Hello Markus,
I just tried ogrinfo –-formats and ODBC is not in the list :-O
Apparently, the guys at SuSE who made the RPM didn’t bother to compile
OGR with ODBC support... I might as well build it all myself if that
doesn’t mean spending all day downloading and building tonnes of
dependencies.
Debian's gdal doesn't have ODBC either, don't know why... It would be
useful as this is the only way to access Personal GeoDB files AFAICT,
and those are becoming more and more frequent.
Now, is it so that db.select relies on OGR to access the database and
v.db.select doesn’t?
Check v.db.connect -p on the map. Probably it is set to something else
then db.connect.
db.connect handles the default connection to be used for the mapset,
v.db.connect handles the connection map by map.
My DB server is PostgreSQL, which is supported by
my stock OGR build, and db.select does indeed work when I set driver=pg.
If you are using postgresql, why would you want to use ODBC ?
