is a (signed) numeric literal, `0` otherwise. Used as a guard before casting user-entered specs/qty strings to numbers; the unit-conversion family (`Fun_GetAuxiliaryQtyUnit`, `Fun_GetMaterialsQtyUnit`, `Fun_GetMaterialsQtyUnitSupple`, `Fun_GetReelAuxiliaryQtyUnit`, `Fun_GetProcessAuxiliaryQty`) calls it before doing arithmetic on free-form `sName`-style label fields. **What it does:** returns `0` for `NULL` or empty input. Otherwise tests `str REGEXP '-?[1-9]d*$'` and `str REGEXP '-?[0-9]+(.[0-9]{1,3})?$'`; returns `1` if either matches. Note: both regexes are subtly wrong — `d` and `.` are unescaped (MySQL `REGEXP` interprets `d` as the literal char and `.` as any char), so the first regex actually accepts strings ending in a digit-followed-by-`d` runs, and the second accepts any digit run with up to 3 trailing characters. In practice the second pattern is loose enough that genuine numeric strings still get a `1`, which is why callers haven't noticed. **Invocation:** referenced by 30+ routines — the entire `Fun_Get*QtyUnit*` family, `Sp_BillOfApply`/`ApplyLine`/`NoPicking`/`NoPicking_Cljg`, `Sp_GetMachineByApsRule`, `sp_GetMaterialsQtyUnit`, `Sp_Manufacture_InsertWorkOrder`, `Sp_Manufacture_sSodPurchareMaterials`, `Sp_Manufacture_sWodPurchareMaterials_copy1`, `Sp_MaterialsStoreVirtual`, `Sp_Quotation__CalcDataPackLastStd`. Canonical "is this string a number?" guard for the BOM/cost build chain. Caveat (regex escaping): see body note above — flag for maintainer audit.
