Is it possible to use a PostGIS table as a tileindex? The docs seem to indicate so, but I could not find an example of how to connect to PostGIS through CONNECTIONTYPE OGR. I have made some reasonable attempts including TILEINDEX "PG:'host=myhost dbname=mydb',mytable" (analogous to the examples givens) and using CONNECTIONTYPE postgis in the usual fashion and substituting TILEINDEX for DATA, but it always seems to be looking for a shapefile. Normally I would provide better snippets but I wanted to throw the question out there before going home tonight, so if anyone has any insight or relevant web links I would appreciate that information very much. Thanks.
Neil, Are you wanting to use postgis as a tileindex for a raster or a vector layer? I only have experience doing this for raster layers, but it might also work for vector layers. Generally if you want to use postgis for a tileindex, you need to create a seperate tileindex layer and then reference that layer by name in the TILEINDEX keyword of the tiled layer.
