Ported regex support from django-mssql
As I needed regex support, I ported this over from django-mssql half a year ago. I did contact the maintainer, but got no response - the project seems to be unmaintained now (at least there has been no commit for more than a year now), so I decided to make a PR from this in case someone else needs it.
Any chance to get this in, or shall I close it? Note that django-mssql is not maintained anymore, and the owner suggests to switch to django-pyodbc-azure.
I have not tested your patch but I think, everything of value should be migrated from django-mssql to this package.
I use this in production code, so far there have been no problems (currently with Python 3.6, Django 1.11).
Where does the dll-file originate from? I'm thinking of adding regex support to django-mssql-backend (a fork of this repo) but I would like to understand of everything fits together first.
I have taken this from django-mssql directly, but as far as I remember, I had also looked at the source code (which was Visual Basic iirc). I can try to dig this up later this week (traveling right now).
@OskarPersson - you can find source code for a CLR DLL here, though I'm not sure if this was the source of the given DLL - the source code hadn't been provided at django-mssql.
I've now created a PR with this in django-mssql-backend: https://github.com/ESSolutions/django-mssql-backend/pull/43
