[gdal-dev] OGR : Shapefile driver limits column name to 10 chars

[Anders Moe]

Hi all

The OGR shapefile driver has a documentet caveat in that column names can
not exceed 10 characters:

<http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html>Does anyone know if this is an
inherent limitation of the shapefile format or within the OGR driver ? Any
possibility that this will be lifted ? I'm using GDAL 1.7,

Regards,
Anders
