Is it possible to send a string value to SqlView based layer in the viewparameter
sequence? My parameter is similar to date (contains dashes) and if I put it in request like this:
http://x.y.z/geoserver/db/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=ABC:AnyDay&styles=&bbox=2069724.275423,7237025.845297,2069831.088769,7237123.162091&width=768&height=699&srs=EPSG:3857&format=image%2Fgif&viewparams=XYZ:2017-10-10
server gives error information: XYZ is integer and SQL query is bad - no layers appear.
I know this solution is dangeoreus but I have to agree with it.
