Hi All, I'm having 2 problems: 1) Mapserver uses 100% for infinite time... (hangs !) for some layers... 2) Mapserver survives after killing Apache (same with lighttpd). It even wont die with a sudo killall mapserv at least that I pass the -9 parameter. Any ideas ? (I'm running Mapserver on a

I looks like with gdal 1.7, spatialite support has improved. If you need to support layers based on queries that link geometry tables with attribute tables, spatialite could still potentially work. I haven't tested out a spatialite layer yet though. http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html
