- Line 1610: Update the expected error for the invalid `REGEXP_LIKE`
`MATCHPARAM` option `z` to match the validation error emitted by the
corresponding SQL test; do not record the later `ora_parse_re_flags` parser
error.

Built the head (c8c12c3) on master and ran make oracle-check in contrib/ivorysql_ora: 30 of 31, the failure is this PR's own new rows.

select regexp_like('X'||chr(10), 'X.');         expected f, got t
select regexp_like('X'||chr(10), 'X.', 'n');    expected t, got f
select regexp_like('X'||chr(10), 'X.', 'c');    expected f, got t

Oracle 21c agrees with the expected column (f, t, f), so the expectations are right and the build is wrong. The reason is not in the lines you changed.

The rows never reach ora_regexp_like. Since PostgreSQL 15 there is a core pg_catalog.regexp_like(text, text [, text]), and sys.regexp_like is declared over varchar2. 'X'||chr(10) is text, so resolution picks the core function, an exact match, before the extension's, whatever the search path says:

explain (verbose, costs off) select regexp_like('X'||chr(10), 'X.', 'n');
  Output: false                                    -- pg_catalog.regexp_like, folded
explain (verbose, costs off) select regexp_like(t, 'X.', 'n') from rl_probe;   -- t text
  Output: regexp_like(t, 'X.'::text, 'n'::text)    -- pg_catalog
explain (verbose, costs off) select regexp_like(v, 'X.', 'n') from rl_probe;   -- v varchar2(20)
  Output: regexp_like(v, 'X.'::varchar2, 'n'::varchar2)   -- sys

Core's regexp_like parses the flags with PostgreSQL's parse_re_flags, where n means REG_NEWLINE and the default lets . match a newline: the exact inverse of Oracle, and exactly the t, f, t the suite printed. The same applies to the 'z' row: the message in the results is core's "invalid regular expression option", not the one this PR raises.

So the C change fixes sys.regexp_like for varchar2 arguments, which is real and welcome, and leaves every call with a text, clob or expression argument on the PostgreSQL semantics. The complete fix needs the declaration side too: a sys.regexp_like(text, text) and (text, text, text) that reach the same C function, the way regexp_count has its text forms. One caution from a defect I hit last week in those very wrappers: do not route them through a bare ::varchar2 cast, which means varchar2(4000) and truncates longer input; cast to the base type sys.oravarcharchar, or declare the C function over text directly.

Two smaller things from the same run:

• The regexp_substr('X'||chr(10), 'X.', 1, 1, 'n') row: the expected file shows the result as X followed by an empty line, but psql prints a value containing a newline as X + with the continuation marker, so this row fails even once the rest is right. Worth regenerating the expected file from an actual run.
• Since the description says there was no local cluster: make oracle-check needs only the build tree, no installed server, and it would have shown all of this before the push. CI on fork PRs waits for a maintainer here, so it will not catch it either.

Please add a varchar2 column case and a text column case to the test, so both resolution paths are covered, and re-record the expected file from pg_regress. Happy to re-run on the next push.
