Hi folks,


I'm looking for some way to find broken regex'es in some column
to kick them off. For now I'm regularily fetching all regexes
from an PHP script, try an preg_match() and so find the broken
ones to later remove them.

Is there any way to do this directly within the db ?

IIRC, if they're PERL compatible which it would seem from the php function you're using, no. Postgres supports POSIX regexes but not (right now anyway) PERL regexes.
