Hi,
I need to clean a shapefile before export in it from a DB table.

The option "-overwrite" of ogr2ogr is not feasible for me because
AFAIK from the docs
the overwrite option will
"delete the shapefile and recreate it".
Instead I need do not recreate it to maintain the original structure of dbf.

So I try to delete the shapefile using this ogrinfo tools,
but using this sintax

ogrinfo -al -sql "delete from myshape" myshape.shp

I have an errore and seem is not accepted by ogrinfo.

I'm wrong something in the sintax or ogrinfo do not allow the delete
of a shapefile ?

Andrea,
if you want to delete the shapefile only:

ogrinfo myshape.shp -sql "DROP TABLE myshape"

should be enough.

ciao
Antonio
