A nice synopsis of PCRE can be found in Wikipedia at these two URLs (English): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCRE and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regex#Perl-compatible_regular_expressions_.28PCRE.29

I am adding a comment in hopes of maybe prompting some followup, as two years have past with none...

Since PHP is the closest language to MySQL... It's interesting to know that the version 6.x no longer support Posix RE's. http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.regex.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php

I learned of a UDF library that implements PCRE, and thought that I would add the link here for others that may stumble across this bug report: http://www.mysqludf.org/lib_mysqludf_preg/ It would still be wonderful to have PCRE support native in MySQL, particularly in light of the recent comment about PHP6 dropping support for Posix style regular expressions.
