[mapserver-users] Is It Possible To Draw The Map Without Reading Joined Tables?

[James Card]

We have a map that includes four layers that have OGR joins to database  
tables. The joined tables are used only for queries, not for theming or  
labeling the layers. When we compare performance of those same layers  
without the database joins we discover that maps are drawn in 1/3 - 1/5 of  
the time that's required for the joined layers.

Is it possible to force MapServer to draw layers without reading the  
joined tables, but still have the tabular data available for queries?
