Thanks Paul and Jochem Thats the answer I was hoping for. We have a hosted server running PostgreSQL/PostGIS/Mapserver running at www.gis.bush.org.nz hosting by limelyte. But no inhouse experience with even installing PostgreSQL.
We use MSDE2 inhouse but it has a 2GB limit. Being able to integrate CF with mapserver would be fantastic. Paul - are you querying ArcSDE with CF directly. ESRI have donated ArcSDE so .... where is the boundary between CF and mapserver and flash Mike NZERN ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Paul Hastings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 20:42:05 +0700 Jochem van Dieten wrote: > PostgreSQL should be able to handle this without a problem on > suitable hardware.
