Re: [mapserver-users] creating views/queries on the fly

Hi, Perhaps defining layer DATA so that it includes variables could help you? Your client should then send the variables with the requests, like key=xxxvalue=yyy. If you do not need a service based solution, OpenJUMP is very good tool for making arbitrary database queries. It supports

Hi Puneet, Would a scripting language, like Pl/Pgsql, be something to tackle your problem? It lets you build dynamic commands: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN. I have also used PHP to build dynamic SQL queries, but I

I have a large amount of S-57 files. How can I efficiently set them up in MapServer? I am trying using ogr2ogr to convert S-57 to Shapefile and to merge those shapes with the same S-57 layer and same geometry type together. One problem is how can I map the type correctly between S-57 /

Hi Luis, It worked great. Thanks a lot for very elegant solution. I just queried the layer using your SQL and it returned me the string something like BOX(72.6303329467773 17.8568286895752,73.7989807128906 20.2300205230713). I had to manipulate that string and extract the coordinates. Thanks

MapServer doesn't have a bbox shape type you can draw from so you'd need to turn the bounding boxes into true polygons and draw them that way. That's just a matter of feeding the bbox corners in the right order. MapScript has a toPolygon method for rects that should make that easy. Steve

I've never tested them side-by-side but my coworkers claim ECW is faster than MrSid. Sorry I don't have any numbers for you. I've been using ECW though and it's pretty great, performance-wise for big images. -Matt Mendick -- View this message in context:

Mark, These days disk space is easier to come by than time, in general. As Jeff points out, GeoTiff is fast (especially if you use TILEINDEX and MAX/MINSCALEDENOM layers for pyramid/overviews). But GeoTiffs tend to take up 10 to 20 times the amount of disk space of ECWs though... Is
