Syntax:
expr REGEXP pat, expr RLIKE pat

Performs a pattern match of a string expression expr against a pattern
pat. The pattern can be an extended regular expression. The syntax for
regular expressions is discussed in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/regexp.html. Returns 1 if expr
matches pat; otherwise it returns 0. If either expr or pat is NULL, the
result is NULL. RLIKE is a synonym for REGEXP, provided for mSQL
compatibility.

The pattern need not be a literal string. For example, it can be
specified as a string expression or table column.

*Note*: Because MySQL uses the C escape syntax in strings (for example,
"\n" to represent the newline character), you must double any "\" that
you use in your REGEXP strings.

REGEXP is not case sensitive, except when used with binary strings.
