Parentheses indicate an entire character string, and curly braces indicate how many times the character string
must appear in succession:
mysql>
mysql> SELECT 'xabcabcz' REGEXP '(abc){2}', 'xabcyabcz' REGEXP '(abc){2}';
+------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 'xabcabcz' REGEXP '(abc){2}' | 'xabcyabcz' REGEXP '(abc){2}' |
+------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 1 | 0 |
+------------------------------+-------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
