-MapServer can access vector file formats and database connections. It can also
-access raster or image data. This is a summary of the vector and database
-formats with particular focus on how to use them in a MapServer map file and
-access them using command line tools like **ogrinfo**.
-MapServer and vector data access
-------------------------------------
-
-MapServer has two main methods for accessing data:
-
-* Through built-in, format-specific, data access capabilities.
-
-.. note::
- The most basic form of data access uses the built-in capabilities
- that were linked into MapServer when it was compiled. These
- capabilities are limited to only a few types of vector data,
- such as ESRI Shapefile, PostGIS, Oracle Spatial and ArcSDE. The
- default, built-in, format for MapServer is the ESRI Shapefile format.
-
-* Using the capabilities of third-party data access libraries.
-
-.. note::
- One of the most powerful features of MapServer is the ability to use data
- formats through a pseudo plug-in environment. The most significant
- third party library being used is GDAL/OGR. This includes raster
- (GDAL) and vector (OGR) data.
-
-Using OGR
-------------------------------------
-
-OGR is used behind the scenes by MapServer when requested. MapServer does not
-require OGR in order to run. Some users may never need the additional
-capabilities OGR offers, but many users find them absolutely necessary. Because
-MapServer is capable of accessing data via OGR, there is less need to program
-specific types of data format support directly into MapServer. Instead, further
-additions can be made to OGR and then be used by MapServer. In essence, the
-background libraries allow MapServer to bring the data into an internal,
-memory-based format that MapServer can use. For the most part, using
-OGR-related formats is seamless and intuitive.
