I want to query for all names that don't have alphabetic characters,
spaces, periods, or apostrophes ....

Example:

INSUREDS_NAME

JOHN J. O'CONNOR

[code:1:f476d5952d] AND TRANSLATE(D.INSUREDS_NAME,
'',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ .')

By doing a little experimenting, looks like I found the solution:

[code:1:bd80123aa4]AND TRANSLATE(D.INSUREDS_NAME,
'',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ .''')
