[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] itemnquery mode and postgis help

Fri Jan 14 14:53:24 EST 2005

Skweda and list,

I've taken into account some of the things you have said and I have changed my command to:
./mapserv QUERY_STRING="mode=itemnquery&map=/mapfiles/idcdev_canada-itemnquery.map&qlayer=wells&map_wells_filter=%2F100032300505W500%7C200B067H082G0700%2F&uwi=100032300505W500&uwi=200B067H082G0700&layers=wells+wells-selected"

All the extra stuff was there because I was trying to use a working nquery command. I have taken out the source parameter, however, the uwi (= unique id) is what I would like to filter with.

Thanks
Zamil

Zamil,

I am frequently using itemnquery in cgi mode with PostGIS data and it works
very well.  

There is a lot of things confused in your query string:

        - Use a mapext instead of a imgext
        - the MAXY coordinate of your imgext (mapext) is missing
        - Since you have an imgbox, I understand you want to do a nquery not
an itemnquery (itemnquery is for selecting data based on a query in the
table VS a nquery wich is for selecting data spatially), so change the mode
to nquery
        - I don't know the "source" parameter.  Are you using it somewhere
in your code???
        - The same goes for "uwi"

Let's give it a try with these corrections...

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting info using itemnquery cgi mode. I have found many
examples that use shapefiles but I have yet to see one that uses postgis.
So, I'm having a bit of trouble getting info from the db.

Here is how I run the command:
./mapserv
QUERY_STRING="mode=itemnquery&map=/mapfiles/idcdev_canada-itemnquery.map&img
ext+3674226.39765+-183134.22738+3676417.48504&mapsize=688+434&imgbox=195+11+
570+401&source=TIG600&qlayer=wells&map_wells_filter=%2F100032300505W500%7C20
0B067H082G0700%2F&uwi=100032300505W500&uwi=200B067H082G0700&layers=wells+wel
ls-selected"

It comes back with:
Content-type: text/html

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>MapServer Message</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
msQueryByAttributes(): Query error. No query expression defined. <br>

Here is my mapfile (BTW, nquery works with this mapfile - I've been using
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests40/itemquery/case2.map as
an example):

NAME TEST1

END

QUERYMAP

'YYYY-MM-DD') as pretty_spud_date, to_date(main_well2.rig_release_date,
'YYYY-MM-DD') as pretty_rig_release_date, prettyuwi(main_well2.uwi) as
prettyuwi, well_status(plot_symbol) as well_status, * from main_well2) as
new_table using unique oid"
   TEMPLATE "./idcdev_wells.html"
   PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4269"
   END
END

END

Any help would be appreciated
