Re: [mapserver-users] Calculate length!
Hi, The GDAL version is not what is essential but the version of the dependent Spatialite library. GDAL must be compiled with such Spatialite version that has support for ST_Length. The error means either that Spatialite is missing totally or that it is of too old version and in this case it is obvioustly the latter. However, there may be a simple solution. ST-functions are new synonyms but your older Spatialite version may support the native name that Spatialite has used for the function https://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/xmlBlob/spatialite-sql-latest.html. Try if SELECT glength(geometry) happens to work. Otherwise you must try to find a GDAL version that is compiled with more fresh Spatialite. -Jukka Rahkonen- Schylberg Lars wrote: I guess this must be a version problem.

Re: [mapserver-users] Calculate length!
Hi Jukka, You were right about that is possible to calculate length of a line in a KML file in Mapserver via ogr and sqlite. It is possible with a VRT file. I had some weekend fun learning. This will be useful in another project I am doing! The only trouble I found, was that I could not get the relativeToVRT=1 to work when I did an inline specification of the ovf in the mapfile. The only way to get the inline ScrDataSource specification to work was to use a full path description to the kml file location. In most cases I like to use relative location specifications. Shapepath specification in the mapfile didn’t help /Lars Example follows: Make a ovf-file: doc_test.ovf OGRVRTDataSource OGRVRTLayer name='doc_test' SrcDataSource relativeToVRT=1./doc_test.kml/SrcDataSource SrcSQL dialect='sqlite' select geometry, Name, cast(OGR_STYLE as chartater(32)) as 'LINE_STYLE', cast(ST_length(geometry, 4857) as integer(12)) as 'DISTANCE' FROM 'Fibertech solution' where ST_GeometryType(geometry) LIKE 'LINESTRING%'/SrcSQL /OGRVRTLayer /OGRVRTDataSource The class from the new mapfile. LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION doc_test.ovf DATA 'doc_test' NAME kml_example GROUP LINES TYPE LINE STATUS ON CLASSITEM LINE_STYLE CLASS EXPRESSION @msn_ylw-pushpin4 STYLE COLOR 250 0 0 WIDTH 2.5 END LABEL TEXT (Distance: + '[DISTANCE]' + ' meters ' + '#' + '[Name]') WRAP '#' SIZE MEDIUM COLOR 255 100 100 POSITION AUTO END END ……. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] Calculate length!
Hi Jukka, That is right and that is why I wrote about conversion to spatialite. Next questions is when it gets interesting. How can I get Mapserver to understand that it is sqlite dialect in the DATA statement? If this would be the case: CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION doc_test.kml DATA select st_length(geometry) from line_demo limit 5 As far as I understand it defaults to regular OGR sql. I was looking for an answer a couple of months ago but didn’t find any solution. Somewhere I have seen that pszDialect can be set to SQLITE. But can that be done in the mapfile? I have also seen in old message from You about a undocumented workaround with VRT Is that the solution? I have a similar issue myself where I would like work against another OGR format but with sqlite syntax. /Lars From: Rahkonen Jukka (MML) [mailto:jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi] Sent: den 13 mars 2015 10:58 To: Schylberg Lars; mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Calculate length!
