Hi,
 
There is no limit for number of records in Mapserver.  Apache. that is used as 
http server in front of Mapserver does have timeout, which is 300 seconds by 
default but can be adjusted.  Generally speaking number of records does not 
tell much about how hard that layer is to handle, if anything.  It depends more 
on the vector data format, nature of the features (points vs. polygons with 
thousands of vertices), indexing etc.   However, I would say that normally 63 
thousand features is  not much and if Mapserver hits the timeout then the data 
are not suitable for Mapserver without some preprocessing.  So, please describe 
what kind of data you have.  Ogrinfo report about the layer would be a good 
addition.

        Aihe: [mapserver-users] Limit of records
        
        
        Hi,
        

        
        

        I have problems with some layers and I'm thinking that the reason is 
the number of records.
        For example, with a layer which has 63057 records, the result is the 
following: 
        500 Internal Server Error
        And Apache log error: 
        Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /var/cgi-bin/mapserv
        

        
        

        If exist a limit, which is the maximun number of records that mapserver 
can support?
        
        And in this case, what is the solution?
        

        
        

        Thanks in advance,
