Hi,
I need to be able to get all the matches for a particular regexp from
a text field that I need to use in another query in a function. Is
this possible with plpgsql? Do I have to install the perl language?
Cheers
Anton

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster


yes. use "like" or "~"

see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions-matching.html

There is no need to use perl.
