[gdal-dev] Vector geospatial data format for massive quantities of (poly)lines

[Chris Hanson]

  An application my client is pursuing involves generating and displaying
linework (contours) for state-sized areas. These will be (among other
things) displayed via Geoserver.

  We are able to generate the contour data with gdal, but the output is now
exceeding the 2GB format limit of Shapefiles.

  I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a format or other
strategy for handling large data like this? I think in the end we may end
up breaking it up into tiles, but figured I'd ask first.
