[Mapserver-users] OGR:ODBC Woes

[Paul Spencer]

Chip,

assuming that ogrinfo works, it is most likely that you have a mapserver 
build that doesn't include the right OGR version.  There is a known 
issue (that Frank fixed for 4.2 I think) with OGR, replacing gdal12.dll 
is not sufficient, you must also rebuild mapserver to get the updated 
features.

I think if you grab the latest 4.2b3 release it will include the 
necessary functionality.

Cheers,

Paul
