[mapserver-users] Ogrtindex and attribute data

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
Can somebody affirm that using ogr tileindex is breaking the access to
the attribute date of the real datasets, for example shapefiles?
Somebody was trying to use WMS GetFeatureInfo with a ogrtindex layer and
failed and so did I in the test I made for verification.  Now I have
been trying myself to classify an orgtindex layer but
CLASSITEM/EXPRESSION does not select anything. FILTERITEM/FILTER does
not work either.  Both systems work if I change a huge combined
shapefile in place of the tileindex connection and without EXPRESSION or
FILTER Mapserver is drawing all the features OK.
 
If access to attribute data is not implemented, wouldn't it be cool to
have it?  Multigigabyte shapefiles are tedious to update but I have a
reason to use files instead of a database in this case.
