[gdal-dev] reading features without loading geometries

[Milton Jonathan]

Dear all,

I would like to know if there would be a standard mechanism in OGR for 
reading features without loading their geometries (e.g., for efficiently 
building a list of features from which to choose from, even for layers 
with a large number of features with significantly sized geometries)

I suppose that some drivers may not able to do it (e.g., drivers for 
simple file formats), but for database drivers that should be simple.

Thanks!
Milton
