[mapserver-users] oracle projection issue

[Holger Porath]

Hi all,

we want to provide a WFS featuretype for a dataset that is stored in  
an oracle locator database. The database table contains a field with  
coordinates in UTM32 with the unit millimeter instead of meter. Our  
mapfile contains a PROJECTION part with the EPSG code for UTM32  
(25832) but this code expects the coordinates in meters. The  
featuretype works but if we want to do an bbox based getFeature query,  
we have to provide coordinates in millimeter. That's ok for manual  
checks but our wfs client -probably like any other wfs client - isn't  
able to provide coordinates in millimeter. So any idea of how we can  
tell mapserver that the coordinates have millimeter units? Maybe using  
mapscript or with an custom PROJECTION part?

We are using the native oracle spatial support (not OGR). We are not  
using an SRID. We are not able to recalculate the coordinates in the  
database.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Holger
