Gary,

This is very likely due to commit https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/commit/d60e71154c02b84b4c59cd61d3c21eb150f0b42a : "when the .csvt indicates WKT and in default KEEP_GEOM_COLUMNS=YES mode, prefix the geometry field name with 'geom_'" which was done to avoid to have both a regular attribute field and a geometry field with the same name, "WKT". Now the geometry column is called "geom_WKT"

3 possible ways of fixing this:

- likely slightly most performant one to switch to using the geometry column: change <GeometryField field="WKT" reportSrcColumn="FALSE"> to <GeometryField field="geom_WKT" reportSrcColumn="FALSE">

- or change <GeometryField field="WKT" reportSrcColumn="FALSE"> to <GeometryField field="WKT" reportSrcColumn="FALSE" encoding="WKT">  to ask to use the regular field WKT and interpret it as containing WKT geometries

- or add <OpenOptions><OOI key="KEEP_GEOM_COLUMNS">NO</OOI></OpenOptions> , for example after the <SrcDataSource> element, so that the regular WKT field is not exposed by the CSV driver, and thus only a geometry field WKT is exposed

The 2 later ones should likely be compatible with older GDAL versions too

Hi,
Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but I am struggling to work out what's going on. I'm setting up a new windows machine to process address data provided by a local agency. I've downloaded new versions of software. I use ogr2ogr to load csv files via a vrt file into postgres. This works fine with my old setup, and has worked with various older versions as well. However with the latest ogr2ogr it fails. ogrinfo --version says GDAL 3.7.0, released 2023/05/02

P:\bin\gdal37>.\ogrinfo.exe C:\temp\addresses.vrt
INFO: Open of `C:\temp\addresses.vrt'
      using driver `OGR_VRT' successful.
1: addressesERROR 1: Unable to identify source geometry field 'WKT' for geometry.
 (None)

but with an older version GDAL 3.3.1, released 2021/06/28
P:\bin\gdal33>.\ogrinfo.exe C:\temp\addresses.vrt
INFO: Open of `C:\temp\addresses.vrt'
      using driver `OGR_VRT' successful.
1: addresses (Point)

I get the same failure with ogr2ogr, but ogrinfo seemed simpler and there's a much less complicated command-line. I've cut this down to a one-field, one-line of csv example that does the same thing, if that's useful.

Is this expected?
Is there an easy work-around, that would work with both versions?
Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious or just being dumb, or should  ask elsewhere.

Thanks
Gary
