[gdal-dev] Using ogr2ogr with limited memory

I should have been more specific.

One particular machine has 8GB of memory. When I try to do the most 
simple ogr2ogr command on large files, the host runs out of memory 
(vmstat shows this) and ogr2ogr terminates with 'Killed', nothing more.

The data formats I have experienced this with are .fgb, .parquet and 
.gpkg. The data files are 10's of GB.

Thanks for the responses!
