[gdal-dev] 64bit integers

[Jeremy Palmer]

I have a WFS layer with a 64bit integer field (sufi):

http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/83de09e2215a4d0c914dbfe28bb71557/v/x1208/wfs?service=WFS

When using ogr this 64bit integer field gets truncated to 32bit without any warning. E.g

ogrinfo -al 'wfs:http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/83de09e2215a4d0c914dbfe28bb71557/v/x1208/wfs?service=WFS&MAXFEATURES=1'

OGRFeature(v:x1208):1384201
  gml_id (String) = x1208.1384201
  id (Integer) = 1384201
  sufi (Integer) = -1519442684
  name (String) = Copy of Daffodil Bay Road
  locality (String) = Sandy Point
  created (String) = 2012-09-04T01:04:02Z
  modified (String) = 2012-09-04T01:04:02Z
  text (String) = (null)
  unofficial_flag (String) = O
  editor (String) = jbedford
  version (Integer) = 1
  edit_action (String) = N
  status (String) = H

This of course then flows through to all drivers such as sqlite, postgresql, mysql, mssql etc.

Should ogr not cast these 64bit integers to an ogr string so data is not lost? At least until http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc31_ogr_64 is implemented?

Thanks,
Jeremy
