[gdal-dev] OGR2OGR options -select and -where together

Aha.  And sorry for kind of spamming the list.  I've been looking into 
this between working on something else.

with -sql in 1.8.0:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -sql "select ano from Prodes2009_23367 where 
ano = '2009' and class_name = 'DESFLORESTAMENTO'" 
filter_select_where7.shp Prodes2009_23367.shp

the ' around 2009 wasn't required when I tried in 1.7.x

In 1.7.x you could have just the ano field in -select, but in 1.8.0 it 
seems you need both fields included in the -where, so:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -select ano,class_name -where "ano = '2009' 
and class_name = 'DESFLORESTAMENTO'" filter_select_where10.shp 
Prodes2009_23367.shp

Maybe one of the developers could explain this change?
