[mapserver-users] Saving mapfiles into GPKG and Spatialite?

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

While playing with GPKG and Spatialite which offer a nice way for delivering data in ready-to-use format I have been wondering if it could be possible to store also mapfiles or GGIS project files and styles into the same database. Spatialite has a special tool for importing XML documents so I believe that it could be used for storing QGIS files as well as SLD styles. But is there any simple way for importing/exporting Mapserver mapfiles to/from SQLite? Export is probably needed and therefore there may not be any real advantage over zipping the db and mapfile into same package. But I cannot imagine how it could be made to work so simply that Mapserver admin would only drop the GPKG into some place and users could start using it from "http://server.org/cgi-bin/mapserv?map="select map from maps where map_id=1"
