I am pulling unstructured data from a source and I am trying to put in structured from in DB. To minimize the amount of overhead by bombarding my server with multiple queries, i was wondering if there is a way to do a complex query that:
Searches a string for a regex pattern say A[0-9]G+
and add a new row in another table where row.column = found column from regex
MySQL has an INSERT-SELECT statement that lets you combined a selection (as complex as you want, including regex) with an insertion into a table of whatever was selected.
