Hi -
I am another recent addition to the GDAL community. I am currently using the
Ingres driver for the latest svn trunk version. I had originally downloaded the
driver back in May, and had it working, but the latest version wasn't working
for me; specifically ogr2ogr was seg faulting.
After some digging, I found out that the command line syntax had changed
between May and now. Previously, this syntax worked:
ogr2ogr -overwrite -append -skipfailures -f ingres INGRES:mydbname road.shp
Now however, the syntax is (as documented on the GDAL website):
ogr2ogr -overwrite -append -skipfailues -f Ingres
"@driver=ingres,dbname=mydbname,user=mydbuser,password=mypwd" road.shp
I was wondering if there's a reason to have the syntax so different from some
of the other formats, such as Postgres? (with the @ sign at the beginning).
Also, out of curiousity, is the new driver parameter used to separate the
vector format (specified by "-f Ingres") from the driver used?
Finally, I fixed the seg fault by initializing the data source pointer as such:
from ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ingres/ogringresdriver.cpp
OGRDataSource *OGRIngresDriver::CreateDataSource( const char * pszName,
char ** /* papszOptions */ )
{
> OGRIngresDataSource *poDS = NULL;
.....
Thanks,
Denise
