OK, now you gave me a pointer I could possibly follow with my limited knowledge: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3212#comment:3 > But other people are still not convinced, and are using MySQL/MariaDB > instead of PostgreSQL.

I clearly do not intend to supersede MySQL, only to clean my system.

You just told me dlOpen could make this issue moot.

I fully appreciate that. It just do not seem the issue, rather a gDal limitation. -- skype:leandro.gfc.dutra?chat Yahoo!: ymsgr:sendIM?lgcdutra +55 (61) 3546 7191 gTalk: xmpp:leand...@jabber.org +55 (61) 9302 2691 ICQ/AIM: aim:GoIM?screenname=61287803 BRAZIL GMT−3 MSN: msnim:chat?contact=lean...@dutra.fastmail.fm
