Afternoon List.<div><br></div><div>I am trying to generate an empty feature (shp or gml) from a template that retains both the attribute-table schema and map projection.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't get the <b>-overwrite </b>flag to work, it just copies the entire feature (ie, makes a duplicate):</div>
<div><b><font color="#3366ff">ogr2ogr -overwrite -f "GML" geoname.gml /vsizip/vsicurl/ ${inZIP}/${inGML}</font></b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>The <a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/16510/1297">next commands</a>[1] work using <b>-where </b>or <b>-fid</b>: </div>
<div><b><font color="#3366ff">ogr2ogr -f "GML" geoname.gml /vsizip/vsicurl/ ${inZIP}/${inGML} -where "FID < 0"</font></b></div><div><b><font color="#3366ff">ogr2ogr -f "GML" geoname.gml /vsizip/vsicurl/ ${inZIP}/${inGML} -fid "< 0"</font></b>
</div><div><br></div><div>I thought the<b> -overwrite</b> flag would <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html" style="font-style:italic">delete the output layer and recreate it empty</a>[2]?</div><div>Can someone help me figure out how to properly use -overwrite?</div>
