I prepared a new Spatialite database from the OSM data of Finland. It contains 230000 points, 480000 lines and 440000 polygons and takes 700 MB on a disk. I made indexes for everything that is used in the WHERE selections and the result is just wonderful. If there is just few features to render the msDrawMap() takes just 0.01 - 0.10 seconds per layer (1000x800 sized output). And my computer is eight year old Windows WP with IDE disks and 1 GB of memory. Rendering lots of features takes naturally longer time but I do believe that technically GDAL/OGR/Mapserver side is in the order now and there is not much room for further improvements there. Best way for improving the speed of the service from this point is to generalize the data for rendering at small scales. Spatialite has Simplify() and SimplifyPreserveTopolygy() functions so it will be very easy to create simplified versions of the data into the same database. Features which are unreasonably small for rendering at the target scale can be sorted out at the same. I can imagine that one day some clever individual will write a tool that automatically runs SQL script which creates a set of new tables with simplified geometries into Spatialite and at the same time writes a corresponding mapfile which collects those tables as scale dependent layers under one Mapserver layer group. By the way, it would be very nice if the full stop at TopologyExceptions could be avoided. My Spatialite databases are created by ogr2ogr and self-intersections did not stop OGR then so perhaps it can be made to tolerate them also in this case. Now I fixed this problem in a crude way by running "DELETE from osm_polygon where ST_IsValid(GEOMETRY)<=0". -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
