[postgis-users] problems with query msPOSTGISLayerGetShape()

[Richard Greenwood]

I have a simple mapserver/postgis running with mapserver on windows and 
postgresql on linux. All the recent discussion of postgis on cygwin 
motivated me to give it a try.

I can map from cygwin-postgis, but I can not retrieve attribute data with 
the mapserver query or nquery modes. I get the following error:

msPOSTGISLayerGetShape(): Query error. Error executing POSTGIS SQL 
statement (in FETCH ALL): EXPLAIN VERBOSE SELECT * FROM join_region - Error 
with POSTGIS data variable. You specified ''.

My linux setup, which works correctly, is postgresql 7.2.3, postgis 0.7.3
My cygwiwn setup, which fails, is postgresql 7.3.2, postgis 0.7.4

Everything else is basically the same.

Can anyone offer any thoughts on this one?

Thanks,
Rich
