This driver is built-in by default
ESRI Shapefile
up to 10 characters
the OGR shapefile implementation has a limitation to 4GB
ESRI Shapefile / DBF
esri-shapefile
Attribute names can only be up to 10 characters long; ESRI shapefiles can only store one kind of geometry per layer (shapefile); the driver knows to auto-extend string and integer fields (up to the 255 bytes limit imposed by the DBF format)
