[GRASS-user] Extremely large vector coverages...

[Jonathan Greenberg]

GISers:

	I'm hoping to get a list of programs/databases that can deal with the 
storage and querying of arbitrarily large vector (polygon) coverages (>> 
2gb)?  My understanding is, for instance, PostGIS (and the various 
front-end interfaces) can deal with these types of data, but file 
formats such as shapefiles cannot.  Please let me know either through 
the mailing list or directly via email -- I'm happy to post a summary of 
the responses in a few days.  Can any of the newer ESRI formats handle 
large polygon coverages?
