Hi all,

I have exported a Mapinfo file into postgres using the following statement:

ogr2ogr  -f  "PostgreSQL" -a_srs "EPSG:8913" PG:"host=localhost
user=mysusername dbname=mydatabase password=mypass"  mytabfile.TAB

but when I want to access by mapserver layer I just don't know how to make
que query for the geometry information because I found examples using
select the_geom from mytable
but this work fine with a shapefile  but with mapinfo have no idea about the
geometry part, so please if someone has an example or solution let me know

regards

karina
