Hi
Given a GDALDataset pointer, which has been opened using GDALOpenEx(...),
what is the best way to discover whether the dataset is raster or vector?

I have thought of checking the drivers' metadata for GDAL_DCAP_OF_RASTER or
VECTOR, but this could potentially return YES for both if it is e.g the
geopackage driver?
