I'm not sure if a "fix" is possible since queryByAttributes() works by setting the FILTERITEM/FILTER on the layer, so this behavior is kinda normal since the PostGIS FILTER syntax differs from the FILTER syntax used by shapefile layers.

Perhaps it's more a documentation issue and the various MapScript docs should make the above clearer.

Well, if it's presenting a markedly different API than a query on
shape file, I'd say it is at minimum non-optimal and worthy of a
ticket.  Of course, at this late date, "fixing" it will break everyone
else's code... oh, dear :)

Found the problem (thanks to Nicol ;-)
Code:
@$myQuery = $layer->queryByAttributes('nr_','7', MS_SINGLE);

must be changed to:
@$myQuery = $layer->queryByAttributes('nr_','nr_=7', MS_SINGLE);

Is this a bug?

Subject: [mapserver-users] queryByAttributes on PostGIS-Layer


Hallo list,

My test-system: Mapserver 5.02 on WinXP and postgreSQL 8.2
I try to make some querys via php-mapscript for a postgis-layer:
queryByPoint,queryByShape and queryByRect is no problem.
queryByAttributes always return "no result" (field 'nr_' is an integer)
If I use a shapefile for the same data (biogasanlagen.shp)
queryByAttributes works fine.

mapfile:
...
LAYER
 NAME "biogasanlagen"
 TYPE point
 STATUS on
 CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
 CONNECTION "user=postgres password=xyz dbname=mydb host=localhost
port=5432"
 DATA "the_geom from biogasanlagen using unique gid"
 #DATA biogasanlagen.shp
 TEMPLATE void
  CLASS
   Name "biogasanlagen"
   OUTLINECOLOR 128 70 0
      COLOR 230 70 0
      SYMBOL 'circle'
 SIZE 12
   END  # CLASS
 TRANSPARENCY 88
 TOLERANCE 8
END
...

php-Code:

...
$layer = $map->getLayerByName("biogasanlagen");
@$myQuery = $layer->queryByAttributes('nr_','7', MS_SINGLE);
...

any idea?

Thanks Sven
