[Mapserver-users] Open source databases

[BAUD remi]

Hello the list,

I'm currently working with shape files for my database. I have develloped some functions with MapServer and PHP allowing users to enter new informations such as points and attributes in my database.

Do someone knows if it's possible to store geometrical objects in DBMS like Postgis/PostGreSQL database? I know we can easily store attributes, but what about objects? Is it possible to do this with MySql?.
