which says I should be able to do a 'SIMILAR TO' construct which is perhaps
somewhat more lightweight than a full regexp.

Can someone show me what I'm doing wrong here.

letter = 'A[0-9]+'
q = self.session.query(Car).filter_by(hist=False) \
.filter(Car.lane.op('SIMILAR TO') (letter)) \
.order_by(Car.lane)

I'm trying to match something that looks like 'A100'. But it produces a syntax
error:

OperationalError: (OperationalError) near "SIMILAR": syntax error
...snip...
WHERE cars.hist = ? AND (cars.lane SIMILAR TO ?) ORDER BY cars.lane' (False,
'A[0-9]+')

Strange. I couldn't see what was actually wrong with that SQL, so I ran it directly against pg and it works fine. Is it possibly a quoting problem?
