Pattern matching in SQL is performed using the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause. MATCH_RECOGNIZE enables you to do the following tasks: Logically partition and order the data that is used in the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause with its PARTITION BY and ORDER BY clauses. Define patterns of rows to seek using the PATTERN clause of the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause.

The LIKE conditions specify a test involving pattern matching. Whereas the equality operator (=) exactly matches one character value to another, the LIKE conditions match a portion of one character value to another by searching the first value for the pattern specified by the second.

Oracle 12c has added the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause into the analytic function syntax to make pattern matching from SQL simpler. This article gives a flavour of what can be done using the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause, but you will need to refer to the documentation to understand the true level of complexity possible.

With Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1), you can use the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause to perform pattern matching in SQL to do the following: Logically partition and order the data that is used in the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause with its PARTITION BY and ORDER BY clauses.

The modules give examples of row pattern matching (MATCH_RECOGNIZE) queries, starting with a coverage of the basics using stock ticker examples in module 1, then in the following modules giving a varied set of use cases for row pattern matching.
