[gdal-dev] Odd behavior with OGR2OGR and arcSDE - tries to copy multiple layers.
If I copy a set from sde to postgis with: ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:host=myhost user=myuser dbname=mydb password=** port=5432 -nln postgis_name SDE:SDE,5151,,***,,sde_name then the process works but then it comes with a message FAILED: layer aready exists and -append not specified, but reports that it is trying to copy a completely different layer from the one specified in SDE. It is a valid sde layer. If I put -overwrite switch in, then something even more curious happens. It appears to go through all the layers in sde and one by one replaces the postgis layer with each (I discovered by interrupting the process or looking at data in postgis). I am using GDAL from stable version of MS4W, with the sde dlls for arcSDE 9.3 -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.

Phil, Try the same command with the ArcSDE layer name specified at the end for ogr2ogr.

Try the same command with the ArcSDE layer name specified at the end for ogr2ogr. You mean? ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:host=myhost user=myuser dbname=mydb password=** port=5432 -nln postgis_name SDE:SDE,5151,,***,,sde_name sde_name I wonder why layer in the SDE format string seemed to be optional.

Yes. Perhaps the SDE driver is reading the other layers as well. In the docs it says that specifying the layer name in the SDE string will make the driver skip reading the summary metadata for other layers. But it may still report the other layers to ogr2ogr. So, specifying the layer to ogr2ogr will ensure that other layers are skipped.
