Hi Bruno,
I googled this pages for you :-) :
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/postgis
here is another one: see the PostGIS DB section:
http://umn.mapserver.ch/index_en.php

Note: for views (tables?) you should have one unique column, and use it in your query using the 'unique'-keyword as shown below (which comes from a postgis/mapserver/debian cookbook I wrote a couple of days back http://www.duif.net/postgis ):

  layer
    name 'world'
    metadata
      "wms_title"                     "postgis world"
      "wms_srs"                       "epsg:4326"
    end
    status default
    template "dummy"
    connectiontype postgis
    connection "host=localhost dbname=mygisdb password=**** user=richard"
    data 'the_geom from mygisdb using unique gid using srid=4326'
    type polygon
    class
      color 255 0 0
      outlinecolor 192 192 192
    end
  end

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hallo guys,

i have worked on a Plone project handling a gis (using PrimaGIS product); it used shapefiles to render the gis. Now i have translated all shapefiles into postgis and i can check it is correct using QGis (under MacOSX).

The question is: where can i get some 'real' examples of how to create Mapserver map file to let it read postgis data ? I have made some 'blind' experiments, but it's not a good way to do things like that :D

In particular it would be nice to get map file sections documentation.

P.s.: the project runs on Debian.

Thanks in advance
