[gdal-dev] Re: [FWTools] DXF2Postgis Blocks

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Bob,

Configuration options can be set in three ways. Programmatically, by
commandline switches or they can be set as environment variables.
The ogr2ogr utility doesn't use the commandline switch to set them. So the
only way left is by setting an environment variable.

On windows use can use the 'set' command to set the environment variable in
the shell. Once set all subsequent programs run on that shell will run
according to that variable.

Most of this is explained in the ConfigOptions page.

In your case you have to use two commands.
set DXF_INLINE_BLOCKS=false
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL -overwrite PG:"host='DBHost' user='postgres'
dbname='DBName' password='Pass'" DXFfile -nln 'Import_PID'
