[mapserver-users] Problem querying personal GDB

[Bistrais, Bob]

I see this is in the section for using a PostGIS layer.  Is that applicable for an ESRI Personal GDB?

Bob,

  You may need to add a "using unique" clause  like "using unique gid" http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html#data-access-connection-method

I am building an application with MapServer 6.0.2, and GeoMoose 2.6 on the front end.  One of the layers is contained in an ESRI personal Geodatabase, i.e. a Microsoft Access database.

This layer displays properly.  I can also do an Identify on it and get expected results.  It's when I try to do a Search (a select by attributes) when things fall apart.  Checking the error log, I see     msEvalExpression(): General error message. Cannot evaluate expression, no item index defined.

It's also worth noting that, if I convert the layer to shapefile and use that in the application, it will work.  But there's a few operational considerations that make it preferable to use the GDB.  So the problem seems to be with querying the MDB.  Does anyone have any ideas?
