Hi
I am looking at Open Layers to display Postgis data.
I have a couple of questions to start.
- Can Open Layers connect directly to Postgis or does it require other
software?
- Is there documentation that shows how to make the connections and put
the system together??
didn't see any detailed answer to this, so...
I believe that Open Layers needs to talk to a WMS or WFS service, rather
than directly executing SQL against a datatabase (PostGIS or otherwise).
A pretty standard configuration is to run Geoserver (geoserver.org) w/
postgis. Mapserver (mapserver.gis.umn.edu) might be another option.
