Hi OGRers,
(Would that be pronounced "ogres" ? :-) )
I need to create _a lot_ of blank SHP files with schemas that I
currently have in CSV files.
(For me) the easiest way is to create a script that reads the CSV files
and generates empty (geometry wise) Mapinfo MID-MIF filesets.
I then use ogr2ogr to batch convert these into empty shapefiles that
have the correct attribute schema.
But!
In the MIF file I can say "character 36", or Decimal 6,0 or Real.
Can I get any reassurance that the resulting DBF file will contain the
36 char length character field?
If I look at the table schema in QGIS, I do not know how wide the
attribute field is.
Likewise for integer and real data types, I need to also nail down the
field widths.
Thanks in advance,
Zoltan
