Hello, I'm working with a MIF file, contaning just 5 multipolygons (in form of "regions", in MapInfo terms). But the file weights 700MB. So, the multipolygons are really big. I'd like to transform my file to SHP or PostGIS using ogr2ogr, but any operation takes forever.
My current approach is to use -sql flag this way: ogr2ogr -sql "select * from my_layer where fid = 1" my_layer.shp my_layer.mif But after 2 hours, it still continues working. I've activated debug, and last text I've seen is: "Shape: Treating as encoding 'ISO-8859-1'." All the clip operations I've tried with ogr2ogr have the same problems: I have to wait hours, and after that, I just get a SHP of 100 Bytes. So, I kill the process. Should I be more patient? Or is there any smarter approach to handle this kind of file?
