Hi Matt,<br><br>If you are referring to the splitting the data from a given layer into a series of Shape files under 2GB then the OSMM loader doesn't do this at present although I don't see why this couldn't be done quite easily. Generally though if you are working with a large volume of data loading into a spatial database like PostGIS might be more suitable and the loader can already load do that as it can load into any of the OGR formats (see <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html">http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html</a> for a list).<br>
<br>Cheers,<br><br>Matt.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 April 2011 09:45, Saber <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:razmjooeis@faunalia.co.uk">razmjooeis@faunalia.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Ogr2ogr now truncates the attribute headers for shapefile when exceed 10<br>
letters.<br>
