I'm playing with the (very cool) new gdal command line tool. I started with a simple task of copying a shapefile into postgres. I only want two columns from the shapefile and I need to cast it to a MultiLineString. My old ogr2ogr command: *ogr2ogr PG:"$PGCONN" shapefiles -sql "select STREET_NAM, TYPE from Roads" -nlt MultiLineString -append*
It seems like there's some overlap between vector convert, sql and geom and I've gotten furthest with sql: *gdal vector sql --sql "select STREET_NAM, TYPE from Roads" --append shapefiles PG:"$PGCONN"* But I haven't figured out how to cast to --multi. Should I be using convert or geom instead of sql? Or do I need a pipeline? Is there documentation that I'm missing? Thanks, Rich -- Richard W. Greenwood www.greenwoodmap.com
