[mapserver-users] OGRinfo works, but a MapServer test mode=map DOES NOT

[Eduardo Kanegae]

Thanks Brent and Jeff for your suggestions.

My old scenario was:
- the system was running fine on Windows 2003 Server 64bits with SQL
2008+ MsSqlSpatial Lib using MapServer with ODBC

But now, the server was upgraded to Windows Server 2008 64bits with SQL 2008R2.

And the only way I finally found to put it to work was:
- use MSSQL OGR Driver but DOT NOT use geometry field type of SQL 2008
( absolutely slow! )
- instead of 2008 field I translate 2005 geom field ( MsSqlSpatial
lib) to WKT using:

... ST.AsText(v.geom_2005) AS geom_2008

And now it´s working!

Thanks for helping.

best
