Query database and display geo-coded loactions on the map

banumsbanums — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:38:18 GMT

Hi,

I am new to the flexviewer. I have locations with longitude & latitude in Oracle database.
Is it possible for the end user to do query/filter on these locations and display the results on map using the ArcGis Viewer for Flex?

Thanks for your help

Hi,
I'm not sure if there are any ready to use configurable widgets for this, maybe someone else can answer that?
But if you can make your own widget it's possible.
There are (at least) two roads to go, one way is to go through ArcGIS Server by creating a connection to the database in ArcMap and publish a service that you can query.
The other way (that I'm using my self) is to skip ArcGIS Server and retrieve the data directly into the flex appilcation. There are documentation for this here for example.
I'm accessing data in a MySQL database using PHP and httpservices, and then creates a graphic layer from it and add it to the map, works fine!
