Those might be options,  need to check.

You could also do a similar thing with MS SQL server 2008 or even ArcSDE if those are options.

Bob,

I wonder if SpatialLite would work.  SpatialLite is a lightweight file based DBMS so you wouldn't need to install another piece of software.  I did ask the MS4W group about the support status a couple years ago, so I don't know if it is supported or how well it performs.

No can do.
As much as I like the thought of us going to PostGIS, the boss has repeatedly told us no, at least for the time being, regarding PostGIS.

Put your data into Postgres/Postgis and use MapServer.  You have complete control over how the SQL is processed from the MapServer Mapfiles.  If you want to really getinto the weeds, you can use a scriptiong lang like PERL (my poison of choice) and run your queries via dynamic SQL creation, etc.

I posted this to the MapServer list a minute ago, but thought I might also ask from the GeoMoose perspective...

Does anyone have advice on the best or most efficient way to query data, involving both a spatial and an attribute query.  I need to query several layers, selecting based on an area, then select from that selection based on an attribute value.  It would be OK to query by the attribute first, then spatial.
