[mapserver-users] join table to shape file before query

[Jim Hagedorn]

I need to join a table with a shape file before I do a query.  I have a shape file with polygons and the table has info on the polys but the table could have multiple entries for each polygon.  I need to search on the table and then be able to zoom to the polygon for that entry in the table.  I have done the join but that is after the query and can only query the polygon but it doesn't have the info I need to search on.  is it possible to do the join first or somehow query the table and then relate back to the shapefile?

thanks
