<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently mentioned on gdal-dev that we would like to contribute an OGR driver for SAP SQL Anywhere. I have opened ticket 5430
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5430">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5430</a> to track this. A patch file is attached to the ticket.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">My apologies for not getting this uploaded before the 1.11.0 first beta was prepared. We would certainly like to get this into 1.11.0 RC1 if at all possible (sorry for the tight timeline).<o:p></o:p></p>
