I'm using a database merging utility for wordpress called Mergebot. One of the tools it includes, is Query Exclusion. This basically excludes certain db queries from being tracked.
I have to use PHP regex to identify the data I'd like to exclude . Example from the docs:
For example let’s say you want to exclude a plugin’s settings from the options table in WordPress (that has the option_name "my_custom_plugin"). The field values would be as follows:
Table: options
Column: option_name
Search: my_custom_plugin
I need to exclude any queries that affect the mm_sessions table, which uses the column id as the primary key. So my current exclusion (which isn't working) looks like this:
Table: sessions
Column: id
Search: [\s\S]
Example query that should be excluded:
UPDATE `mm_sessions` SET `data` =

I believe the issue i'm encountering has to do with how I'm applying the regex syntax as it relates to the data in the db columns. Any ideas on how to properly format the regex so it identifies if any characters exist in the ID column, then exclude that query?
EDIT: I should also add that the docs specifically state to not include the table prefix when adding the exclusion; hence me using sessions instead of mm_sessions
