Thank you Steve, I understand the concept of including a file (only from
version 4.10)

but I am trying to say something like
       CONNECTION "dbname=thedatabase  user=theuser host=localhost
port=5432"
        DATA "gis_ngr from (select gis_ngr,gid,name from
county_outline_table ) as foo using srid=27700 using unique gid"

How do I define the strings like 'thedatabase' or theuser ?
