But the reason to have the database in more than one computer, is that
really so are available, it is unlikely that the information is
integrated into a single site, the application is for risk management,
where there are layers of information disseminated in several
locations, including various sources, such as graphics files, dbf, and
postgresql. I am currently studying for a master and my idea is to propose improvements to mapserver in this regard. ¿how? Developing a mechanism to be included in the file. Map more than one
source to a layer, so something like a mirror, and that the choice of
the server is based not only on the availability of the source, also
the bandwidth , reliability and others.<br><br></div><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 3, 2007 6:49 PM, Milo van der Linden <<a href="mailto:mlinden@zeelandnet.nl">

No, mapserver cannot switch automatically unless you tell it to in a
php script or something.<br>
<br>
But why put these databases on two computers? Why not use a single
server that is always on and holds the database?<br>
<br>
There are many ways to achieve this, but that is basically no mapserver
issue.<br>
<br>
First of all, storing gis data on a single computer always makes it
stand alone. Storing it on a server makes it available to the server
and to servers with rights on that particular server via the network.<br>
<br>
Best thing I would do if I where you:<br>
<br>
<br>
- Set up a postGIS spatial database and provide both workstations with
access. If you use qGIS or openJump as the GIS client, this is a very
workable situation.<br>
<br>
- If you want to do the same, but with a more commercial solution;
consider MapInfo with SQL-server Spatialware or ArcView with SDE.<br>
<br>
Databases have the advantage that they are designed to be multi-user
where as GIS data most of the time is not.<br>

This is my question. Do Mapserver enables distributed processing
spatial data? <br>
<br>
Information
<br>
- Two computers
<br>
- Each computer has a spatial database
<br>
- What happen?. If I want to obtain a spatial data from the
computer # 1 through mapserver and is not available this database. Can
mapserver look so automatic that spatial data in the database from the
computer computer # 2?
