[gdal-dev] How to concatenate with newlines by using OGR SQL?

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Jukka,

You can try to pass the newline character directly from the command line.
With bash, you can use $'\n'. In your case it will be like this:

ogr2ogr -f gpx test.gpx finland.osm.pbf
-sql "select name,CONCAT(addr_street,"$'\n'",addr_housenumber)
as 'desc' from points where amenity='toilets'"
