Hi, I am combining some GIS data where each layer is divided to around thousand separare shapefiles by mapsheets. Now I would like to store all the 35000 shapefiles to something that is more easy to handle. At first pushing each layer to own Spatialite database feeled perfect, but I have problems with one layer which has rather lot of data. Appending shapefiles one by one to Spatialite database gets too slow after the database file has reached a size of around 6 gigabytes. Up till 3-4 gigabyte file size appending data to Spatialite is pretty fast and because it is a database I guess I will use that for small layers. But what might be the fastest vector format that ogr supports to collect the big layer (thousand shapefiles with total size of about 10 gigabytes) together? I would prefer some file based format because data goes to long-time storage, but I can use Oracle or PostGIS in between if it is faster to do the conversion in two steps. What is recommended? Shapefiles, MapInfo tab, Oracle, PostGIS or something else?
