Hi All, I know this will be a bit of an open question, but I am looking for a general answer.
Currently I use ESRI Shape files with my MapServer implementation (and this performs OK), but I am building a new server and I have installed PostgreSQL on this new server. So what I want to know is: 1. Are ESRI Shape files the best file format for MapServer? 2. Will storing all my data in PostgreSQL be faster (at rendering with php_mapscript) than ESRI Shape files? 3. Is there another options that is better (faster) than PostgreSQL or Shape files (e.g. another file format)?
