?

Separates alternatives
{n,m}
String must occur at least n times, but not more than m times
{n}
String must occur exactly n times
{n,}

[[:<:]]
Matches beginning of words
[[:>:]]
Matches ending of words
[:class:]
match a character class i.e.,
[:alpha:] for letters
[:space:] for whitespace
[:punct:] for punctuation
[:upper:] for upper case letters
Extras
MySQL interprets a backslash (\) character as an escape character. To use a backslash in a regular expression, you must escape it with another backslash (\\).
Whether the Regular Expression match is case sensitive or otherwise is decided by the collation method of the table. If your collation method name ends with ci then the comparison/match is case-insensitive, else if it end in cs then the match is case sensitive.
