Hi,
We're running PostgreSQL v8.2.3 on RHEL5.
In some places in our application, we use Regular Expression Match Operator
(~* => Matches regular expression, case insensitive) inside WHERE criteria.
Example:
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE (SKILLS ~*
'(^|\\^|\\||[^0-9|^a-z|^A-Z]|$)C#(^|\\^|\\||[^0-9|^a-z|^A-Z]|$)'
OR SKILLS ~*
'(^|\\^|\\||[^0-9|^a-z|^A-Z]|$).NET(^|\\^|\\||[^0-9|^a-z|^A-Z]|$)')
In this case, we're trying to search/match for either "C#" OR ".NET" in
SKILLS column.
My question here is, do I need to escape the characters "#" and "." here?
Regards,
Gnanam
