Suman I am doing this another way.... Although I am using GeoMoose/MapServer... I am using an OGR connection in my map file to connect to a MySQL database via a OVF file....this is plotting Points based on XY Coordinates, which is querying the database. I am would have to look up again what I am doing if you are interested in this.
Is this something like you are doing Bobb. I am not familiar with the Query/Render engine in map server.

This is how we do GPS location points for example. The points are loaded into the Database (POSTGIS) and simply (re)read as a display request by MapServer. Just set up both sides, the Database and the MapServer connectivity to the database as two separate processes, and that should get you what you are after. bobb >>> "Suman Chatterjee" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, I am working on a project which requires adding points to a basic map dynamically. That means the basic map will be read from the map file. Then the points will be queried from a database preferably PostGreSQL and then plotted on the map. I cannot add the query to the map file because the points will be generated dynamically at regular intervals. Is there any way I can do this in mapserver? ******************************************************************************************************************* This e-mail and any files or attachments transmitted with it contains Information that is confidential and privileged.
