Hi people,
My name is Welton and I've been evaluating MapSuite for a couple of weeks and I've been experiencing some issues related to performance. The problem is related to a specific table layer in PostgreSQL which is filled with streets from all over the country (Brazil). For you to have an idea, we got over 3.5 million lines in that table. I dumped the table content into a shape file and instructed MapSuite to use it instead the PostgreSQL table, but it's even worse. The reason is that the shape file dumped is sized of 1.5 GBytes what results too many disk accesses. What I did was split that shape in many smaller shape files and I created a tiled index over these shapes. This process gave me a new very small shape file (shp, dbf and shx) which just points to those shape files resulted from the splitting process. I recompiled my source to point to that small shape file which theoretically should lead to the rest of the shape files and I got no street lines in my map. The question is: is it possible to use Tiled Shape Files with MapSuite? If not, how do you people can advise me to deal with large layers?
Thanks in advance! Any ideas you got will be appreciated!
