Matt,
For question #1, are you talking about the .dbf that is part of the
shapefile, or a second .dbf that you would like to join to?
For question #2, I would just suggest downloading the legislative
district shapefiles from the MN Legislative GIS Office:
http://www.gis.leg.mn/metadata/leg02.htm (there is a download link in
the metadata)
David.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Shading Polygons and removing
internal boundaries from shapefiles
Hi,
I just installed MapServer because I want to do some graphical
shading of polygons that represent MN voting precints. I have two
particular questions:
1. Is there an example mapfile or mapscript that helps me
understand how to shade polygons on a scale based upon a numeric value
in a .dbf file?
2. I want to graphically show Legislative districts, and I have
voting precint shapefiles. How do I aggregate precints that belong to a
legislative district and make that one polygon, erasing the lines that
would be internal to this aggregated region?
