Hi Mark,
Your interpretation of the existing JOIN documentation
(http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/join.html) is correct, you can only
use the JOIN feature for query templates.

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 tolabel 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]) #labelusing the joined table
Thanks
