Turns out there is a fairly simple solution, (thanks to Mirnal Kant)
In javascript:
//functions to be created for the db
var smDbFunctions = {
//for use as where col regexp string_for_re
// col goes as the second argument
regexp: {
onFunctionCall: function(val) {
var re = new RegExp(val.getString(0));
if (val.getString(1).match(re))
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
}
};
after instantiating a SQLite instance:
Database.createFunction("REGEXP", 2, smDbFunctions.regexp);
This does work, see Mirnal's SQLite Manager version 0.4.3 for proof of
concept.

Subject: [sqlite] Assigning REGEX from javascript
BACKGROUND:
Firefox includes SQLite version 3.5.9, it also allows extensions, which
are written in javascript and can call the embedded SQLite engine.
As expected, executing the following SQL statement 'SELECT "TEXT" REGEX
"T*";' gives an error, since there is no REGEX function included.
javascript includes a native regex function.
SQLite allows loadable extensions via SELECT load_extension('filename');
QUESTION:
Is it possible to load a javascript extension which could be registered
to do REGEX?
Regards,
Noah
