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.

Oliver

Hi Oliver
Happy now I am gaining some extended ideas.
I have actually gone through notes on how to create project etc. I have
gained
some understangs I presume.
There another thing I would like to ask you.
The showing up of the mainmap. Does it have to do with how the data
organised
in the dbf? Because I am still using the dbf, not postGIS yet.
Thank you
Best regards
ANDEREAS

Hi Andreas
you can get informations for this in the wiki webpages:
http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowTo
especially
http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToCreateANewProject
http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToCreateALayerTree
also have a look at
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/user.config.html#user.config.server.maps_config.initial
about the use of the mapInfo.initialMapStates parameters in the main
server .ini file ("sampleProject.ini" in the "sampleProject" project,
the name of that file depend of your project name!)
