Indee, it can't work. I must apologize for that inacurate hint. PGCLIENTENCODING is really an environment variable recognized by the PostgreSQL client library. I thought that it was a OGR configuration option, which isn't. So that's explain why --config doesn't work for that. (GDAL/OGR has a few configuration options that can be either set by setting an OS environmenent variable or with the --config command line parameter.) > > Regards, Casper > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org > [mailto:gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] På vegne af Casper Børgesen > Sendt: 7. september 2009 08:57 > Til: gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org > Emne: SV: [gdal-dev] PostgreSQL, PostGIS and ogr2ogr > > Okay and thank you for your answers! > > Since using the '--config PGCLIENTENCODING format' option didn't make a > difference, my next guess is that the encoding of the shapefile might be the > problem.
