Hi, PostGIS is probably the best option for Geoserver but Mapserver has a feature that might be worth copying into Geoserver: vector tileindex. It works in a similar way than image mosaic in Geoserver. A shapefile (or some other vector source) keeps the footprints of the native vector files and it is used as an index. We have in our Mapserver a layer with 2315 shapefiles, total size about 700 GB and total number of features about 1.5 milliards (1500 millions) and it works pretty well through OGR tileindex and native shapefiles. I have no interest in dumping those 700 GB into PostGIS or Oracle. Read http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/ogr.html, TILEINDEX with OGR.

I would probably save myself the effort and dump the whole lot into PostGIS using a simple loop and either ogr2ogr or shppsql, just remember to leave creating the indexes until the end.

We're talking about 2*60*26 shapefiles=3120. It's basically a grid overlay that you would put on top of a base layer. Each shape file is non-overlapping. Also at a given zoom level, say OSM's zoom < 10, I'd want the 100km files to be shown, and beyond that, the 1km shape files. I have ogr running, but what would be the recommended format to convert the files to, in order bulk import them. I'm just looking for the easiest solution to do this.
