STYLEITEM with MySQL possible?

[Volkan Ulukut]

Hey List;

I'm trying to get the style of each feature from my datasource (MySQL). More
specifically i got one column on my shape table named  "Category" and i need
to show symbols according to that category. e.g 'anchor.png' for Port
category, 'cross.png' for Hospital category etc. I've tried using:

STYLEITEM "Category" 

But i guess it's not impelemented right now. Is there any other way to give
each feature in a layer different symbols? Well there is always CLASSITEM
but i wish to be able to add symbols dynamically (without touching the .map
file) with MySQL.

Also I remember reading somewhere that there are a limit of 64 for symbols
in a .sym file. Is this true for symbols in .map file?
