Can you redirect me to an example using postgresql?
 
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm wanting to create a dynamic web application that creates a map from a shape 
file, but I want the data in the dbf to by dynamic.  In other words, I'd like 
to be able to dynamically supply the data values I want the map to use.  I'd 
like each county in a state to be assigned a color based on the attribute a 
user selects.  The possible attributes or attribute combinations are virtually 
endless.  Does anyone have an idea of how to supply this data from something 
rather than a dbf?  I"m willing to look at other boundary file formats if its 
easier to do what I need.

Thanks!

Billy

Use a database?

I'm wanting to use a relational database to supply the attributes instead of a 
dbf.  The data in the relational database gets updated frequently so I don't 
want to create dbf files..

So do it. Mapnik reads postgresql databases just fine.
