Hi,

I server mostly aerial images with Mapserver and I know just a bit about
styling. However, I believe you should read these docs

http://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html

For Mapserver there is not difference where the data comes from so the
postgis doc http://mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html is not very
relevant.

You can have several classes in a mapfile and classes can contain several
styles. Layers, classes, and styles can all have scale denominators.
Example showing many classes and styles per one database query
http://latuviitta.org/tyylikirjasto/pg_roadsclose_10k_i.map
This mapfile renders OSM highway layer.

Geoserver supports using SQL queries for selecting data nowadays
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/database/sqlview.html
The name "sqlview" is misleading.

Geoserver implements the SLD standard and filter capabilities can be read
from http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1188
Geoserves also has a brand new CSS community module for styling
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/css/index.html
