I don't know if this is a postgres or ogr2ogr issue, so I apologize if I'm looking in the wrong place, but I recently ran into the following:

I used this command to convert a coverage to a postgis database:

*/ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" -lco precision=no PG:"host=mercator user=postgres dbname=tembec5" phase4b/*

There were no error messages, but any field that contained a dash ("-")in the field name had no values in the postgres db.. It wasnt a big deal, I just renamed the fields in Arc, and it worked fine. I only wondered if anyone else had run into this, and if there might be a way to prevent it other than renaming the field(s).
