<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We’ve got a vector layer in a spatial oracle repository.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We need to export it (both geometry and attributes) to a shape file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:CA">We cannot use “save as shape” directly from qgis, because the oracle layer has a blob field that prevent this operation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:CA">And we cannot drop the blob field because it is needed for other purposes.</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So we’re using OGR2OGR instead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The oracle layer have several fields tipus ‘double’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:CA"><img width="440" height="94" id="Imatge_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D14C63.67A05890"></span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">After de conversion, the shape file keeps the double format, but we’ve lost the decimal data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">For exemple:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Before conversion: AREA_HA = 3379.88378172<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">After conversion: AREA_HA= 3379<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We have repeated the conversion applying different “locale” configurations, in case the problem was originated by the decimal separation character used: “.” or “,”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">However, the results are equally bad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Do you know any workaround for this issue ?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:CA">
