[MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver does partial search of dbf file

[Jeff McKenna]

I would also try ogrinfo to see how GDAL reads your shapefile:

ogrinfo buildings.shp buildings -summary

	- use that to see if the feature count is correct

ogrinfo buildings.shp buildings

	- use that to see the individual records
