[mapserver-users] STYLEITEM AUTO or similar for other connection types?

[Jackey Cheung]

Hi Tamas,

Thanks for your reply. I've made the OGR part right, and can generate maps.

However, the work I have on hand is not satisfied yet. Basically, the
project uses MapInfo+Oracle. So in order to make it work on both MapInfo
and MapServer, I have to populate two style columns, MI_STYLE populated by
MapInfo automatically, and the OGR_STYLE populated by hand or extra program
(or script). I have used ogr2ogr to convert data originally. But ogr2ogr
can only populate the OGR_STYLE column. Whilst MapInfo can only populate
the MI_STYLE column. I still figuring out a solution to this.
