[mapserver-users] Using spatialite with mapserver

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi again,

Tried what ogrinfo sees in case of two geometries. It does not look good.

FID Column = rowid
Geometry Column = geom1
geom2: Binary (0.0)
OGRFeature(test2):1
  geom2 (Binary) = 0001110F0000958B843BA9EC354126C76C9BD95A5A41958B843BA9EC35412
6C76C9BD95A...
  POINT (1436841.2324912299 6908774.4285142776)

OGRFeature(test2):2
  geom2 (Binary) = 0001110F000081AE1AFBAEEF3541FB1B8FFA035B5A4181AE1AFBAEEF3541F
B1B8FFA035B...
  POINT (1437614.9808758798 6908943.9149846984)

So that means than only the first geometry can be user with OGR. Next I tried to create a spatial view with spatialite-gui by selecting only geom2 into the view. This fails too

D:\ms4w\data>ogrinfo berlin.sqlite test3
INFO: Open of `berlin.sqlite'
      using driver `SQLite' successful.
ERROR 1: Underlying layer test2 for view test3 has not expected geometry column
name (geom1 instead of geom2)

Layer name: test3
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 0
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
FID Column = ROWID
Geometry Column = geom2

This looks like an OGR bug, I have correct info in views_geometry_columns (refering to geom2 of the main table) and in geometry_columns (both geom1 and geom2 has records).

For now, forget multiple geometries and create new single geometry tables and enjoy the speed of Spatialite and Mapserver.

Hi,

The SELECT alternative works fine for me but I do not have multiple geometries. I made a very fast test on Spatialite side and it seems to be possible to run "Recover geometry column" and "Create spatial index" for multiple geometries but I did not test the result with Mapserver.

I would recommend you to check first your geometry_columns table and see it there is a line for the geometry you want to use and if spatial index is OK. If they are OK make a simplified test. Create a single geometry table as
CREATE table test as
SELECT geom1, attr1... FROM...
Do "Recover geometry column" and "Create spatial index" things for the new table and have a try with Mapserver.

GDAL version must be 1.9 or higher or things will be far too slow.

Hi,
I'm try-ing to use spatialite with mapserver.

is this mapfile configuration ok for spatialite ?

    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION '/..path-to../spatialite_file.sqlite'
    DATA 'SELECT field1, field2, field3, geometry from table'

It seem don't work.

Instead work perfectly this other configuration:

    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION '/home/vector/vettoriali/db_catasto/regione_toscana/adt_toscana.sqlite'
    DATA 'table'

Unfortunately this second configuration don't allow to choose the geometry field , necessary when spatialite table as two or more geometry field.

Thx,
