[mapserver-users] msplugin_mssql2008 and getFeature()

[Gabe Codina]

Thanks

I have a work around - I am maintaining the selection in the database and
have defined a class to highlight the selected features - ironically making
my data section even more verbose.

If I have to come back to this I will have a look at the simple view
approach (you should see some of my other data statements).

Unfortunately Postgis is not an option as we have lots of distributed
components that all work with MSSQL, the only way we would do that is to
link a postgis server to the sql one and use some sort of data
synchronization.

Gabe,

I suspect your issue may be related to some parsing problem with the DATA
section. I think you might want to try defining a single view for your data
and then use this view to define the DATA section like:

gExtent from MyView using unique [iId] using SRID=4326


Best regards,

Tamas

Hi All

I have a web mapping app based on ms 5.2.1 and php mapScript.  Our business
layers are stored in MSSQL2008 and were transferred from postgis some time
ago.

I have a requirement to highlight selected features on the map - the way
this used to work was I would add a highlight layer to the map and  addthe
selected features to it by using getShape and addFeature.

Using the mssql plugin my calls to getShape (and getFeature) always return
FALSE.  I know the features are there but they cannot be retrieved.

Info:

Sample data statement

   DATA "gExtent FROM (SELECT [iId],geometry::STGeomFromWKB([binExtentWKB],
4326) AS gExtent
     ,[cIdentifiers],[cLabel],[iSessionId] FROM
[Scratch].[tManagementUnitsGeometry] WHERE [iSessionId] = 310) AS FOO USING
UNIQUE [iId] USING SRID=4326"

Some Mapscript

              if ($resTileShpIdx){
                   $resShape = $qLayer->getShape($resTileShpIdx,
$resShpIdx);
               } else {
                   $resShape = $qLayer->getFeature($resShpIdx);
               }

...


               $newResLayer->addFeature($resShape);


Any help will be greatly appreciated.
