Not very easily. Well, one could find a workaround of some kind, but it
would be nicer to have MapServer support character primary key columns,
which are unique as well.
In the relevant project, SAP is involved and within SAP all IDs are
defined as Text always. Now, we cannot change SAP. However, we could
change IDs to something else, e.g. map character values to numbers, but
that seems a little odd.
Anybody else having the need for MapServer being able to serve
getFeatureInfo against unique character primary key columns? Let us try
find a solution!
Cheers
