Hi <br><br>I have grass installed using the osgeo4w.  Am trying to use the v.in.ogr command to import some vector data from an ESRI SDE data source.<br><br>I have successfully used the OGR2OGR utility that came installed with the ogeo4w to extract vector data from SDE to a shapefile.  When I open op a osgoe4w command prompt and query the formats supported I get the following list:<br>
<br>C:\Windows\system32&gt;ogrinfo --formats<br>Supported Formats:<br>  -&gt; &quot;OCI&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;SDE&quot; (readonly)<br>  -&gt; &quot;ESRI Shapefile&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;MapInfo File&quot; (read/write)<br>
  -&gt; &quot;UK .NTF&quot; (readonly)<br>  -&gt; &quot;SDTS&quot; (readonly)<br>  -&gt; &quot;TIGER&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;S57&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;DGN&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;VRT&quot; (readonly)<br>
  -&gt; &quot;REC&quot; (readonly)<br>  -&gt; &quot;Memory&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;BNA&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;CSV&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;GML&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;GPX&quot; (read/write)<br>
  -&gt; &quot;KML&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;GeoJSON&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;Interlis 1&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;Interlis 2&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;GMT&quot; (read/write)<br>  -&gt; &quot;SQLite&quot; (read/write)<br>

<br>Yet when I try to use the v.in.ogr command with the following syntax I get the error: Unable to open data source.  The following is a summary of the syntax that I am using:<br><br>v.in.ogr dsn=SDE:<a href="http://habs.ca">habs.ca</a>,5153,ordb1,oraUserName,password,MYSCHEMA.LOCATIONS output=LOCATIONS<br>
<br>Is there any way I can verify that the grass is using the same GDAL/OGR versions as I am using on the OSGEO4W command line?<br><br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Fran<br><br>
