Hi Andrea,
This seems like a useful tip; would you mind documenting your steps on
the GDAL wiki? Maybe on this page?

thanks,

Hi Andrea,
I need to clean a shapefile before export in it from a DB table.
The option "-overwrite" of ogr2ogr is not feasible for me because
AFAIK from the docs
the overwrite option will
"delete the shapefile and recreate it".
Instead I need do not recreate it to maintain the original structure of
dbf.
So I try to delete the shapefile using this ogrinfo tools,
but using this sintax
ogrinfo -al -sql "delete from myshape" myshape.shp
Add to the above command: -dialect sqlite
And to really clean all records, you need to repack afterwards:
ogrinfo -sql "repack myshape" myshape.shp
