[Mapserver-users] LABEL and MYSQL

[Steve Lime]

At this point that type of live link/join is not possible without the
aid of MapScript. There
was already a follow up to your message that goes into it. This is a
planned modification
to MapServer. Given the short timeframe to the user group meeting, and
hence the
release of 4.0 I don't think I'll have time to add it (unless someone
has $'s to do it). 
Otherwise I would expect it this summer sometime.

LABEL and MYSQL

Hi everybody

One simple question :

Is it possible to have labels related to a field in a mysql database ?

In more details, I have some shapes files that I would like to label.
But the .dbf files related to my .shp files only contain one field
(ID).
This field is used to make a link to a lot of datas in some mysql
databases.
Using the basic label instruction of MapServer, I can only output
labels
from the ID field of the .dbf files. Of course, I would like to output
labels with a field from the mysql databases.
Is that enough clear ?

If somebody can help me, it would be great.
If not, I would have to add a second field (in my .dbf files) used
only
for labeling. Furthermore, this would duplicate this data because I
also
need it in the Mysql databases; and it would make my databases
handling
more complicated and by the way it would make me very sad because my
database managing works pretty well with only one field in the .dbf
files,
and it's pretty simple.

Help needed ! Thanks a lot in advance.

Blaise
