Re: [gdal-dev] Fastest vector format for combining shapefiles
I'm confused, I thought spatialite support was being added to ogr in 1.7 . http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html As to ESRI, I asked at the last DOI meeting prior to the ESRI conference this year about spatialite support and they said they had no plans to support it.

I don't know that ESRI uses OGR (vector), though I do know they are a GDAL (raster) user. ESRI will probably on support spatialite if some big government agency mandates it in order for them to fulfill a contract. There's no incentive for them to take on a competing format to their lock-in strategy (multiple kinds of a file geodatabase). PostGIS/PostgreSQL doesn't compete with their lock-in (which is ArcSDE), and slightly tweaks one of their competitors (Oracle), so I think that move makes sense in that context.

RE: [gdal-dev] Fastest vector format for combining shapefiles
Hello. I've been following this discussion with much interest. Spatialite really does standout to me as the mostly done format... as to ESRI interoperability, it will be easy to make a small tool/model for ESRI users that runs OGR in the background, so a simple checkout-checkin process can be achieved without much effort. If no one else builds it, I can make time for that. On the other hand it doesn't seem healthy to me that an OS GIS format should be tossed just because ESRI doesn't read it yet. It will if the format takes off the ground. (although implementing news formats in ArcGIS is difficult as can be seen by ziggis' example, and ESRI is not best known for including new formats) Just my 2cents.

Re: [gdal-dev] Date tag in geotiff files
Martin,
An easy-dirt way is just add Metadata Items to it. That is how I am doing:
output_dst.SetMetadataItem('STARTDATE', start_date.isoformat(), '')
output_dst.SetMetadataItem('STARTTIME', start_time.isoformat(), '')
That would work as long as you are the same guy who writes the piece of code
that read that data (stored on
GDAL auxiliary XML files, not on TIFF tags by the way).
Would be nice if we could use a standard Metadata schema.

There's a standard TIFF tag that GDAL can read write : 'TIFFTAG_DATETIME'. See

This should be interoperable with non GDAL based software.

[gdal-dev] Another Join issue with OGR/ODBC
Hi all, I am into some issues when trying to do a join using a shape file as a primary table and an ODBC (sql server 2005) connection as the secondary table. The issue has to do with the schema name. The following query (with a schema name: imsv7) works as expected: - ogrinfo ODBC:sa/t...@my_db -sql SELECT * FROM imsv7.COMPSMN WHERE COMPKEY=23533 This same query without a schema does not work (which is what I expected): - ogrinfo ODBC:sa/t...@my_db -sql SELECT * FROM COMPSMN WHERE COMPKEY=23533 My issue is that I need to give the schema name when doing a join but don't see how I can do that. Here is the join statement: - ogrinfo f:/msapps/ttt/sqlserver/Sewer_Manholes_20090818.shp -sql SELECT * FROM Sewer_Manholes_20090818 shp LEFT JOIN 'ODBC:sa/t...@my_db'.COMPSMN ON shp.COMPKEY = COMPSMN.COMPKEY where COMPKEY = 23533 The ODBC part of this join ends up being translated into an sql select statement without a schema and It fails.

Hej, Aleksey Naumov-2 wrote: My problem is being able to do scripting with GDAL using Python 2.5 (this version is important because of integration/compatibility with a number of other packages, mainly IPython), and I need to be able to do it on Windows. I attempted a few approaches, but could not figure out how to get all the pieces to work together: first things first: It is definitely possible to use the GDAL Python 1.6 bindings on Python 2.5 under Windows, cause http://www.box.net/shared/pp82vkdp8j that's what I'm running over here as well. Now I can't give a detailed installation instruction as it was a piecewise work, but following is what I can recall: 1) I'm using the installer from OSGeo4W to setup my geospatial toolbox. Using the advanced installation process the packages I'm considering important are python, gdal (or gdal16), gdal-python (or gdal16-python), python-numpy and python-win32. The latter two I'm not sure how essential they really are, I have them installed in any way. 2) To use version 1.6 of GDAL it is necessary to a) install the corresponding packages (see above) and b) switch to the 1.6 environment using gdal16.bat under osgeo4w\bin\gdal16.bat. However this works for the OSGeo4W shell only and is not applied system-wide. See http://n2.nabble.com/Python-1-6-bindings-under-Windows-td3337254.html my conversation with the list on this matter a few weeks ago. I've adjusted the %PYTHONPATH% to *C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal-16\pymod;C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python25\Lib* on my system to use gdal16 system-wide. 3) A minor thing. When importing the bindings I use *from osgeo import gdal* instead of *import gdal*. However that does not seem to be your problem as the latter alternative should give you a deprecation warning but not refuse to work altogether. 4) The Python version of OSGeo4W is the default one on my system. It works fine, I only had a few problems when installing third-party extensions that need correct registry settings for the installation.

Maybe there's something you can look at to find a solution for your problems.
