[Mapserver-users] Basic Query Question

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Kieran,

Each layer that you want to be Query-able should have a template. 
This is required because each layer can have different attributes 
that you might want to display for it when it is queried. So even 
though you might have a bunch of point layers, the airport layer may 
have different attributes than the shipwreck point layer, vs. the 
abandoned mines layer, etc.

When you do a query you query all the layers that are ON or DEFAULT 
that also have a template defined for it. No template definition, 
then it will not be queried.

Thats about all there is.
