LIKE is going to be a pile of work. I think your LOCALE_MATCHES
function will have to duplicate a lot of the code in Derby. At the end
of the day, you will replace LIKE with LOCALE_MATCHES and so lose the
performance-enhancing query pre-processing which DERBY does for %.
Here the weeds have become too thick for me.
So are you saying the answer to the question:
"Is there some easy Java regular expression matching function like
String.matches(Collator collator, String pattern, String value)? "
is "No"
