Hi,
Madhura, I saw that last year your wrote the plug-in for importing ESRI Shape files. I found a short description of the format, and I wrote it here [1], but I'm not sure if that corresponds. Could you please check?
Also, is there any way you can provide me with a sample .shp file to test the new import plugin? :)
On a related note, Michal, do you think docSQL is still supported? I saw that their last update was in 2009, and their website is not available [2]. I downloaded the archive, but their English readme is in Deutsch, and their Deutsch readme is in English, but still not very helpful, so I did not manage to get around it. Do you think we should keep this import format?

Yes, the description there is fine :)

Tracker artifact [1] contains some of the files I used for testing
purposes. And the link in Michal's comment there points to some additional resources.

Thanks. I tested two .shp files and each of them produced a single table with a single column called 'SPATIAL' and values similar to: [GEOMETRY - 2.2 KiB] [GEOMETRY - 3.6 KiB] etc.

Well, the .shp file contains only the geometry data. So if
you submitted only the .shp file these results are correct. Additional data is in the .dbf file and you need to have PHP compiled with the dBase extension to import this file. More information on how you can submit multiple files can be found at [1].
