Frank,
thx for response.
But unfortunately I have not well explained.
My GML has not one only class but instead it has many classes.
Some classes has geometry and some other classes has not geometry.
So I cannot set it manually to wkbnone because only some classes need to
be translated to dbf only.
If you confirm that also this situation is compliant with the gdal/ogr
rules and the driver could be able to generate a dbf-only file when meet
a class without geometry and instead generate a shapefile when meet a
class with geometry, I open a ticket and add some examples.
thx,
Andrea.

Hi,
is compliant with the gdal/ogr rules to have a GML driver to export forward
a dbf when in the GML there is a class without geometry ?
Actually the GML drivers when meet a class without geometry export it as a
shapefile having null geometry.
Andrea,
The shapefile driver should create only the .dbf (no .shp or .shx) if the
layer type is wkbNone. However, I am not at all sure that the GML
driver will return wkbNone for feature classes with no geometries.
You could certainly manually set the geometry type to wkbNone
when converting to dbf using the ogr2ogr -nlt switch with a value
of NONE.
If you think that the GML driver does not recognise features classes as
having no geometry when it ought to then please file a ticket with an
example file. Note that ogrinfo should report the geometry types for
any layer with a value other than wkbUnknown.
Best regards,
