Thanks a lot for creating the RFC. I have just two comments: - is the alternation of hte field definition going to have some rules how the existing data should be converted to the new type or will the driver itself choose how to convert the data? The latter option is surely the easier one, but it would be probably good to guarantee at least some expected conversions: int <-> text, float <-> text, round the number when lowering precision etc. - what is actually the motivation behind reordering of the fields? Is that just for aesthetical reasons? (e.g. zip code should be next to the city name) Regards Martin _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
