Serge Rielau updated SPARK-42919:
---------------------------------
Description:
SparkSQL supports *regex_column_names.*
[https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select.html]
However, support depends on a config: spark.sql.parser.quotedRegexColumnNames
The reason is that it overloads proper identifier names.
Here we propose a cleaner, compatible API:
SELECT * LIKE 'pattern' ...
The semantic should follow common regular expression patterns used for the LIKE
operator with the caveat that it should obey identifier case insensitivity
setting.
