Re: [mapserver-users] How to link Oracle attributes to SHAPEFILE
Hi Pedro, A number of years ago i had a situation like you describe below. The solution we chose was: - Create a postgresql/postgis datawarehouse - Import shapefiles into postgis (shp2psql or ogr2ogr) - Import attribute info from oracle into postgresql (we needed a commercial license for converting Oracle to Postgresql) - Either create a view or merge tables to join the geometry and attribute info - Serve the lot through MapServer WFS/WMS I hope this helps.

My geographic layers are SHAPEFILES and the attributes of SHAPEFILES are stored in Oracle 10g (*NOT* Oracle Spatial or Locator) I need to link (or join) SHAPEFILES with attribute (NOT spatial) tables to do 3 things: -Draw only elements of SHAPEFILE that are related with some records in Oracle. A record (polygon, for example) in the SHAPEFILE should only draw if is related with a record in Oracle (they both have a common column). -Make a thematic map wich classifications depending on the values of Oracle records. -Draw only elements of SHAPEFILE that meet an Oracle condition I have found lots of examples of layers wich both, geometry and attribtes, in Oracle; or layers in Oracle Spatial, but none of how to link and use a SHAPEFILE with Oracle (not spatial). I too would like to do the same of the aforementioned, but in this case with *DBF files* instead of Oracle tables. I have seen an example in the documentation, but I don’t know distinguish SHAPEFILES and the DBF files in the sentence. Please, could somebody send me an example to easily understand this?

Hi Roald. Thanks for the reply. In this project, we are required to use SHAPEFILES and Oracle, so we can't change this environment.

Regards, Roald Pedro, the solution Roald is proposing is IMHO the closest one you have to obtain what you need with MapServer (et alii). according to this doc: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/join.html supported formats are: * DBF/XBase files * CSV (comma delimited text file) * PostgreSQL and PostGIS tables * MySQL tables So you have 5 options: 1. shapefile + dbf (exported from Oracle tables) 2. PostGIS 3. MySQL 4. Oracle Spatial 5. Oracle + ArcSde in 2. and 3. no need to join, you could use views. in 4 you need views. with 5 there are many limits with joins, so could be the wrong way to go. Note anyway that for what you need (join to make thematic map) according to the above doc there is no way. So the only solutions to go are 3, 4 I am not aware of other map web server software, neither OS or commercial, able to make mixed (from different sources) join for thematic mapping best regards Paolo ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
