Can you use rlike to join a table using regular expressions contained in a field?
i.e. Select a., b. from Table a inner join Table2 b on a.Field rlike b.Field2
i.e. Table 2 data: Field1 Field2 David ^D(a|o)vid Test a ^Test
Just worked out that I can do this.
select a., b. from Table1 a, Table2 b where b.Field1 rlike a.Field2
