[gdal-dev] PGeo TestCapability always returns FALSE

Hi all,

In my application, I'm calling layer->TestCapability(OLCRandomRead)
before calling layer->GetFeature(fid).  When I try this with a PGeo
datasource, TestCapability always returns FALSE.  

Looking at the OGRPGeoLayer code this indeed seems to be the case:

    int OGRPGeoLayer::TestCapability( const char * pszCap )
    {
        if( EQUAL(pszCap,OLCRandomRead) )
            return FALSE;

        else if( EQUAL(pszCap,OLCFastFeatureCount) )
            return FALSE;

        else if( EQUAL(pszCap,OLCFastSpatialFilter) )
            return FALSE;

        else if( EQUAL(pszCap,OLCTransactions) )
            return FALSE;

        else 
            return FALSE;
    }

Is this a bug?

Should I be calling TestCapability before calling GetFeature?
GetFeature seems to work for the PGeo datasource even though
TestCapability is returning FALSE.

Thank-you,
Todd.
