[gdal-dev] change attribute type of OSM data

[maning sambale]

Hi Even,

Here's mi osmconf.ini:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f9b34c34a2107fd4fb3a5dfa5931b78f

Converting to shapefile:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -overwrite labuildings.shp
california-latest.osm.pbf -spat -118.952 32.75 -117.646 34.8233
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -progress -sql 'select * from
multipolygons where building is not null'

I get the following:
ogrinfo -so -al labuildings.shp
<snip>
height: String (80.0)
ele: String (80.0)
start_date: String (80.0)
other_tags: String (254.0)
