SDE queries and views

[Howard Butler]

Kevin,

MapServer works with SDE's attributes almost like any other database 
(two-pass querying still applies though).  Are you having any troubles?

Also, you can create something in SDE called an "SDE View," which you 
can use SDE to permanently join layers with attributes and make them 
appear to clients as a single, alternatively-named layer.  I have 
found that this is faster and simpler than attempting to try and do 
anything about JOINs in mapfiles, etc.
