MapServer and SDE

[Stephen Lime]

I'm in the midst of some low level changes to enable SDE and OGR
queries. This will also facilitate OGIS WMT compliance. SDE annotation
layers are not ready, nor is projection. EXPRESSIONS are supported
and are essentially SQL where clauses. They are not the same as normal
MapServer EXPRESSIONS. I figured why not take advantage of what
SDE brings to the table in this case. Basic labeling also should work, the only
exception is that label expressions (eg. ([PARKNAME] State Park)) do not
(and never will since they can be handled via SQL.

Hi Chris,

I tried to use mapserv with SDE 3.0.2 but I had no sucess.  I did
however manage to compile it using SDE 8.0.2 and Oracle 8.i.

Most things work except EXPRESSIONS, LABELS and ANNOTATION though I am
only using mapserv version 3.3.011. Version 3.3.012 may have fixed
these problems.

I hope that this helps.
