[gdal-dev] Call for discusson on RFC 31 - OGR 64bit Integer Fields and FIDs

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

This is a call for discussion on revisiting the existing RFC 31 - OGR 64bit 
Integer Fields and FIDs, initiated by Frank in 2010 and that I've extended.

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc31_ogr_64

Below the summary :
"""
This RFC addresses steps to upgrade OGR to support 64bit integer fields and 
feature ids. Many feature data formats support wide integers, and the 
inability to transform these through OGR causes increasing numbers of 
problems. 
"""

A first discussion took place at http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-
dev/2010-November/thread.html#26883. My main remarks at that time were about 
compatibility issues, but as this would go in GDAL 2.0, they are likely less 
critical.
