All (well actually, those OGR GURUs),
Anyone have an example (request Syntax) of using a OGR connection to
filter with a Outer Select using MapServers IMGEXT as the inner select?
We're trying to run a complicated SELECT statement against a layer in
Oracle, but would like to use the MapServer IMGEXT as the inner SELECT
and having problems figureing it out.
How can the MapServer Spatial filter be used in the inner SELECT before
we filter with our Select?
What should the MAPFILE elements look like?
What we want to do as the "outer select":
select * from sewer_permits1 where ogr_fid in (select max(ogr_fid) from
sewer_permits1 group by id);
We can't seem to get this to be used AFTER the Spatial Select occurs
from the MapServer Request. It's rather slow if it's used before the
MapServer Spatial Filter, so we need the Spatial aspects to run first,
then run this statement on the output from the MapServer Spatial
operation instead of the whole DB.
Thanks
