[Mapserver-users] Data Connection with MS-SQL database

[Swaminathan, Gayathri]

Jenu:

I am not sure you have trouble figuring something similar to the
scenario below, but here goes it,

1) Data in MSSQL
2) Convert to Access MDB format
2) Export to ESRI Shapefile- using a tool like MDB2Shapefile
http://www.consultoria.eti.br/enus/download.php?file=3
3) Export shapefile to Postgres/Postgis using shp2pgsql
4) Have a layer in map file connecting to Postgis to implement this 
5) Join search results from table in SQL with the table in Postgres to
obtain the_geom
