  2. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    More generally, an equation E=F between regular-expression terms with variables holds if, and only if, its instantiation with different variables replaced by different symbol constants holds. [30] [31] Every regular expression can be written solely in terms of the Kleene star and set unions over finite words. This is a surprisingly difficult ...

  3. Wildcard character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_character

    In SQL, wildcard characters can be used in LIKE expressions; the percent sign % matches zero or more characters, and underscore _ a single character. Transact-SQL also supports square brackets ([and ]) to list sets and ranges of characters to match, a leading caret ^ negates the set and matches only a character not within the list.

  4. Metacharacter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacharacter

    A metacharacter is a character that has a special meaning to a computer program, such as a shell interpreter or a regular expression (regex) engine.. In POSIX extended regular expressions, there are 14 metacharacters that must be escaped — preceded by a backslash (\) — in order to drop their special meaning and be treated literally inside an expression: opening and closing square brackets ...

  5. List of SQL reserved words - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SQL_reserved_words

    This list includes SQL reserved words – aka SQL reserved keywords, [1] [2] as the SQL:2023 specifies and some RDBMSs have added.. The table lists reserved keywords (but also in some cases non-reserved keywords, without specifying if so specifically; some keywords have been reserved, like FIRST, LAST and ZONE in SQL-92, then later unreserved, some like NULLIF and CHAR_LENGTH were reserved in ...

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    Thus, to match "any amount of trailing characters", a new wildcard ___ is needed in contrast to _ that would match only a single character. In Haskell and functional programming languages in general, strings are represented as functional lists of characters. A functional list is defined as an empty list, or an element constructed on an existing ...

  7. Escape character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character

    The backslash (\) escape character typically provides two ways to include double-quotes inside a string literal, either by modifying the meaning of the double-quote character embedded in the string (\" becomes "), or by modifying the meaning of a sequence of characters including the hexadecimal value of a double-quote character (\x22 becomes ").

  8. Parsing expression grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar

    A parsing expression is a kind of pattern that each string may either match or not match.In case of a match, there is a unique prefix of the string (which may be the whole string, the empty string, or something in between) which has been consumed by the parsing expression; this prefix is what one would usually think of as having matched the expression.

  9. Valid time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valid_time

    The valid-time period is an interval based on event times, which are referred to as event datetime in data vault. [1] [2] Other names are application-time period [1] or real-world timeline. [1] SQL:2011 supports valid time through so-called application time-period tables.
