Description: Regular Expression Limits Do Not Work
Details:
I am writing a regex to verify US zipcodes. The expression is very simple,
in a trigger function it looks like this:
IF (NEW.postal_code_name !~ '\\d{5}')
THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'error';
END IF;
The bug description is:
If postal_code_name is > 5 digits, the expression would still evaluate to
false, and the error will not be raised.
Please correct this.
Thank you.
Kyrill
