[mapserver-users] Vector Data Formats

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

My favourites are shapefiles and Spatialite. Shapefile format has filesize limits at 2/4 GB, but we have one very well working layer with +300 GB data in shapefiles which are used through ogrtileindex. Remember .qix indexing.  With attribute filters shapefiles may get slow because attributes of shapefiles can’t be indexed otherwise than by sorting with sortshp utility. If advanced filters are needed then a properly indexed Spatialite DB is my favourite format.

Does anyone have any opinions on which vector data formats are preferred when serving up file-based data sources?
