[GRASS-dev] datetime function in v.in.ogr

[Stefan Blumentrath]

Hi Paulo,

Maybe SQLITE dialect [1] in ogr2ogr could help?!
Could be worth a try to create a vector VRT [2] with ogr2ogr and import that.
No idea if it is faster but could be an option...

Cheers
Stefan

The OGR shapefile driver does not support this function. You need to import the shapefile into GRASS, using anything but the dbf driver as database driver (default is sqlite), then try to filter with v.extract where="datm_start >= datetime('2019-01-01')"

Ok, thanks, was hoping I could do a selection before to safe on the time ik takes to import. I'll look for a way to filter before import using another tool.
