[mapserver-users] Need example of using a tabular select to retieve metadata for a label

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

I think you’d have to associate geometries with the text regardless since MapServer will always apply a spatial filter (based on extent) in addition to whatever non-spatial filter you populate. I could see tying the extent of your project – either a rect or some fancy geometry to each bit of disclaimer text so the spatial filter would always evaluate to true. Might also be possible to use non-map coordinates. You see that typically with inline layers. I might have other ideas if you provided a bit more detail…

I’m trying to use a tabular (no spatial field) SQL metadata call to populate a disclaimer notice in a image output.

Anyone tried this and have an example handy?

Thanks
