Question

I want to get the data from a database table using a regular expression.This is what i did:

def getDataRegExp(term: String): Seq[User] ={
    DB.withConnection(
      implicit connection =>
        SQL("select * from user where pseudo ~ '^{term}'").on(
        'term -> term
        ).as(User.simple *)
    )
  }

But i get nothing in result.
What I’m doing wrong?

PS: I’m using PostgreSQL 9.1

Well I succeded in getting a result. It gives me all the user that contains the inserted term. I have just deleted ' and ^ that were surrounding {term}. Here is the code.

def getDataRegExp(term: String): Seq[User] ={
    DB.withConnection(
      implicit connection =>
        SQL("select * from user where pseudo ~ {term}").on(
        'term -> term
        ).as(User.simple *)
    )
  }
