[mapserver-users] QUERYFILE and SAVEQUERY

[Ryan, Adam]

I've been experimenting with SaveQuery and QueryFile, and I'm not clear on
what the .qy file is telling mapserver.

Does the .qy file specify the qlayer?  More specifically, if I originally
queried with qlayer = "Taxlots1", could I then set my qlayer = "Taxlots2"
and apply the queryfile to Taxlots2 (assuming that the data source was the
same)?

What I really want to do is set the data source (I've got that done) and the
visible features (the results of my query) of my queried layer to a generic
'select' layer, and then browse around without calling the query template.

Am I making any sense?

Thanks for any ideas on this,
