Julian Hyde commented on PHOENIX-2646:
--------------------------------------
No quarrel with their user-defined types and functions (most databases now have
those) but with their syntax (e.g. their "::" operator as a kind of cast, and
allowing user-defined operators).
> Extend VARCHAR matching with ~ regex syntax

> We already support {{REGEXP}} functions for string manipulation. 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].
