One shapefile, many countries, many colors?

[Pascal Ehlert]

Hi all!

I used shp2pgsql to insert the definitions of many countries (the
African continent actually ;)) into my PostGIS enabled database.

Is there still a way to distinguish between the countries now and assign
different colors to them?
ArcView does this in a really nice way so I think it should be possible
with the MapServer too, isn't it?



Thank you
