[mapserver-users] Labels with SDE data

[Neil Fincham]

Hi All, 

 

Frustrating problem I know.  I eventually fixed it as below;-

      You need to set UNICODE_STRING "FALSE" using sdedbtune, then when you
load your data it will be just plain old text that mapserver does not have a
problem with.

Remember to do the stddbtune _before_ you load your data though, if it is
already loaded pump it out to shapefiles, sdedbtune and then reload is fine.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Labels with SDE data

 

I am using ESRI SDE layers in a Map file.  On some polygon layers, a text
label appears as a strange symbol, such as horizontal lines or a square.  If
I convert the same layer to shapefile and use it as a source, the polygon
labels look correct.

How can I correct this so the labels look correct using SDE layers?
