[Mapserver-users] beginner: own points and mouseover

[joerg p]

hello,

after finishing the tutorial I need some ideas for my next steps to 
create two things:

I have in mysql a db with the coordinates of the cities in Germany. How 
do I get them into my map?

I d like to have then a mousover function for each city in my map. I 
read the list archive and found no real answer whats best:
chameleon tooltip, imagemap output or the shpxy tag?

Thanks
Jörg
