Hi Andreas

It depend of what you need to do with the data.
If it is only for simple query on the map, you can use the dbf.

To make a layer queryable, you have to add a TEMPLATE "something" in the 
layer in the mapfile. The text between quotes("something") doesnt mean 
anything in this case, but you must write some word.
see 
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/user.query.html#user.query.mapfile
Then add the id of the column in the dbf you want to use as main 
identificator and set a METADATA element in the mapfile
see 
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/user.query.html#user.query.mapfile.metadata
in the exemple, you can see you can also specify if the parameter is a 
integer or a string.
the "query_returned_attributes" paramater let you specify which parameters 
will be returned by the query and displayed in the web page under the map, 
in case you only want a few.
If you want all the parameters, do not use "query_returned_attributes", all 
parameters are returned by default.

See http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/user.query.html for details.

Regards
Oliver
