[mapserver-users] File GDB performance vs Shapefile Performance

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

My interactive mapping application is currently using Shapefiles to store the contour lines.  At 1.5 GB the Shapefiles are rather large.  Instead I am considering using a File Geodatabase which will only take up about 500 MB.

Is there a significant performance loss between Shapefiles and File Geodatabases?  And are there any performance tips and tricks for using File Geodatabases?

Thanks

Sincerely,
