<HTML><BODY><div>Good time of the day, may be it is my misconception, but I used to think that generation of GetCapabilities xml doesn’t require checking that the data source of the layer is valid and it really has data etc. I was thinking that this is just a matter of converting metadata from mapfile to xml format by certain rules.</div><div>But it appears, that it is different from what I have been thinking. I am having a wms service that reads data from inherited postgresql table (table inherits data from many thousands of childs table) and it takes infinity to generate getcapabilities xml document:<br><a href="https://gis.lesprojekt.cz/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/dima/maps/olu/european_openlandusemap.map&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities">https://gis.lesprojekt.cz/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/dima/maps/olu/european_openlandusemap.map&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities</a></div><div>With other wms services that use just ordinary tables as data source it (this instance of mapserver) works just fine.</div><div>So my questions is : is it possible to change the code of mapserver not to check all child tables and instead just generate getcapabilities xml from the metadata in mapfile?</div><div>Or may be someone had this issue and found other solution?</div><div>I think in older versions of mapserver (this concrete instance is version 7.2.0 ) inherited tables didn’t cause any troubles.</div><div>Sincerely, Dimitri</div><div> </div></BODY></HTML>
