Loading information from postgresql

[Astrid Emde]

Hello Carlos,

if you don't want to show the whole table but only a query in your map
you have to write DATA like this:


1. you can write the query in the DATA-Parameter:

DATA "the_geom from (select oid, gid, name,pc,number from plz where
pc=1) as foo using unique gid using SRID=4326"


2. You can make a query/view in postgresql and refer to the query:

DATA "the_geom from (select * from qry_wfs_plz) as foo using unique gid
using SRID=4326"



More information about PostGIS and umn MapServer you can find on the
postgis-homepage:

http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#id3370572


Good luck

Astrid
