Jukka,

OK, I tried to implement it more or less as described in your previous mail,

One other drawback with this change is that all previous shapefiles containing integers and saved as N(11,0) will now be read back as longs.

Let me now if someone think this can be a problem,

Hi Michaël,


My test file can now be successfully saved and read to/from shape and JML.

I made also a test with GDAL-dev versions with the created shapefile

Notice that all the short integers are interpreted as long integers (Integer64) and the long ones as Reals. Perhaps you should consider to make the numbers a little bit shorter? According to this ticket

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3615 ever a number with 10 digits (10.0) can be too big as an Integer. I suppose that the biggest Integer is 4,294,967,29. And numbers with 20 digits can be bigger than Long integers if they are >18,446,744,073,709,551,615.


GDAL shp driver

http://www.gdal.org/drv_shapefile.html is behaving this way when it creates numeric fields :

 *

    Integer fields without an explicit width are treated as width 9,
    and extended to 10 or 11 if needed.

 *

    Integer64 fields without an explicit width are treated as width
    18, and extended to 19 or 20 if needed.

I made some tests about what GDAL does in reading. It appears to reports numbers only up to (9.0) as Integers and up to (18.0) as Long Integers.


I wonder if it would be better to change the shapefile writer of OpenJUMP to create Integer fields by default as (9.0) and change format into (10.0) only if integer field contains values between 1,000,000,00 and 4,294,967,29. Bigger values than the upper limit should not be accepted into integer field because they are invalid everywhere.


There seems to be another issue with Long integers in the shapefiles. Long integers can need up to 20 digits but the standard dBase format has an 18 digit limit for numbers

http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/data_types.html. <http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/data_types.html> Some version has extended that to 20 numbers. Because of best possible interoperability I think that OpenJUMP should create the Long fields as (18.0) by default and (19.0) or (20.0) only if needed.

I just completed with BIGINT, TIME and NUMERIC.
Shapefile driver will not really handle all these types. I've just handled
long and boolean in a specific way. Other types are just mapped to old
types.

> This is how new types are supposed to be converted to dbf then back to OpenJUMP :

CHAR, VARCHAR, LONGVARCHAR, TEXT, STRING, OBJECT  -> C        -> STRING
FLOAT, DOUBLE, REAL, NUMERIC, DECIMAL, BIGDECIMAL -> N(33,16) -> DOUBLE
TINYINT, SMALLINT, INTEGER  -> N(11) -> INTEGER
LONG, BIGINT                -> N(21) -> LONG
DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP       -> D     -> DATE
BOOLEAN, BIT                -> L     -> BOOLEAN

The only data types that I've sometimes missed are boolean and long.
That's why I tried to map them in a way that can preserve type information when
you save to dbf and back.
For other data types, my main concern is just to make the drivers compatible with
the UI.

Hi,


I made a test file with one point and one attribute of each selectable data type. However, OpenJUMP is not totally ready for handling all those.


Saving the JML file as shapefile stops to the following error:


java.lang.Exception: ShapefileWriter: unsupported AttributeType found in featurecollection. : BIGINT at com.vividsolutions.jump.io.ShapefileWriter.writeDbf(ShapefileWriter.java:537) at com.vividsolutions.jump.io.ShapefileWriter.write(ShapefileWriter.java:292) at com.vividsolutions.jump.io.datasource.ReaderWriterFileDataSource$1.executeUpdate(ReaderWriterFileDataSource.java:73) at com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.datasource.AbstractSaveDatasetAsPlugIn.run(AbstractSaveDatasetAsPlugIn.java:28) at com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.ui.task.TaskMonitorManager$TaskWrapper.run(TaskMonitorManager.java:152)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)


Next I tried to edit the schema and remove the BIGINT attribute but it was not so easy. Changes in the schema can be confirmed only after removing all the attributes of the following data types first:


CHAR

VARCHAR

LONGVARCHAR

TEXT

BOOLEAN

BIT

SMALLINT

TINYINT

LONG

BIGINT

DECIMAL

NUMERIC

BIGDECIMAL

FLOAT

REAL

TIME

TIMESTAMP


The error if any of the above data types appears in the schema is like:

Here is how GDAL understands our new attribute types:


ogrinfo datatype_test.jml -al -so
Had to open data source read-only.

      using driver `JML' successful.

real_attribute: String (0.0)
date_attribute: DateTime (0.0)
time_attribute: String (0.0)
timestamp_attribute: String (0.0)
object_attribute: String (0.0)


Most new types are converted into strings by now. I think I could sponsor the GDAL development if someone writes the mapping between OpenJUMP datatypes and GDAL datatypes. I am not sure what the GDAL datatypes are but the following list might be right:

 1. boolean (GDAL >= 2.0)
 2. character(field_length). By default, field_length=1.
 3. float(field_length)
 4. numeric(field_length, field_precision)
 5. smallint(field_length) : 16 bit signed integer (GDAL >= 2.0)
 6. integer(field_length)
 7. bigint(field_length), 64 bit integer, extension to SQL92 (GDAL >=
    2.0)
 8. date(field_length)
 9. time(field_length)
10. timestamp(field_length)

Obviously 'string', and 'real' are supported and then I believe that there is support for these three:

'integer list', 'double list' and 'string list'.


However, I have not yet realized if we need all these data types and how generally they are supported in the surrounding GIS and computing world.

Hi,

I managed new attribute types introduced by Ede in shapefile and jml drivers (BOOLEAN and LONG are managed as "Logical" and "Numeric,21,0", and other types are managed as one of the former types).

Please use and test these new types, especially with shapefiles.

Next step is to introduce these types in PostGIS database driver.
