[mapserver-users] Asking for guidelines about a project

[Saka Royban]

Thanks a lot brent
I checked provided link and i;m gonna give it a try.
About ur helpful advices, i'm confused about how to save data in PostGIS? with 
what schema? 

I mean i have to keep track of each paced point by moving objects. Should i 
record each point as a record, so it means one table per moving object ?
Also for displaying these varaiant data, there should some sort of plan. I don't 
think i'm able to say to MapServer CGI at each second connect to PostGIS and 
read the new data, then i have to use MapScript. Am i right? (Can this process 
be done via OpenLayers?)

Best Regards

  Saka,

  I've had good success using PostGIS for data storage in     implementing 
tracking systems.  While you'll need to create your own     code for updating 
the positions in the database, mapserver can read     points from PostGIS and 
can render the points into a map image for     use with the OpenLayers client.

  There are other solutions too, like OpenGTS     
(http://opengts.sourceforge.net/index.html)
