[gdal-dev] dbf data types

[Martin Landa]

Hi all,

recently I was converting dbf files [1] to PostgreSQL database. Some
fields are recognized as characters even they contain numeric types,
eg.

ogrinfo OBCE.DBF OBCE -so
INFO: Open of `OBCE.DBF'
      using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: OBCE
ICOB: String (6.0)

ICOB is ID of a city, OGR driver defines this attribute as character.
I tried ADJUST_TYPE option, but it didn't make difference.

Thanks in advance for any hint, Martin
