[Mapserver-users] How to make labels in MS with PostGIS

[Paul Ramsey]

Same as with any other data source. Declare a labelitem and add a label 
object to your class object. Should be examples in the map file 
reference page. The only potential gotcha is that your labelitem 
attribute should be given in lower case.
