[Gdal-dev] int64 support?

[Howard Butler]

Vincent,

I was just discussing this with Frank yesterday.  I was looking for  
something that mapped to ArcSDE's SE_INT64_TYPE for OGR, but alas, we  
don't have one.

I think the main reason we don't currently have one is that its  
inclusion has the potential to be very disruptive.  Its inclusion  
would likely require an RFC.  It definitely won't be happening in the  
1.5 release...
