**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** DataFusion supports the `LIKE` operator which has a limited form of regular expression matching It also supports `regexp_match` which adds support to extract matched strings (kudos to @seddonm1 !) However, it doesn't expose any way to do full on posix style regular expression matching, such as `~` as described in the postgres manual: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/functions-matching.html **Describe the solution you'd like** Support syntax such as the following: ```sql select * from foo where column ~ 'a.*b'; ``` **Describe alternatives you've considered** N/A **Additional context** @atingchen asked about this downstream in IOx: https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/issues/2137 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
