Re: [pmapper-users] data types for search.xml

I think querying an OGR layer based on Esri personal geodb uses
completely different mechanisms behind than querying layers based on
x/y values stored in an ODBC enabled DB. All should work using the
syntax of layers based on shapes, but some parts seem not.

In my opinion the whole queryByAttribute and filter part (which for me
is a quite essential part) is of low importance to the Mapserver
developers, old bugs, an incomplete documentation and so on. Other
things like placing labels in sophisticated ways seem to have somewhat
higher importance.
