Thanks for that tutorial. I'll need to first have administrative access to both GeoServer and PostgreSQL running on a server.<br><br>So, I'm thinking of setting up, as I mentioned, both mapserver via geomoose and geoserver.<br>
<br>I am new to all of this, so I'm going to send questions to the individual mailing lists to get help setting up.<br><br>Does anyone think there is a way I can just use the tools through a server providing the tools as a free service?<br>
If I should just go ahead and install everything on my own server, I was thinking of setting up a server through godaddy, a third-party service. Is this a bad idea? I don't want to have any problems, and they're good with customer support. I have no experience setting up a server on my own...<br>
<br>I'll send links to the threads I start on the geoserver and geomoose mailing lists.<br><br>thanks,<br>nitin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 8:32 PM, Noli Sicad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nsicad@gmail.com">nsicad@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

"A WFS-Transaction can be used to add, remove or modify the features<br>
that are loaded, and most importantly allows for the changes to be<br>
committed back and saved to the parent source."<br>
