[mapserver-users] WMS TIME parameter slow

Sorry to jump late on this.

The use of the date_trunc function for postgis layers (described 
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_time.html) was from what I remember to 
allow queries (on a timestamp field)
like time=2001-01-01 expecting to get back  all values of the day 
regardless of the time set. I have entered a bug on it 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3382) to be able to review it 
before the 6.0 release.

regards,

But still beeing 32times slower than just a trivial compare on the index as in 1). The slowest run is the brute force 'date_trunc' without cast 3). So to me this is a bit voodo why postgres refuses to scan the indices in proper speed in 2) and 3).
