Terms in this definition
- LIKE
Compares strings with a pattern that can contain the % and _ wildcards. Because it only understands character patterns, searching big volumes of text this way is much slower than using full-text search.
- Exact data match
A custom kind of sensitive information type that looks up the real values held in a table your organisation supplies, such as a customer list, rather than matching a generic pattern. Data loss prevention can then flag only those precise records.
- Sensitive information type
Classifier based on patterns, such as credit card numbers, that policies and labels rely on to spot sensitive content. You can also define custom ones.
- MATCH
Used in WHERE when querying SQL Graph, it describes how to walk from node to node through edge tables, with patterns written like p1-(f1)->p2.
