[gdal-dev] split multipolygons?

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello list,

I have a table in mapinfo format that contains different geometry types. 
some are errors and when I filter out the errors, multipolygon and 
polygon remain.

I try to use ogr2ogr  with -nlt to only get polygons. This doesn't work 
the way I want it. When I open the resulting table in OpenJUMP, there 
are still multipolygons in my table which prevent me from saving changes 
I make with OpenJump.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to split multipolygons to 
polygons with regards to maintaining the attributes. Can this be done?    

kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
