MySQL / Regexp：部分正则表达式匹配

Question

I have a bunch of regular expressions in a MySQL table. I want to know whether a given string matches a part of any regular expression or not.

Eg:

+----+--------------------------------+
| id | regexps                        |
+----+--------------------------------+
| 1  | foo-[0-9]*\.example\.com       |
| 2  | (bar|tux)-[0-9]*\.example\.com |
+----+--------------------------------+

(The regexps attribute is of VARCHAR type)

foo-11.example.com matches the first regexp.

I want a MySQL query that returns the first row with the given string as foo-11

Answer 1

This should do it on MySql:

select * from table t where 'foo-11.example.com' rlike t.data;

There are other ways in PostGreSQL. Here's the link from where I have referenced this:

1. http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mysql/mysql-regexps.htm
2. Match a Query to a Regular Expression in SQL?

PS: Using * is tricky though!
