[postgis] Re: Mapserver

[gispmpf]

First , thanks for replay so fast this massage!
What i mean with the last question is : if i have a database with a
table with a geom field and i need to show the points  of this
polygon  in a web browser , i have to use the Mapserver to read this
points and draw them on the browser. And i dont have any shp files
just dxf files of the drawings.

Thanks , again
