http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/doc/latest/gmt.conf.html#calendar-time-parameters It would be nice to use the same.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly but strftime can do this:

OGR_DATETIME_FORMAT = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"

gives for example 2016-01-10T08:25:12 and

OGR_DATETIME_FORMAT = "%Y-%W-%dT%H:%M:%S"

gives 2016-01-10T08:25:12 for the same time - 10.1.2016 is on week two (strftime: %W = Week number with the first Monday as the first day of week one (00-53))

Sorry, it was me who misunderstood your question/suggestion. I thought that printing with the above format was not possible yet and that's why I pointed to what GMT does. But if GDAL can do it already, than sorry for the noise.

I think that there needs to be separate options for date and datetime, i.e., OGR_DATE_FORMAT and OGR_DATETIME_FORMAT.

Folks,

The OGRFeature::GetFieldAsString returns date/time fields formatted in non-standard way. For example date is output as "year/month/day" as more usual "year-month-day". This causes problems in many programs.

I suggest adding a new config option OGR_DATE_FORMAT, which, if set, would make the method return date/time formatted according to it. I suggest that we use the strftime and its format argument as the target for the new option.

The implementation is complicated a bit when milliseconds and timezones are involved since they are not included in the struct tm used by strftime. I suggest that we assume seconds are formatted as :\d\d in the format and simply add milliseconds (as .\d\d\d) and timezone (as [+-]\d\d(:\d\d)), if they exists, after the second.

Do you think this needs a RFC?

I'm willing to implement the changes.

Ari
