[mapserver-users] Re: Can't WFS getFeature w/MapServer 6.0.1

[Steve Lime]

First, thanks for taking the time to dig into this, we appreciate the help.
Indeed there
were large changes between 5.6 and 6.0 due to some overall changes in the
parser
and query handling. I wouldn't have thought they would introduce any issues
specific
to a particular driver though.

It may be that the SDE code needs to simply be made more robust. If I supply
a patch
that does that can you test?
