[GRASS-user] v.select disjoint operation. Grass 7.8.2

[Christopher Lloyd]

 Hi Markus, Thanks for your reply - sure. In current and previous successful runs of the disjoint operation in v.select I have input shapefile subsets of up to 2 GB in file size (file size just the shp file extension itself - not dbf etc.). Shapefiles of 2.5 GB size failed and had to be split. These correspond to 10,659,000 features and 12,159,000 features respectively. I don't believe that the error is linked to any intrinsic limitation of the shapefile format as I also receive the same error when I input to Grass the (unsplit) polygon datasets in geojson or geopackage format.
Best wishes, Chris

So clearly the problem that I had lies with some file size limitation with the v.select 'disjoint' algorithm - also failing with one input file prior using the v.extract algorithm. The original (large) input files input to grass ok using v.in.ogr,

The vector limit is as follows:

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Performance#Large_vector_data_processing
--> In all GRASS versions, the limit with topology is at time 2^31 - 1
(about 2 billion) features per vector map.

This said, perhaps v.select lacks a proper declaration?

Could you tell us how many vector features per map you are dealing
with (say: those which work and those which fail)?

Best wishes, Markus
