[Mapserver-users] MySQL and Mapserver

[spencer@dmsolutions.ca (Paul Spencer)]

Bart,

if you are interested in point geometries only, there is a new format in 
OGR to set up a virtual layer that can draw columns from any ODBC data 
source and map two of the columns to x and y locations.  We've used it 
for a couple of clients and it works very nicely.  If you are interested 
I can send you more details.

Cheers,

Paul
