Hello,

I have not used the Join shapefile to database function in mapserver before.
I just have a couple questions

*       The description explains that "It is important to understand that
JOINs are ONLY available once a query has been processed. You cannot use
joins to affect the look of a map."  Does that mean that we can only use the
joins for templates.  If possible, I would like to label using a field in a
joined table.
*       Is the following formatted correctly 

                #CLASSITEM 'PARC_CODE'
                JOIN #TEST
                        NAME "MyJoin"
                        TABLE "LyonCounty/Parcels/test.dbf" #location of the
dbf file
                        FROM "PARCEL_ID"  #shapefile field
                        TO "PIN"   #dbf field
                        TYPE ONE-TO-ONE
                END #JOIN
                ...
                        TEXT ("Name" * [MyJoin_MYNAME])  #label using the
joined table

Thanks
