I have a SQL query which returns some rows having the below format:
DB_host DB_host_instance
How can i filter to get rows which only have the format of ‘DB_host’ (place a condition to return values with only one occurrence of ‘_’)
i tried using [0-9a-zA-Z_0-9a-zA-Z], but seems like its not right. Please suggest.

One option would be using REGEXP_COUNT and at most one underscore is needed then use
WHERE REGEXP_COUNT( col, '_' ) <= 1
or strictly one underscore should exist then use
WHERE REGEXP_COUNT( col, '_' ) = 1
