[gdal-dev] Call for discussion on RFC 56: OFTTime/OFTDateTime millisecond accuracy

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

This is a call for discussion on "RFC 56: OFTTime/OFTDateTime millisecond 
accuracy".

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc56_millisecond_precision

Summary :

This RFC aims at adding millisecond accuracy to OFTTime and OFTDateTime fields, 
as a number of formats support it explicitely or implicitely : MapInfo, GPX, 
Atom (GeoRSS driver), GeoPackage, SQLite, PostgreSQL, CSV, GeoJSON, ODS, XLSX, 
KML (potentially GML too)... 



For those who have followed the preliminary discussion of those last days, 
I've stayed on my solution 1, amended by the removal of the Precision field. 
Precision is now implicit, i.e. as soon as the Second field is not an integer 
value, we output milliseconds. This hopefully fits most purposes and is less 
confusing.


Best regards,

Even
