Solution

To apply extended regular expression REGEXP operator is used with pattern matching characters. The caret (^) is used to start the match at the beginning of string. The [...] matches any character between the square bracket. The caret ($) is used to start the match at the end of string.

The following statement retrieves the name of students containing exactly four characters.

mysql> SELECT * FROM student where name REGEXP '^....$';

Output of the above statement -

+----+------+---------+------------+
| id | name | dept_id | birth      |
+----+------+---------+------------+
|  2 | John | 1       | 1993-02-07 |
|  5 | Rama | 1       | 1994-12-09 |
+----+------+---------+------------+
