<font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">Was wondering about putting a STAT line on a Mapserver image that is coming from POSTGIS. What's involved in sending something like "SELECT COUNT(*) from <table>" from inside of the same mapfile, and adding the RESULT as a TEXT element to the map. is this a legend thing, a map thing or something in between??</font> </p>

<font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">Is it as simple as creating a point on the fly and using a SQL call (from a separate LAYER) to label with? (hmm, I think I just talked through the process . . .)</font> </p>
