Oracle10g Regular Expression

Oracle database 10g added a new feature "Regular Expression" enhancement that can be used with SQL and PL/SQL statements.

There are four regular expression functions :-

REGEXP_LIKE
REGEXP_SUBSTR
REGEXP_INSTR
REGEXP_REPLACE

The functions REGEXP_SUBSTR, REGEXP_INSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE basically extend the functionality of other well known string functions SUBSTR, INSTR and REPLACE.

REGEXP_LIKE is basically an operator that is similar to existing LIKE operator.
