[mapserver-users] HOWTO Split Large SHP Files

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Luca,

I don't think there is a general tool to do that, but if you know C it
is pretty easy to use shplib to write utility to read the shape file and
dump specific records to different files. You can also do this using
Perl and the XBase and shplib addins.

Why do you want to split the file?
performance? have you tried building a shptree index?
