Is this something you've had success with in the past? This was actually the first thing I tried. It didn't work, and I believe the outcome was a 500 error. I guess I could give it another shot.
I was using the Oracle to_char function, but maybe it got converted back into a number somewhere downstream. I could add dashes (e.g.: 2008-01-15) to make sure it is forcing the field type to string. The WFS docs for MapServer say string comparison is not supported ( http://mapserver.org/ogc/filter_encoding.html http://mapserver.org/ogc/filter_encoding.html - see #3 at the bottom of the page), so I didn't want to spend a bunch of time on this. Interestingly, the default display for dates starts with the hour, followed by the date. I was able to use comparison filters, even though the docs say it won't work. It would select records that occurred earlier or later in the day, ignoring the date. There was a method to the madness, but definitely not what I was after!!! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/problem-with-scientific-notation-in-WFS-field-output-tp2236793p2237958.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
