[gdal-dev] Importing and exporting shapefiles in mySQL with OGR

["Dr. Markus Müller"]

Dear listers,

I am trying to get shapefiles in and out of a mySQL database using OGR. 
I found some example commands for importing and succeeded in doing this. 
But getting the syntax together to get a spatial dataset out of mySQL db 
seems to be over my head.

Can anybody supply an example command to convert from mySQL to shape? Or 
is it just not possible to export geodata from mySQL into shapefiles 
using OGR?


Thanx and best regards

Markus
