[mapserver-users] Same database connection across multiple layers

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Write the connection into a separate file that you can INCLUDE into the main mapfile  https://mapserver.org/mapfile/include.html

Aihe: [mapserver-users] Same database connection across multiple layers

Is there a way to set the db connection only once for multiple layers.
We have a very dynamic mapfile with lots of layers and its a pain to replace the db name when doing development or changing for a customer.  We are running ms4w as well.


In addition to this is it possible to set the connection string outside the mapfile.  Maybe as an option to the cgi script or something.
