What do you need to know about filter in PostGIS?
The filter must be a valid SQL string corresponding to the logic normally following the “WHERE” keyword in a SQL query. So, for example, to render only roads with 6 or more lanes, use a filter of “num_lanes >= 6”.
Which is faster a PostGIS or a table?
For maps with relatively few features (100s), PostGIS will often be faster. For maps with high feature density (1000s), PostGIS will always be slower. If you are finding substantial draw performance problems, it is possible that you have not built a spatial index on your table.
What are the GIS objects supported by PostGIS?
The GIS objects supported by PostGIS are a superset of the “Simple Features” defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC). As of version 0.9, PostGIS supports all the objects and functions specified in the OGC “Simple Features for SQL” specification. PostGIS extends the standard with support for 3DZ,3DM and 4D coordinates. 4.1.1.

Can you add a PostGIS layer to a MapServer file?
Compile and install MapServer, with whatever options you desire, including the “–with-postgis” configuration option. In your MapServer map file, add a PostGIS layer. For example:
