Hi There,

maybe using OGR join to achieve that could be a solution. Check the following post: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2004-November/002149.html

  On a MapServer layer you can do something like:

  LAYER
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
     CONNECTION "/test/my_shape_file.shp"
    DATA "SELECT ..."
  ...

  END

regards,

Hi,

I am using mapserver to generate map overlays for google (using
tiles). I was wondering if there is a way in which I can color code
the map based on external data (data not available in the dbf file). I
was able to join the external data and display to the user when a
click event happened but could not figure out a way in which mapserver
can color code using expressions and classes. Is the only way to this
is combining the external data with the existing dbf file?

Thanks,
Varun
