PowerSchool custom pages and REGEXP_LIKE

Making PowerSchool custom pages useful for sophisticated reporting
If you don’t want to use PDO on a WAMP server to connect to and report from your PowerSchool database, you may still want to do some sophisticated reporting from PowerSchool’s custom pages. Unfortunately, custom pages is a bit of a coarse tool that’s also not well documented (in terms of sophisticated reporting—simple reporting has…
