[Mapserver-users] Mapserver "database system management" multiaccess writing control in database

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I'd edit Steve's comments.  However, so much of what we do requires dbms 
  access that I suspect we _do_ need to add something to at least the 
Wiki (yes... I know... I'll start writing) that talks about this.

Remi, if you're comfortable with perl or PHP programming, the use of 
databases is very straightforward.  I can't speak to MSQL, but both 
PostGreSQL and MySQL are straightforward.

I doubt anything significant will be written this week, because I've got 
meetings in 2 cities all week, and with the End Of Semester blues and 
the holidays approaching I'm likely to get busy, but I'll try to get 
started.  Anyone else who is interested, please take a shot: I'm not 
likely to be the best one to do this anyway!
