The device you are looking for is a Web Feature Server or "WFS". The following link describes setting this up:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server and the examples folder in the openlayers distro has a bunch of different WFS examples in it. Good luck and stay in touch, r.b. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Linda Rawson Sent: Wed 10/22/2008 2:33 PM To: OpenLayers Users Cc: Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Mapserver, Postgres, and OpenLayers Vector Layer Okay new to this whole thing. 1. I took an ESRI shape file and used shp2pgsql and got it into Postgres. 2. Made a mapserver layer of type line. 3. Successfully called layer from browser and openlayers of type WMS. 4. However I would really like this to be a vector layer. Is there anyway to do this? I have heard mention of a "feature server"??? Can anybody direct me to where I can find information? Thanks!
