PostGIS is Refraction Research's spatial extension to the PostgreSQL enterprise database. PostGIS is supported directly by MapServer and must be compiled into MapServer to work. In most cases, PostgreSQL and PostGIS libraries (.dll or .so) must be present in the system's path environment for functionality to be present. This includes the libpq and libpostgis libraries. Map file example
For example: LAYER NAME pg_test TYPE POLYGON CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS CONNECTION "host=mapserver.com dbname=gmap user=julio" DATA "wkb_geometry FROM province" CLASS ... END END For more info about PostGIS and MapServer, see PostGIS docs at http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/. |
