The dbase file is used but not required, it stores all the attribute
information, and the index (shx) is required by uDig for correct
functioning. uDig can use an existing .qix spatial index file as
well. (It is the mapserver index file).
Hope that answers your question,
Jesse

Can uDig handle the dBase and index file if I have one to go along
