[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr truncating data?

[Tamas Szekeres]

To increase the field size you may use the sql cast operator as described in
the following documents:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc21_ogrsqlcast
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html

Best regards,

Tamas

>  Hello all,
> I'm trying to use ogr2ogr to convert a KML file to a shapefile.  Mostly it
