[gdal-dev] Urgent clarification needed.

Chris,

If you go to the /bin directory of your gdal installation you will find a
program called ogrinfo.exe (if you did the install process after compiling).
Run "ogrinfo --formats" from the command line in that directory and it will
dump the format list of available drivers.  I think ODBC is compiled in by
default. You could check http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_odbc.html , I think it
hints that is available on Windows.  Ogrinfo will tell the truth though. :)

Best regards,

Subject: [gdal-dev] Urgent clarification needed. 

We're having some difficulty opening a client's database file via the 
ordinary OGR reader, therefore I was reading the documentation found at. 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_odbc.html in reference to using the ODBC, 
the documentation states that this is potentially available in both 
unix/windows builds. However only available in unix by special 
compilation options. My question is, is this driver available in windows 
without the need for any special compiliation options or do I have to do 
something special to get it ?

Cheers
Chris
