Thanks Even,
that it’s not so bad. I can “wait” until ICreateFeature and if it’s
the first feature create the number of fields it has.
But, then, what happens with other fields that can appear after in
next features? I might ignore them, but... it’s not a good thing.
Just look at existing drivers, like the JML one I pointed. They will
error out when attempting to call CreateField() once a feature has been
written, and they will stop advertizing the OLCCreateField capability as
well.
Can they appear later or not? I haven’t understood it at complete.
Calling CreateField() at any time is a possibility of the OGR API. That
doesn't mean that all drivers have to support it. Most writers will
generally create all needed fields before writing features, if they can,
to be compatible with as many output drivers as possible.
