[mapserver-users] Mapserver, WFS, ArcMap 8.3, and WKT in a non-spatial database

[Brent Fraser]

A couple of questions:

1. Will Mapserver WFS work with ArcMap 8.3 Interoperability Add-on
	- does it require the new-ish MS RFC 36: Simplified template support for query 
output to get ArcMap 8.3 acceptable WFS syntax?

2. Is there a way to have Mapserver pass the bounding box of an WFS query to a 
non-spatial database (e.g. in the CONNECTION, DATA, of FILTER)?  I currently do 
this on the Mapserver/CGI side by using variable substitution in the CONNECT 
(CONNECTIONTYPE OGR) object:

<SrcSQL>
   SELECT * FROM points WHERE
     LON &gt; %BBOX_MIN_LONG% AND LON &lt; %BBOX_MAX_LONG% AND
     LAT &gt; %BBOX_MIN_LAT%  AND LAT &lt; %BBOX_MAX_LAT%
</SrcSQL>

Thanks!
