title: Why can't I use regex in Sybase SQL
body: <p>I am using this version of Sybase - </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.5/EBF 18164 SMP ESD#2/P/x86_64/Enterprise Linux.</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When I try to run the below query I get an error saying <code>Incorrect syntax near 'regexp'</code>. </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE C1 regexp '.*'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone suggest an alternative if this is not supported in this version of ASE.</p>
