Hello,
Is it possible to enforce data formatting in fields using something like
a regular expression?
varchar is great but does not stop someone putting in the wrong
reference number.
I suspect the answer is no, you have to do it at a higher level. What
aprroach would people suggest?
Perhaps another table with two fields - field_name and field_regex?
If you are using 5.x or greater, you can do some kinds of data validation with
a trigger.
