[gdal-dev] Deleting fields OGR

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Håvard,

You can create a copy of the dataset while skipping the field. For
shapefiles you won't have to mention the .shp file. Opening just the .dbf
file will be enough.
Similar thing can be done using ogr2ogr by specifying the -select option
without the specified field's name. http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html
