Mapserver and MySQL

[Murat Beyhan]

Dear Vishal try to do following if you use LinuxOS in the console
 ogrinfo --formats
Supported Formats:
  ESRI Shapefile
  MapInfo File
  UK .NTF
  SDTS
  TIGER
  S57
  DGN
  VRT
  AVCBin
  REC
  Memory
  CSV
  GML
  OGDI
  MySQL
you will see the list of the supported formats.
If the MySql doesn't listed on the list you must reinstall ogr 
application by using MySql support
I hope it will be help you.
Regards
Murat
