GetFeature-request with a query expression

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi, 

Sure it is possible.  I made once a trial with Oracle spatial layer by inserting a variable inside the SQL query in the DATA argument. The layer can then be called from WFS client with extra argument like &ID=5 and the result should be as you expect. I guess,but haven't tried myself, that extra variables can be used also in other places in mapfile, like in FILTER.

Hi List,

is it possible to include into the GetFeature-request a query expression (for 
instance [ID]=5) so that only the objects, which match the defined criteria, 
are returned in the response?
I would like to get all filed values of some feature not having to scroll through 
the thousands of features, which I am not interested in.

Cheers,
Dmitri
