Actually the SHP part is setting the limit. DBF part can be much bigger and I have myself one with 32 GB. See also http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3236 Spatialite has worked fine for me as a target when merging shapefiles but only up to about 8 GB file size. After that appending new data became too slow. It was a long time ago and gdal Spatialite driver may be better now. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
