Hello,

Mapserver is not intended to perform DDL (create, insert, delete,
update) on a database. Its goal is to generate an image from raster
and vector formats.
If you're working with python, it should be trivial to connect to your
postgis database to perform some specific SQL queries. (Psycopg or
PyGreSql are 2 python lib that connect to Postgresql)
