James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2646: --------------------------------------- My preference would be to do any necessary work in our calcite branch and *not* make the syntax changes to Phoenix. We're aggressively moving toward getting the calcite branch to become the master branch - it'd be awesome if you could help us with that.

Let's add > full regex matching support as well. For example, Postgres has the {{~}} > operator for [POSIX regular expression > matching|http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-POSIX-REGEXP]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
