+When importing ESRI Shapefiles the OGR library tries to read the
LDID/codepage setting from the .dbf file and use it to translate
string fields to UTF-8. LDID "87 / 0x57" is treated as
ISO8859_1 which may not be appropriate for many
languages. Unfortunately it is not clear what other values may be
appropriate (see example below). To change encoding the user can set

+<h3>Supports of multiple geometry columns</h3>
Starting with GDAL 1.11 the library supports multiple geometry columns
in OGR. By default <em>v.in.ogr</em> reads all geometry columns from
given layer. The user can choose desired geometry column
by <b>geometry</b> option,
see <a href="#multiple-geometry-columns">example below</a>.
