Hi all: Anyone have a sample configuration for creating an OGR layer joined to a MySQL table? The MySQL table has no spatial component. I believe it's possible but haven't stumbled upon a concrete

I'd be really interested to see how you get this to work, Steve. I cannot get the JOIN command to work, even on a simple csv file.

Here's what I have tried:
        LAYER
                NAME "squares"
                TYPE POLYGON
                STATUS ON
                DATA "squares"
                CLASS
                        ...
                END
                TOLERANCE 20
                TEMPLATE "testm_template.html"
                HEADER "testm_header.html"
                FOOTER "testm_footer.html"
                JOIN
                        NAME "jointest"
                        TABLE "testm.csv"
                        FROM "IDENT"
                        TO "id"
                END
        END #of layer

testm.csv is in the same directory as the mapfile. The shapefile (squares) shows up fine, but querying it gives this message:

Status: 302 Found Uri: http://.../errors/errors.html Location: http://.../errors/errors.html Content-type: text/html

and this debug message:

[Thu Sep 3 15:37:43 2009].493754 msDBFJoinConnect(): Unable to access file. (testm.csv)

Commenting out the JOIN lines gives correct expected results, so I assume everything else is in the right place (including template files). I've tried a few variations of "testm.csv" - like "'testm.csv'" and "/full/pathname/to/testm.csv" but still no luck. I tried JOINing a shape to an OGR MySQL table, but that didn't work, which is why I dropped back to testing with a simple csv JOIN.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg.
