Hello Bart!<br>Following your advice, I have installed MySQL and downloaded one public access shapefile, to let you (and everybody who wants to try this test) reproduce the results<br><br><br>Download it from <a href="http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/nationalatlas/hydrogm020.tar.gz">http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/nationalatlas/hydrogm020.tar.gz</a> that have 2 shapefiles : lines (rivers) and polygons (lakes).

to avoid MapServer to calculate anything about lengths, the result was the same. How is it possible? <br>I don't know if this is normal MapServer behavior and the cost of render labels is so high!<br><br>Thank you very much in advance for your answers<br>

Thank you very much for your answer,<br><br>Therefore, Should I think that Shapefiles / DBF data is not suitable for MapServer if the number of features in the shapefile is a "big" number like 473815 line strings in the Streets.shp? I've tried with MajHwys.shp<br>
(35295 linestrings features) labeling and using expressions and works ok. Streets.shp with its 473815 linestrings is rendered fast if there is not DBF access (not labeling neither expressions), but when DBF access is needed Mapservers hangs up!<br>
Will MySQL spatial data increase the speed and number of features that MapServer can manage?<br><br>Best regards<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/2/21, Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS) <<a href="mailto:bartvde@osgis.nl" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">bartvde@osgis.nl</a>>:</span><div>

It is because Mapserver cannot use any attribute indexes on the DBF.<br> <br> Put your shapefile in a spatial database like PostGIS I would suggest and<br> create attribute indexes.<br> <br> Best regards,<br> Bart<br> <br>
