The queryByAttribute method essentially creates a custom filter (first preserving the old one) and then hands things off to the underlying driver. For that reason it can't apply the existing filter. All the other methods will honor the existing filter in the same way drawing does. The point, rect or shape filtering happens after the filter is applied by the driver...

Hence I had written my code first to execute query by shape and append those results to query expression as IN clause and invoke queryByAttributes. While doing some testing on oracle spatial layer, I found that queryByShape is actually honoring filter expression on the layer. Since this will be executed as a single call, I want to modify my code to call only queryByShape and set the query expression to filter. This will improve overall time taken for the query execution but I want to make sure that his behavior is consistent across all data sets (providers).

It definitely ignores the existing filter.

Best regards, Tamas 2010/1/29 Murty Maganti <mmaga...@oriongis.com<mailto:mmaga...@oriongis.com>> Hi I want to know if a layer's filter (set using layerObj.setFilter method) is used while executing any of the query methods on a layer like queryByShape, queryByAttributes, queryByRect etc. Thanks Murty _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<mailto:mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
