Hi Radim,

Give the Projection document a good read specifically the "Important Notes" section which I believe answers your questions: https://mapserver.org/mapfile/projection.html#important-notes

There are no specific driver rules; for something like a PostGIS connection you should be able to follow the "Important Notes" above. MapServer will assume that you have configured the driver properly (in the case of PostGIS, setting the SRID as well, since PostGIS requires that parameter to do a projection)

Hi,
can you please explain how does re-projection of PostGIS layers work?
If there is a POSTGIS layer with DATA without "using srid=" but
PostGIS column has SRID defined, there is constraint for that SRID on
the column and geometries have SRID set, is it necessary to define
PROJECTION for that layer if SRID of the column is different from that
of mapfile?

For example, geometry column has SRID=4326, geometries have SRID set, mapfile:

NAME test
      PROJECTION
          "init=epsg:3857"
      END
      LAYER test
           CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
           DATA "geo FROM test"
      END
END

if a request comes to render a map in 3857, will be geometries
re-projected correctly from 4326 to 3857?
