<br>
I have a SHP file of some 1.1m polygons, of which I need to
select about half of them, and save them as a separate SHP file.
<br>
<br>
The trouble is when I select either via a Query, or via the
TABLE using the select options below, it just falls asleep (100%
CPU (ok, 12% as it must be single-threaded)). <br>
After 45 minutes or so, I just kick it out and weep. <br>
<br>
My platform is Win 7 Prof 64 bit (also tried on 32 bit) and
using 1.8.0 Lisboa. <br>
<br>
The selects I have tried are: "sq21code" = "C016*" and also
tried using "IN" <br>
<br>
Any ideas what I am doing wrong and what I should try next? <br>
<br>

In addition to Andre's correction about the * wildcard, with 1M
polygons, you probably should move the shapefile into a database
(i.e spatialite, PostGIS)<br>

That would be a bit sad (in terms of extra steps).<br>
I'm trying with ogr on Linux, but haven't fiddled the correct syntax
yet:<br>
<br>
<tt>zls@gs0:~$ ogr2ogr -where " 21DigitKey LIKE 'C016%' " zerf
/mnt/geo_lvm0/SGO_cadastral/200909/WC/Erf.shp<br>
ERROR 1: SQL Expression Parsing Error: syntax error<br>
FAILURE: SetAttributeFilter( 21DigitKey LIKE 'C016%' ) failed.<br>
