Hi!
Is it possible to use regular expressions in a select statement.
for example select * from test where name="a*b"

I don't think you can do that way. Using the like operator, one can
do some pattern matching in Derby.
For Example:
create table t2(name char(30) ) ;
insert into t2 values('ab') ;
insert into t2 values('acccb') ;
insert into t2 values('acccc') ;
To retrive the name starting with 'a' and ending with 'b'
ij> select * from t2 where names like 'a%b%' ;
NAMES
------------------------------
ab
acccb
you can find more info about like operator in the following doc:
