Dear Markus,

Thank your for your reply.
I agree completely with you. But I can handle a file with almost 4.500.000 polygons (=area?) on ArcGis. Have you any suggestion of how can I skipt this trouble?

Do you have access to an equivalent (in terms of hardware) GNU/Linux box to test whether you see the same issue ?

You could also detach the attribute table from the map (v.db.connect -d) and see if this solves the problem.

For your info: on my GNU/Linux box exporting 20,000 polygons with attributes takes about 3 minutes, but without attributes only 5 seconds and 120,000 polygons without attributes 15s. So, most of the time seems to be spent with writing the dbf file.

[some testing...]

Actually it's mainly reading the dbf file that takes time. If I put the (20,000 polygon) attribute data into an sqlite database, export "only" takes 53s and with postgres 1min26s. Whereas with a dbf attribute table, export takes roughly the same time whatever the format (tried GML, DGN, MapInfo - but the latter also uses dbf if I'm not mistaken.)

And I seem to remember that there were some issues with the DBF driver in windows.

        miltinho,

        remember the 100000 areas - a non-trivial size.
