[mapserver-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Mapserver 7+oracle - wfs getFeature with filter on numeric field

And setting it to true doesn't make more sense.
I guess it is already not used when the source is postgis

Thank you very much for your help in this

The matchCase triggers a string comparison. matchCase doesn't seem to make 
sense for a number. 

That being said, I can look into the specific case of matchCase and a 
numeric comparison and make sire that it isn't used.

getFeature with filter on numeric field

Is there a documentation that says that it is not?
Folks from gdal list also think that it is not supported...I guess you are 
right. But as I said on the gdal list, many countries are using a comma as 
a decimal separator....what other people on the planet do?
Anyway the comma is another problem that I try to manage later......

For now, We have an application that generate and launch spatial queries 
on WFS, matchCase=false by default. Before modifying the code I want to 
understand what is going on....
It seems,when using numeric value, that matchCase as no impact in PostGIS, 
but it is important in oracle to be set to true

gml_type = auto, returns double in postgis and oracle, so that is fine
A WFS getFeature with the operator PropertyIsEqualTo AND matchCase=false
using this value -64.225 
PostGis: it works 
Oracle (from mike's test): it fails...matchCase must be set to true

A WFS getFeature with the operator PropertyIsEqualTo AND matchCase=false
using this value -64,225 
PotsGis: not tested 
Oracle: it fails...matchCase must be set to true

Is there a reason why, with oracle, matchCase should be set to true when 
using numeric value, or that could be fixed?

Its not clear to me that commas as the decimal separator is supported in 
XML/GML. I can't find any documentation to indicate that it is. Can you 
point some out to me?

In any event, I didn't test with comma decimal separators.

Thanks Mike for having a look at it.
Your decimals are separated by a comma or a dot?

Steve, 

I tested this out with 7.1 with numeric type fields and it works for me as 
long as I don't use matchCase="false". That seems to kick it in to a 
string comparison. matchCase="true" and just PropertyIsEqualTo work fine.

In our metadata we use "gml_types"   "auto" when the database knows the 
types and explicit declarations (eg "gml_attributename_type"   "integer") 
when it doesn't work.

The key is that the field type has to report as a numeric type or the 
backend treats it as a string comparison.

Precision: we are using MS7.1
Removing matchcase part makes oracle, and postgis, crash.
I have this error: 

<ows:ExceptionReport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

The problem might be the decimals?

can you try the same request without the "matchCase" part and report
back please?
