why not use current standard syntax
SELECT x.*
FROM x,
(select match (x.foo, '([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)')
from x innerx
where innerx.pk = x.pk
) as res
HAVING y = get_match_group(res, 2)
OR y = get_match_group(res, 3)
;
with functions match(str,regex) which returns a match object
and get_match_group which extracts matched groups from it.
