[mapserver-users] Mapinfo TAB file FeatureIDs

[Ari Yakar]

Frank,

In MapX they call it FeatureID and I guess it is the feature numbers (order)
in table file.
But anyway, it looks like it is going to be simpler and more reliable to use
an ID field
which is created by Mapinfo application.

Thanks

Ari,

I am not sure what you mean by feature id.  The features in a tab file
are numbered (at least by the OGR API).  Is that the feature id you
want?  Are you wanting it from MapScript?

Best regards,
