<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m attempting to create a ESRI shapefile from the
results of a SQL query on a MySQL DB using OGR2OGR included with FWTools 2.2.8.
The operation completes without reporting any errors and the shapefile is
created as expected, but when I load the shapefile in ArcMap all the floating
point columns in the attribute table have no decimal places. If I run the
query in MySQL Query Browser the results contain the decimal places that I expect.
I’ve tried rounding the selected columns in the query to force the
results to have a set number of decimal places but this does not seem to change
the output.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this
behavior? I was able to work around the problem by converting the
double columns to chars in the query so that OGR2OGR treated them as strings,
but this seems messy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
