Spurred on by Zmitser, I've given some much needed love to the tileindex
examples (see
https://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html#long-ogrtindex-example
). It doesn't answer Zmitser's exact questions but it hopefully helps
the next person understand how to implement.
Also, pull requests are encouraged if you want to add more, to the
documentation repository at
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation
Side note: this latest effort was kind of special to me, as in fact back
in year 2004 I did a similar effort to give examples of tile4ms, notice
the QGIS version 0.6 screen captures that I had made back in 2004, and
now these tileindex examples use a more recent QGIS version of 3.18.1
ha. The circle of life.

Dear Carlos, it is not about mapfile, it is in location cell of
tileindex. It is one cell in table (database table, dbf file etc.), and
I need to put there both connection and data details. The question is
how to make it so that mapserver parses it correctly.
Sincerely, Zmitser

Zmitser,
You have to have the following on a MAP file:
LAYER
...
CONNECTION "host=<HOST> ... password=<PASSWORD>"
CONNECTIONTYPE <CONNECTION_TYPE>
DATA "<GEOM_COLUMN> FROM <TABLE NAME> USING UNIQUE <ID> USING
SRID=<SRID>"
...
END
On DATA you must specify the name of the geometry column and the
table, if you're using a database. If you are using a shape file you
just have to include the DATA keyword with the path and the name of
the SHP file.

Dear mapserver users, I need to specify data parameter at the
location item of tileindex.
So far, I have tried many possibilities but none works:
‘host=127.0.0.1 dbname=database user=admin password=admin DATA "geom
from table using unique id using srid=4326"’
or
host=127.0.0.1 dbname=database user=admin password=admin data="geom
from table using unique id using srid=4326"
etc.
Still I get an error :
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named
'layer'. msPostGISLayerOpen(): Query error. Nothing specified in
DATA statement.
Could someone please tell in which format data statement should be?
In documentation it is written vaguely:
Normally the location should contain the path to the tile file
relative to the shapepath, not relative to the tileindex itself. If
the DATA parameter contains a value then it is added to the end of
the location.
