[gdal-dev] problems converting gdb to shp

[Sarah Zatko]

I'm trying to use the -where command in ogr2ogr (1.9.0) to separate out
different geometry types, as was described in the FAQ for converting gdb to
shp files, but when I do the following command

 

Ogr2ogr.exe -f ESRI Shapefile points.shp input.gdb -a_srs EPSG:4326 -nln
points -where 'ogr_geometry="POINT"' 

 

it thinks that the -where. part of the command is the name of a gdb layer.  

 

I tried moving the -where part of the command earlier, to before the -f
argument, but then it just hangs and doesn't complete at all.  

 

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?  

 

Also, when I try to go from shapefile to geodb in Windows, it only works if
I'm running as administrator.  Is that just a requirement?  It doesn't
require root in Linux.
