<div>Hello List,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>recently was trying to extract shapefiles from an oracle database in batch mode </div>
<div>it seem that ogr2ogr is not allowing to create shapefile more 168 in numbers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i gave a simple instruction through the command line in same folder but the operation was terminated by saying </div>
<div><strong>"D:\batch1\xyz169.DBF file could not be created"</strong></div>
<div>where as the xyz169.shp and xyz169.shx where created.</div>
<div>also did the same by changing the folder name it was successfully created. so changed my logic in the batch mode operation creating temporary place and moving it to the actual folder.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am puzzled by the fact that why ogr2ogr failed in creating the shapefiles more than 168 in the same folder. Is it a limitation of the shapefile or is it set nature of the DBF file that not more than 168 number file could be created at one folder in one go??
