G'Day all,
As a relative newbie to this space I'm still grappling with some of the
basic concepts such as how to optimise the management of multi-layered
shapefiles.
For example, we have been given a single shape file by a researcher and it
contains 100+ layers (eg: boundaries, fish1, birds2, ...n)
Because we did not know any differently, I uploaded the shapefile to PostGIS
and then published it in GeoServer as a single layer.
We have prepared 100+ individual style sheets and uploaded them as well.
Now we go through a process of *republishing* the same shape file over and
over again, each time applying the next stylesheet. Not only is this really
tedious, it feels completely inelegant.
I note that in the final map (produced in GeoExplorer) that when we click on
one of these layers (eg layer=birds2) for feature info, columns for the
entire 100+ shapefile are returned. I can only guess then that I'm following
quite a ridiculous method for managing the shapefile.
And we're not dealing with just one shapefile with 100+ layers...we have
lots of them to manage.
Thus, this small flare ... a plea for wise counsel!
Thanks indeed,
JB
