[mapserver-users] Regular Expressions with PostGIS

[Mike Saunt]

Hi All

We have an application that calls MapServer CGI from C# which creates
regular expressions for qitem (itemnquery etc) - basically when calling a
shape file all is good but not with PostGIS

uniqueid~'(a|A)(b|B)(c|C)123' = good for postgis

[uniqueid]=~/(a|A)(b|B)(c|C)123/ = bad for postgis (good for mapserver)

Does anyone know a way around - the calling app doesn't necessarily know
whether the base layer is PostGIS or OGR or Shape etc

Cheers
Mike
