I believe Frank's work extends beyond WFS as well to standard MapServer queries, or if that's not possible yet it can be.
Remember also that you have query templates at your disposal which can be used to generate any number of text-based formats.

Puneet, Well, there are likely some exceptions that aren't useful for this purpose. For instance, OGR can write to PostGIS but it is hard to stream the resulting dataset back over http. > Is there a list of formats that OGR can write out to?

If that list says "Creation - Yes" then you have a good chance of being able to use it with WFS - GetFeature. >> Note that this is only in trunk. >> > > Is this scheduled for version 6 of MS? Yes, it will be in MapServer 6. Is is already completely implemented and available for use from trunk nightly snapshots or svn.
