[gdal-dev] Normalized/laundered field names

[adamgutonski]

Hello,

I am attempting to create an ogr.OFTDateTime field named "date", within a file geodatabase table. However anytime a field definition is created with the name "date", once the layer tries to create the field, I get receive a warning:

Warning 6: Normalized/laundered field name: 'date' to 'date_'

Why does this field need to be normalized? Is there anyway to suppress this warning and retain the "date" string that is expected as the field name? Are there other field names besides date that will always be normalized?

Below is my code snippet:

field_defn = ogr.FieldDefn("date", ogr.OFTDateTime)
layer.CreateField(field_defn)

Thank you for your time as always!

Sincerely,
Adam Gutonski
