[mapserver-users] Possible application questions

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

WMS and WFS are ogc standards to share maps over the web, intranet ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service

You will not export data from the database. Mapserver will be connected to 
your mysql DB and render maps as a service.
Those services can be viewed by gis softwares or web applications

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reassuring news.  We have found our possible solution.
The CRM software has not yet been modified, but it will have the two 
fields for the Longitude and Latitude.
Other fields will be used as well, and we will have to add more for those.
When you say it has to provide wms/wfs services, what does that mean?  I 
found the 9nitials, but what does it mean?
Is it a special format?  Like I need to export the data from the data base 
into a certain format?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I am learning:)
Thanks

Joseph

hi Joseph
Yes mapserver can be used for your application by providing wms/wfs 
services
Here are some links that can help
#connect to mysql
http://mapserver.org/input/vector/mysql.html

#filters...Runtime substitution
http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html

Do you have latitude/longitude data in your database, or any other 
georeference that can be used to render on a map?
Steve

Hello,

I am writing to ask if MapServer will work for our application.

We are working on a project that will allow us to place on a map of our 
country various projects.  We want to be able to filter them based on 
various pieces of information, including, for example:

year of project
population
project budget
etc...

We are compiling the data in a CRM(MySQL database), and want to use the 
data from the CRM to feed the mapping software.

1 - can I map the type fo information that I need?
2 - can we use the data directly from the CRM database if we tell the 
mapping software what data to use(so t can be read on the fly, live from 
the database?), or does it need to be exported before using in the 
mapping software?
3 - It it needs to be in its own exported format, how to I get it from 
MtSQL to the correct format?


Thanks for any and all help.

Joseph
