[ms4w-users] Thematic Mapping based on Joine MS SQL Server Table

[Jeff McKenna]

I don't see "thematic classification based on joined field" in the list 
of additions to MapServer 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc).  If you have funding and 
want this added to the next release, send a message to the MapServer-dev 
email list to let them know (info at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/community/mailinglists/mapserver-dev/).
