  • regular expression syntax

    #1
    I'd like to run a query that uses this regular expression:

    /[^a-zA-Z-\. ',]+/

    select w from a where w REGEXP '/[^a-zA-Z-\. \',]+/'

    but get this error?

    invalid character range

    The subtraction sign _after_ the Z is probably your problem.

    A subtraction sign in that context says a range e.g a-z, A-Z, 0-9 etc.
    But you have a subtraction sign between Z and \. and I'm guessing that is the problem since that is a range that doesn't make sense.
