[mapserver-users] Mapserver WMS time support with Oracle

[Stefan Schantz]

Hi,
we had the same issue.
When we call mapserver via cgi, we set the apache environment for oracle like
this:
SetEnv NLS_LANG=German_Germany.UTF8
SetEnv NLS_DATE_FORMAT="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS"

So, we can use a MapServer supported time format.

When we call mapserver via fastcgi, we set the environment for oracle in a
script:


#!/bin/sh
export ORACLE_HOME="(...)/instantclient_11_2
export ORACLE_BASE="(...)/instantclient_11_2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="(...)/instantclient_11_2
export TNS_ADMIN="(...)/instantclient_11_2
export NLS_LANG=German_Germany.UTF8
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS"
MAPSERV="(...)/mapserv.fcgi"
MS_MAPFILE="(...)/wms_geoportal.map" exec ${MAPSERV}

regards,
Stefan
