[mapserver-users] connection to a non spatial datasource

I used the method last year to render points from (and lines) from SQL 
Server.  The biggest problem is that Mapserver/OGR does not implicitly 
use any spatial index when using a VRT entry of SrcSQL (carefully read 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html).

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
