Hello group,
for a gis-project i have to use microsoft-slq-server as a datastore.
As i'm not very familiar with Geoserver (just beginner),
- is there any way to get a plugin for mssql,
No datastore has been written, yet.
- alternative i want to know, if and how i could put some scripting (php, perl) between geoserver and database,
Not sure exactly what you mean here. If you do scripting you'd probably have to write some java code to communicate with it.
- at least is there any java/geoserver-guru, who would be able and willing to write a database-connector (for the last, please drop me a note with the amount of charge at frank.durstewitz@anonymised.com)
Definitely, I can contact you offlist.
If this could not be archived, does anybody know about another free or cheap mapserver, which does it with microsoft sqlserver? Should be running under Windows 2003 Server. WFS must not.
MapServer - http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ is supposed to be able to use all OGR data sources, and MS-SQL is one. It's a good bit harder to set up than GeoServer. Tatuk is always bandied about as a cheap, non-open source option, and they're .net stuff I believe, and says they support mssql. But it's not as cheap as I'd have thought: https://shop.tatukgis.com/Purchase/ShopList.aspx#IS
best regards,
Chris
Thanks for reading.
Frank
PS:
Changing the database is not an option, client will drop the project before changing to PostGreSQL 
I hope this is the right group to ask for and this is not an ot.
