Sven,
This is a good workarround. It's weird why the IN operator is not working for Postgres but as Steve wrote, a ticket will be opened.

 Hi Steve and Carlos,

thanks for your support. 

When I understand it correctly, I can not use the IN operator in conjunction with queryByAttributes in Mapserver 7 (mapscript) ?
I use this function so far for the transfer of different IDs (whether integer or string) to read out a subset of POSTGIS tables.
I have now tried the following and it works:

$qstring = "([gid] = '1' || [gid] = '2' || [gid] = '4' || [gid] = '11')";
$query_layer->queryByAttributes("gid",$qstring,MS_MULTIPLE);

Maybe it is possible to get the IN operator back in the future?

Sven

Ugh, my bad. At least with the LIKE operator it’s because MapServer doesn’t support it. Using a regex should work depending on your back-end. Which reminds me, which backend are you using? I need to investigate the IN operator. It maybe that I can come up with a work around for Sven using the native SQL that worked previously since that can still be set as a processing option. Will report back…

I have tried this and it doesn't work. There's a query error because Mapserver try to add the following: and ("gid"'100,101')

I have tried this and it doesn't work. There's a query error because Mapserver try to add the following: and ("municipio"::text'G%')

Maybe this happens because the MS4W version (3.1.3) with Mapserver CGI 7.0.1

The query syntax is given in MapServer expression syntax. I think there’s a logical expression for why you’re seeing these results:
 
  queryByAttributes("gid", "gid > 100", MS_MULTIPLE) // does not found anything
 
is evaluated as gid = “gid > 100”. Valid but not what you’re looking for. Your last example is the right way to do it - queryByAttributes("gid", "([gid] > 100)", MS_MULTIPLE);. If MapServer sees the qstring is a logical expression then it ignores the qitem.
  queryByAttributes("gid", "100", MS_MULTIPLE) // found one result
 
is evaluated as gid = 100 which makes sense.
 
  queryByAttributes("municipio", "'GUADALAJARA'", MS_MULTIPLE) // found one result
 
is evaluated as municipio = GUADALAJARA which makes sense. I don’t think you need the interior quotes around GUADALAJARA though.
 
  queryByAttributes("municipio", "municipio LIKE 'G%'", MS_MULTIPLE) // does not found anything
 
like the first example this evaluates as municipio = "municipio LIKE 'G%'", not what you want. See below…
 
  queryByAttributes("gid", "([gid] IN (100, 101))", MS_MULTIPLE); // query error
 
the IN operator works off a delimited list, try queryByAttributes("gid", "([gid] IN ‘100,101’)", MS_MULTIPLE);. Any whitespace is considered part of the tokens in a list.
 
  queryByAttributes("municipio", "([municipio] LIKE 'G%')", MS_MULTIPLE); // query error
 
This is close, it’s a logical expression but you’re comparing a number against a string. It should be queryByAttributes("municipio", "(‘[municipio]’ LIKE 'G%')", MS_MULTIPLE);

Sven,
 
Doing some tests, queryByAttributes does not accept LIKE nor IN, just single values or simple operators (I am using PostGIS).
 
queryByAttributes("gid", "gid > 100", MS_MULTIPLE) // does not found anything
queryByAttributes("gid", "100", MS_MULTIPLE) // found one result
queryByAttributes("municipio", "'GUADALAJARA'", MS_MULTIPLE) // found one result
queryByAttributes("municipio", "municipio LIKE 'G%'", MS_MULTIPLE) // does not found anything
queryByAttributes("gid", "([gid] IN (100, 101))", MS_MULTIPLE); // query error
queryByAttributes("municipio", "([municipio] LIKE 'G%')", MS_MULTIPLE); // query error
queryByAttributes("gid", "([gid] > 100)", MS_MULTIPLE); // found 25 results
 
MS4W version is 3.1.3
 
Try to solve it by using FILTER, which allows more complex expressions:
 
$layer->setFilter("gid IN (100, 101)");
 
 
Cheers

Hi,
 
Old Server: PHP 5.4.36 with MS 6.4.1 (MS4W)
New Server: PHP 5.6.31 with MS 7.0.6 (MS4W 3.2.2)
 
My Test Script:
 
$qfield = 'gid';
$qstring = "gid IN (1,2,3)";
@$datQuery = $query_layer->queryByAttributes($qfield,$qstring,MS_MULTIPLE);
 
Works fine on the old Server, on the new Server no result.
 
I have tried to change the query expression, i.e.:
$qstring = "('[gid]' in '1,2,3')";
 
No result on old server and new...
 
How can I get it run on MS7?
 
 
 
Thanks + greetings 
Sven
