Обсуждение: Reverse pattern match.

I want to create a table of  regular expression patterns (for assessing
phone numbers), something like:
CREATE TABLE CallType ( pattern varchar primary key,                       type    varchar,                       rate
 int4);
 
INSERT INTO CallType VALUES ('0[3-9]________','Interstate Call',50);
INSERT INTO CallType VALUES ('9_______','Local Call',25);
INSERT INTO CallType VALUES ('0011__________%','International Call',100);

Then determine call types, based on a match, something like:


PhoneNumber := '99116633';
SELECT type, rate FROM CallType where pattern LIKE PhoneNumber;

(Sorry about the pseudo-code), but you get the gist. The query returns a
calltype description and a call rate based on the comparison of the actual
phone-number to a table of RE patterns.

I can't get my head around a way to do this, can anyone help?

SELECT type, rate FROM CallType WHERE PhoneNumber ~ pattern;

PostgreSQL supports real Regular Expressions, via the ~ operator.   See "~"
under "functions and operators", and then consult your favorite book or
online ressouce on how to compose regexps.

An example of "is not in 415 area code" would be
phone_no ~ '^415\d{7}'
which should be "415" at the beginning followed by at least 7 other digits.

(Folks, please correct my regex code if it's bad!)

The disadvantage to this approach is that it cannot be indexed.

Many thanks... got it now.

Example...

sox=# select * from regexpatt;pattern |            description
---------+------------------------------------^b      | starts with a B^a      | starts with an A^c.*l$   | starts with
aC and ends with an L
 
(3 rows)

sox=# select description from regexpatt where 'bravo' ~ pattern; description
----------------starts with a B
(1 row)

sox=# select description from regexpatt where 'caramel' ~ pattern;           description
------------------------------------starts with a C and ends with an L
(1 row)

I'mm trying to debug something inside my PLSQL routine. How do I print 
out error messages from inside my function?

Thanks,

RAISE NOTICE ''Foobar is %'', foobar;

Where "foobar" is a variable. The documentation mentions this in several
places and examples.
