Hello, I haven't tested this but since gdal/ogr 1.3.2 you can write and read mysql spatial data. See http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/drv_mysql.html for more details.

hello, taking effective crash course in Mapserver and MySQL. Have seen CONNECTIONTYPE mygis, OGR/MySQL, JOIN and MySQL, and related docs. I haven't yet seen any strong indication that anything in Mapserver is compatible with the spatial extensions to MySQL (v4.1 and above, I think). Can anyone confirm or refute the following: " I should NOT attempt to model any spatial data in MySQL using its spatial constructs if I want to display them in Mapserver." Thanks for any assist -- might save several hours of investigation. Robert H.
