Folks,
The OGRFeature::GetFieldAsString returns date/time fields formatted in
non-standard way. For example date is output as "year/month/day" as more
usual "year-month-day". This causes problems in many programs.
I suggest adding a new config option OGR_DATE_FORMAT, which, if set,
would make the method return date/time formatted according to it. I
suggest that we use the strftime and its format argument as the target
for the new option.
The implementation is complicated a bit when milliseconds and timezones
are involved since they are not included in the struct tm used by
strftime. I suggest that we assume seconds are formatted as :\d\d in the
format and simply add milliseconds (as .\d\d\d) and timezone (as
[+-]\d\d(:\d\d)), if they exists, after the second.
Do you think this needs a RFC?
I'm willing to implement the changes.
Ari
