Validate US ZIP code format in a SQL Server addresses table using LIKE pattern matching in T-SQL. The regex pattern is used with mssql's REGEXP operator to filter rows at the database level.

Using regex directly in SQL is efficient for use cases like data validation โ€” it avoids loading data into application memory just to filter it with a regex.
