What is the ArcGIS error?  I tried these files on ArcMap 9.3 and 10.0
and had no issues that I realized.  (to display in a meaningful
manner, I had to change the symbology which required the calculation
of statistics in ArcGIS.  I also changed the cellsize to .1 so I could
more easily examine the pixels and values.)

Below looks like a 3x4 grid that is labeled as 5x5 but even that
worked for me in ArcGIS (didn't throw error but values were not where
'expected').

Re: [gdal-dev] Some tables from mdb not exported to PostGIS

2012-02-12 Thread Eli Adam
Assuming that you are using ogr2ogr on the xp computer, you can fairly
easily setup ODBC connections for the non-spatial tables,
http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_odbc.html

Doing the same from linux is somewhat more difficult, the easiest path
I think to be http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_mdb.html

You can see some of my previous similar attempts,
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-November/030833.html

[gdal-dev] OGR SQL CAST and field name alias selects incorrect fields in some cases

2012-02-15 Thread Eli Adam
Hi all,

I'm trying to use OGR SQL to CAST and field name aliasing together and
getting incorrect results (or issuing incorrect commands) when
combined with two LEFT JOINs on MDB (both ODBC and MDB drivers).  The
results are incorrect in that the fields are populated with incorrect
information, specially, filling it with other fields that are not
selected at all.  I'm seeing this in windows close to trunk (ODBC) and
a statically compiled ubuntu 10.04 trunk from a few months ago (Access
MDB/Java/Jackess).  The data is somewhat messy so it could be a case
of ambiguous table/query names after some shortening is applied or
something similar although nothing jumps out in that regard to me.
Both the tables that are joined to have a field named DocumentName.
Also, the way I am using the CAST in this case isn't needed but I ran
into it and wanted to report it.

The simple case works as I expect:
ogr2ogr surveys_simply_cast2.shp Surveys.shp -sql "SELECT
CAST(surveyid AS character(255)) AS surveyid_alias, COMMENT FROM
Surveys" Warning 6: Normalized/laundered field name: 'surveyid_alias'
to 'surveyid_a'

Specifically, I get a field named surveyid_a that is character 255 and
has the correct content:
ogrinfo -al -so surveys_simply_cast2.shp surveys_simply_cast2
...
surveyid_a: String (255.0)
COMMENT: String (15.0)


Now I try the same thing with two LEFT JOINs to mdb/ODBC:
ogr2ogr surveys_output_two_fields.shp Surveys.shp -sql "SELECT
CAST(webimage AS character(255)) AS webimage_1,  CAST(SubdivisionName
AS character(255)) AS Subdivisio FROM Surveys LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Local_Survey_Image ON
Surveys.surveyid=Local_Survey_Image.DocumentName LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Survey ON Surveys.surveyid=Survey.DocumentName"

Warning 6: Field FileDate create as date field, though DateTime requested.

This gives me the fields that I expect:
ogrinfo -al -so surveys_output_two_fields.shp surveys_output_two_fields
...
webimage_1: String (255.0)
Subdivisio: String (255.0)

However, they are populated with incorrect information.  The field
webimage_1 is filled with values from the field
cygwinSurveys.Survey.Comments.  The field Subdivisio is filled with
values from cygwinSurveys.Survey.ImagePilot (or Net_PDF - yes there
are two fields with identical information).  Adding --debug ON shows
that these tables don't have FID columns (I could not see all the
debug content but that seemed to be the only non-routine information):
OGR_ODBC: Table Local_Survey_Image has no identified FID column.
...

On Ubuntu, the results are the same, my command is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/client
ogr2ogr  /tmp/surveys_etl/surveys.shp /tmp/surveys_etl/Surveys.shp
-sql " SELECT Surveys.surveyid AS SURVEYID,DocumentName AS
DocumentNa,SurveyorKey as SurveyorKe,CAST(webimage AS character(255))
AS webimage_1,FileDate,Client, SurveyType,ClerkNumber AS
ClerkNumbe,CAST(SubdivisionName AS character(255)) AS Subdivisio FROM
Surveys LEFT JOIN '/tmp/surveys_etl/Surveys.mdb'.Survey ON
Surveys.surveyid=Survey.DocumentName LEFT JOIN
'/tmp/surveys_etl/Surveys.mdb'.Local_Survey_Image ON
Surveys.surveyid=Local_Survey_Image.DocumentName"

Excluding the CAST gives the correct results:
ogr2ogr surveys_output_no_cast.shp Surveys.shp -sql "SELECT webimage
AS webimage_1, SubdivisionName AS Subdivisio FROM Surveys LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Local_Survey_Image ON
Surveys.surveyid=Local_Survey_Image.DocumentName LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Survey ON Surveys.surveyid=Survey.DocumentName"

Trying to reintroduce the CAST with only one join works correctly (for
either join):
ogr2ogr surveys_output_singel_join.shp Surveys.shp -sql "SELECT
CAST(webimage AS character(255)) AS webimage_1 FROM Surveys LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Local_Survey_Image ON
Surveys.surveyid=Local_Survey_Image.DocumentName"

ogr2ogr surveys_output_singleb.shp Surveys.shp -sql "SELECT
CAST(SubdivisionName AS character(255)) AS Subdivisio FROM Surveys
LEFT JOIN 'ODBC:cygwinSurveys'.Survey ON
Surveys.surveyid=Survey.DocumentName"

I can package this up for download by anyone interested, just contact
me offline for the link.  (I can also include the statically compiled
binary as well although it may only work on Ubuntu 10.04 with
Java/Jackess/etc and called setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.)

Re: [gdal-dev] Re: Slope in gdaldem

2012-03-01 Thread Eli Adam
Steve,

> additional processing steps they can.  How does adding code to gdal work?

Just from an observer perspective, it seems that once you have your
additions worked out, attach a diff on on trac ticket.  The details
for how to do that are: sign up for an osgeo userid,
http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid (if you don't already have one),
login to the gdal trac and then open a new ticket,
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/report

I don't know the likelihood of one of the developers adding it in,
someone might comment on the ticket about that (could depend on the
code, impacts to other parts, etc).  Putting it in a ticket also makes
it available to anyone that may want to  locally apply it for
themselves.

I know that there is a COUNT() that can be used in the SELECT part.
I've never tried it in the WHERE part.  You might be able to try that.

Depending on how you are doing your batch process, you can use ogrinfo
with COUNT() as a test to decide if you should do the ogr2ogr part.

I think that -l should specify the layer name from the source dataset
not the field.  Typically in a shapefile there is only one layer and
it is the same as the shapefile name.  Try dropping the -l stuff all
together.

gdal_rasterize -a COUNTY Counties.shp CountiesRaster.tif

or if you use it, use it like this:

gdal_rasterize -a COUNTY -l Counties Counties.shp CountiesRaster.tif

You can get information from a raster in GDAL with gdallocationinfo.

Re: [gdal-dev] Updating shapefile "fields" name with ogr2ogr

2012-06-22 Thread Eli Adam
I've also found this very confusing and unexpected.  Once I did figure
it out it has been very useful.  Could

ogrinfo CHEMIN.shp -sql "ALTER TABLE CHEMIN RENAME COLUMN prec_alti TO foo"

or similar be added as an example to http://gdal.org/ogrinfo.html and
perhaps also as a 'note about ogrinfo with OGR SQL' on
http://gdal.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html?

Perhaps http://gdal.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html could be updated from:

-sql statement:
Execute the indicated SQL statement and return the result.

to something like:

-sql statement:
Execute the indicated SQL statement and return the result. In
place updates (ALTER TABLE) are also permitted.
