[gdal-dev] OGR SDE driver failing on empty tables

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

using Mapserver on OGR SDE layers we get error messages for empty tables.

msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. SE_shape_generate_rectangle: -139/The
specified coordinate exceeds the valid coordinate range

To me it seems this should fail silently, and we should just end up with
an empty image from Mapserver.

Ogrsdelayer.cpp:

nSDEErr = SE_shape_generate_rectangle( &sEnvelope, hRectShape );
if( nSDEErr != SE_SUCCESS)
{
    poDS->IssueSDEError( nSDEErr, "SE_shape_generate_rectangle");
    return FALSE;
}

Is this Mapserver's or OGR's responsibility to fail silently? How can we
achieve this best?

We are using GDAL 1.7.0 (and Mapserver 5.2.3).

TIA.

Best regards,
Bart
